My new record :)
Now even I will admit this wasn't a normal tank for me. I filled up at Takanini, got on the motorway and went all to Orewa on the motorway, then back down to Pukekohe then to home. I then made two trips to a friends place about 20km away, on seperate days. Then after coming back from Aus I went from home up to the Mangawhai Heads, then all the way back home, then today a trip of about 15km to the shops, bit of town driving, then fill up. So about 450km of the tank was driving on the motorway at a solid 100kmh, another 100km of back road driving at 80-90kmh, and the rest driving around in town.
I don't think I'll be able to beat it any time soon with 91, but I'm going to try a few tanks of Gull 95 and see what happens. My previous driving with the car typically got around 8.5-9l/100km, but that was doing about 70km on the motorway each day, and about 40km driving around town each day.
