What are you guys getting in the warmer weather these days?
I have been aiming at hitting near 600km on 62L or so of fuel, with a 50/50 mix of city/highway with my M6 coupe.

I'm Averaging about 12.9L/100km in the warm weather, but I tend to jump off the line at red lights a lot. I should note that this is 100% city driving.

I have been averaging 10.5L/100km. My driving is approximately 75% highway and 25% city.

I haven't calculated mine either. I'm taking a trip out of town soon so I will calculate my highway miles.

LMAO Ian!

Come to think of it, I have no idea what you picked up for a DD? What did you end up getting? Whatever it is, I am sure it was a big change coming from the Z4M.

LOL... it sure the H is a big change, but the damn thing is growing on me (for DD purposes)
- Free money from GM didn't hurt the decision either.

My Saturn Astra...

^ Sweet, I really love those Ian. I saw a ton of those over in Europe (Opel badged of course) and I thought they were a really sharp little car. Great choice for a little DD.

I have a basic idea but only really track it at all on a long highway trip. Runs 30-32 mpg on the highway and 20-22 combined.

yeah, it's nice. On Friday I was talking to the owner of our two Saturn stores here about the Astra. He mentioned the GM were what really got it kick started and that it is really a great handling car.

LOL, and I'd rather have your gas bill. That being said, I no longer make a conscious effort to figure out my L/km. I assume I get 11/100 and enjoy the ride. Tried to drive like a prissy ahole for 10 days and didn't enjoy the G much. Frig that. Now I drive it reasonably, no rabbit starts but let the dog run on the hwy and am back to lovin it.
The next car will be more fuel efficient ( Nancy's ) car.

yeah, yeah, that's it, sometimes my foot slips. I was adjusting my seat belt, there was only a limited space between oncoming traffic, just getting into the flow of traffic.
Heck Ian, you're right, she does sound sweet. Afterall it was at the end of a meat (pork).
