In addition, it included 3 cold starts at about 20 degrees centigrade (~70 Fahrenheit) and maybe 15-20 minutes of city driving.
This tank gave a nice fuel consumption of 7.5 l/100 km (31.5 mpg) (measured by calculating fuel filled vs. corrected odometer reading) with the car loaded to 2450 kg (5400 lbs), which is actually a bit over maximum allowed total weight for the car (...)

Wow
We use the same van at work to move from job to job on a construction site.
Transporting from 4 to 6 adults all the time, plus tools and supply.
Lots of idling, average speed for a 8 hour day must be below 40km/hour, including 20km of highway (120km/h) from our work site to the place I work for.
We are getting from 20 to 25L/100km.
I'm glad to see its only our fault if it gets that bad of a fuel consumption, because there is a lot of Caravan on the road nowadays.
