Small update. I got three good road trip tanks in. Driving in light to heavy rain, mostly with the top down, at 100-110kph, with some change in elevation (up and down ~1500m), I'm averaging right around 5.6L/100km or ~42mpg, give or take. I expect my one outlier tank closer to 50 was probably an overfill, combined with descending in elevation.

Tire pressure was in the ballpark of 36psi. I prefer to run them around 38, but any higher and the ride gets punishingly harsh. I didn't feel it was worth a top-off for 2psi. The spec calls for 29psi.
