regardless, I had 3 tanks at 4.8 L/100km (49mpg), 4.9L/100km (48mpg), and 5.0L/100km (47mpg).

Driving conditions were approximately 50-50 top up and top down, with air conditioning running when the top was up. The drive was probably 60% at 100kph (60mph), 20% at 110kph (68mph) and 20% at 80kph (50mph).

That is really impressive at those speeds. Shows just how much more efficient the new model is vs gen 1.


PPS: stunningly beautiful photos of the coast, a couple of posts back.
