Default Fuel Economy (Campbelltown to Sorell Cruise)

I overheard a couple of guys discussing fuel economy on the Campbelltown to Sorell cruise, and I thought you might be interested to know mine.

Like Ian, I drove home from Sorell.

I drove 478km at an average speed of 82kph using 12.4 l/100km

Hi Trevor,

I didnt check mine after Sorell, But from Launceston to Sorell i used 10.4 L/100 from memory. Then after sat arvo and sunday in town it was 11.8 L/100 when i dropped the car off at Brighton. I didnt think to check the average speed or DTE.

Interesting. Trip down achieved 11.8 l/100 @ 91kph average. Trip home 11.4 l/100 @94kph average. Total of 605 ks for the day. Trip home was mostly on cruise. I cannot complain excellent economy and still under 10,000ks on the Cobra.

A little bit off topic I know, but I'd just like to say thank you to all for having me along for the day to see what the club is all about.

I enjoyed both the day and meeting some new people, and look forward to joining as a full member.

Cheers,

Chris.

These are some good numbers, guys. Steve, if you remember, how did your F6 go?

So, nobody is getting the horror story numbers of 14, 15, 18 like I read about in the B Series forum?

Chris, the Mini Golf in May will be good fun (and for the whole family) see you there.
