Thanks guys. I'm a photographer by trade, so it was bound to be the first thing I do when the car hit the road again :).

I would love to hear some real world fuel consumption figures once you have racked up a few k's

I'd like to compare against my 2.0l and new 2.5l too.

Fuel warning light comes on at around 440-450.

Previous owner reckons its still got 100+ k's to go on that but I'm thinking nearer 60 going by the owners manual of 10 Liters left in the tank when the light comes on.

Yup... just started keeping track of the mileage yesterday, so I'll update when I know more.

So far, on the open road - 8L to the 100 sounds about right. Seems to be doing about 11l per 100 around town.
