most importers claim 30mpg (despite none of us quite getting there) but 40... he's optimistic!

I average 12.2L/100Km around the streets of Vancouver, and a little better out on the highway.

Even if it were IMP gallons it still would be 7lt/100 km. That's what I get now on the highway or better in my Outback.

My 2000km trip within the last month which included idling overnight (while I slept)
and both highway and city travel was computed at 26 mpg. I keep track
of it to write it off for taxes (reciepts and mileage)
