It would do 9km a litre (24.5 mph) on gas and on petrol it would do 11km a litre (29.5 mpg)
First I thought I had made a mistake but then realised I had not used any petrol anyway . Just keep the speed between 100 and 110 km an hour and it will learn to use a lot less fuel . I only wish my mk 6's could do the same sort of figures , although my jumbo gets close to that
