My average speed is 40km/h, and I do a mix of short and medium trips (2-15km each way).

My average fuel consumption over 3000km is 6.9L/100km. I do drive it nice and easy, and always set the speed limiter to the posted limit. I tend to back off to encourage a gear change (dual clutch auto), before depressing the accelerator a little further, thus using the torque of the engine more effectively.

Similar driving my previous BF would use around 14L/100km, I believe mainly due to the time spent driving with the motor still warming up.

Very happy with everything on the LW Trend so far!

Engine responds very well to mods, but auto gearbox can become unsettled trying to cope with the extra torque. Good fuel economy overall: 9-12L/100km city, 8L/100 country.
