What? How? You didn't brim it before starting and forget to brim it after did you? ;)

That awesome - I get around 25mpg but I do alot of City driving eg that stop start sh*t with the aircon allways on!

I've noticed that the XU10J4R when you take it for long drives gets awesome economy - last tank I got close to 800km off 95ron petrol!!!!

That's very good going. Best I've had in my diesel is onlt 50mpg, so you did very well there.

Were you wearing slippers??

im still not sure myself how i got such great mpg, it was solid 70mph 90% of the time but i did give it some boot now and again for overtaking and such
