Found this video randomly on youtube, all the way from Australia!
Essentially the owner drove a roundtrip of 2700km (1690 miles) from his home in Goulburn NSW to Adelaide SA for the Oz Renault Sport 2010 Nationals (a show I assume).
Got to love the dedication! Now some maths.
Right the car is showing 9800km on the clock (6125 miles), so the car is reasonably well run in you'd assume.
The fuel consumption is showing 8.9 litres per 100km. So thats 1.96 gallons per 62.5 miles, therefore hes done an average of 31.89mpg.
Average speed showed 92.6kmh, thats 56.25mph.
To be honest. I'd have expected marginally higher mpg, but I'm sure the hot weather & AC useage prevents this.
The car is showing 240.5 litres of petrol used. My local V Power stop is now £1.31 per litre, so thats £315! Just as well petrol is roughly half price in Oz!
I did also note the car said it needed a service soon. I assume this is because of the dry dusty atmosphere plays havoc with the filters, and they need replacing much soon than our dreary climate!
Any comments welcome!
