    Hi there tpham,

    I think there are two answers here. 1) City driving and 2) your wife.

    I usually get around 12L / 100km with urban driving (somwhere in between city and country conditions) and have only achieved under 10L / 100km once with mainly country driving. The closer to the city and the more stop/start or heavy traffic driving, the worse your fuel consumption is going to be.

    I always find that my wife gets worse fuel consumption than me. I notice that she is quicker on the take-off and does not "read" the traffic or signals ahead like I do. So she uses the brakes a lot more and is less likely to achieve a rolling start at an intersection. I guess this is why her fuel consumption is poor.

    How are your tyre pressures? I keep mine in the high 30's

    Oil change and fuel type? I don't know as I haven't tried.

    Good luck.....

    Hi, i run 40psi in my Brigestone tyres, recommended by the Service manager & Bridgestones. i get an average of 10-12 in the city, and average 8-9 on the highway/Freeway.
