Thank's for your help guys and I do love the dish on those rims looks the better than any wheel I have seen before in little old Adelaide.

Towmaster also your old wagon looked great and I would guess you would rotate through cars every couple of years when you do that sort of milage.

Well this has given me a realy good idea of real world feed back and from this it looks like I should expect between 14-16 ltrs per hundred for city driving with economy in mind i think. The towing consumption was around what i expected and this is similar to me whipping the old 3.6 ltr omega wagon with a furniture box trailer and that was about 22ltrs at 90 to 100 Kmph depending on wind direction and any hill would bring me down to 70 kmph.

Also on some of the blogs I have read it looks like auto and manual vary in consumption a bit and some auto's have got better consumption than the manuals. i have found on guy localy I know and he averages 17 to 18 ltrs with about 50% city and country with a manual ute. ( he loves the V8 sound so his shift points are a bit higher up the rev range than most I would think)

I am looking at an auto and being a rep I travel 70% city and 30% country and need to also fit with the company rules with the new car so this has helped
