For example - my figures

BF mk v8 Ghia - ~18L/100km - Average speed 27km/h. That's what I consider peak hour driving.

It really is quite redundant when people quote their 'peak hour' driving without including an average speed, because as you can see from the above - there's a bloody huge difference.


No, I didn't claim peak hour driving exclusively. I also included 2 weekend trips up/down the freeway of 80k's each, thought I was pretty clear with the info I provided. Thats what my car currently does each week.

Oh, and it's currently got 3,200k's on the clock so pretty much run in and still on the factory mineral oil and naturally being a V8, gets the odd squirt.
