Another brilliant feature of the 380, the accuracy of its fuel consumption calculations, refilled a full tank and read km done, spot on to the cars calculations. Around town about 10.5l/10km on a run 7.5l/100km I will check again using ron 95. Really happy with the car, niggly issues with indicator but reparied that with a zip tie. Il try the new whiz bang insurance I got with the car...see if I can get a new Indcator unit off them:)

That is fantastic consumption
In 5 years I have never bettered under 9 on a run and average 13/14 around town
I must be a real leadfoot

Ive been very gentle to get those figures generally..on 1 particular flat road at 80 and 90k/hr we got 40km for 3l...thats 100km for 7.5l...I seriously doubted the accurracy of the onboard fuel use, until I did the full tank, run and refill tank and km done...and it was within 1/2 a litre over 40 litres running..

Sounds good for the 3.8L motor.
My TJ 3.5 auto gets 13 around town and 7.7 on a 300 km trip Adelaide-Waikerie. Nice to know the extra capacity and power of the 380 doesn't blunt the fuel economy.

My 380 gets 13 around town & 7.5 on long trips, that is running on 98 . My TL gets 11 around town & 7.5km on trips on 98 as well. Sounds like great fuel economy around town for a 380.
