let's do some comparison guys,
since i'm in Malaysia with 30+ degC all year round, my climate control is switched on practically all the time @ 20 - 23 degC. Of course, this impacts on my consumption. I can get about 12 km per litre cruising @120 km/h (that's about 33mpg, right?). However, the engine is a different beast if and when driven mostly in town (read crawling) traffic, where coupled with mid30 degC midday temps, will yield consumption figures as low as 5-7km per litre (from my rough estimates - pls correct me if I'm wrong). Again, the climate control is on all the time.
for your info, mine is the 2litre 16 valve version.
would be interesting to do some kind of "benchmarking" against a UK consumption figure.
cheers now
