Did a 1 week vacation a couple of weeks ago - Ottawa to Grand Bend, with stops in Kingston, Toronto (intentional and traffic :-) ), and side trips around to Stratford etc.

Driving was 115-125kph on the 401/402 when I could, puttering around very day through Grand Bend and on secondary roads at 90-100kph. A Friday evening rush hour slog through downtown Toronto on the way out. 3 accidents on the 401 through Toronto on the way in (my sympathies to all you Toronto drivers who put up with that every freaking day!). . Cruise control when the conditions allowed. Comfort mode.

I reset the Trip computer at the beginning of the trip. A the end IIRC it read ~2200km, ~85kph avg speed, 6.7 l/100km (35 mpg US, 42 Imp).

Three fill-ups for the trip - outbound in Toronto, there the day before we headed home, and day after the end of the trip in Ottawa: 6.9, 6.7, 6.2. The 6.2 (38 mpg US, 45 imp) was an 8 hour drive home with those traffic jams in Toronto. 4 stops. Freakishly good mileage.

The OBC seems to be dead on, or a bit pessimistic my .1 to .2 l/100km. Using straight premium, no ethanol if I can avoid it.
