That is very good for urban driving! Do you use stop start?

I am on my first tankful of 98RON V-Power petrol I filled up myself after the initial 95RON tankful, which came with the car. Now I know the fuel gauge is not a truly accurate guide, but at 3/4 full, I had covered 270kms. I was VERY impressed. I am at 370kms and still well above half a tankful.
This has been only inner SE Melbourne Metro driving. Not even a trip on the M1. I get that on Tuesday!! Just local tram & non tram streets with heavy morning/afternoon traffic and lots of traffic lights. I generally use Comfort mode to start off with and if I see a good run, I will switch to EcoPro mode to glide along. It really offers very low (engine & chassis) braking resistance. For those of you not familiar with Melbourne's geography, it is mostly flat. In heavy, slow moving peak traffic, On occasion, I cannot see any reason to shift out of EcoPro mode, even when moving off from the lights as the traffic doesn't move fast enough anyway and EP keeps up. I have ASS active at all times and enjoy it. It certainly helps, no question. All this with just 1,500kms on the 'clock'. My E90 used to cover a little over 400kms a tankful of 98RON V-Power along the same routes. Same sized 60 (or so) litre tanks.

Next time don't use your ass and do a tank. Let's see how much of a difference your ass makes.

Seems about right, Seph.
I tend to use EcoPro/ASS in the mornings and evenings for the commute if it's not too hot. I tend to pick up an additional 15km or so of range each tank, more if there's highway driving involved. |

Yeah, that's interesting. ASS is worth quite a bit then. Not sure I could live with it on all the time though.

Melbourne Metro driving. Around 50kms of it of M1 (Monash freeway) @ up to 100km/h. Also includes 45 mins stuck in heavy peak hr traffic between Crown Casino and Brunswick St Fitzroy. ASS always active. I do not have a problem with it.

95% of the time, mine switches off at the lights and when stopped in traffic. When ASS is deactivated by the car, it idles smoothly.
