Driving from Sydney to Melbourne, it managed 6.0L / 100km.
1/4 mile time was 16.4 and 0-100 probably 10.0 seconds. so it was no slouch for an n/a.
I've just done my first tank in the AWD - trip computer says 17.9L / 100km. I am just getting used to it and probably it's right foot to blame. I'll hope this improves over the next few tanks as I get used to it.
