Yea, the Transport Canada ratings were even a bit more generous than the old US EPA ratings. I only ever saw the govt rated 5.7 on my tank average once on an easy going hiway drive (although I did get to 5.8 on my current tank on Saturday). Sask is nice and flat, if you find yourself on a long run on a warm day where you can go 70 to 95kph I have seen the car settle into a steady 5L/100km on the instantaneous FE display for long periods that does wonders on the tank average display. It's a bit of a mystery though, some days its easy and other days it just won't.

Two climate control systems, one inside and the other at the tailpipe.
