Around town and local driving I get about 12-12.4 ltr/100km. Highway driving at high speed 90-110kph I can get between 9.8-10.5 ltr/100km. when driving through hills (Adelaide) I can get 10.5-11.2 ltr/100km.
With local driving the consumption varies depending on the speed limit of the roads I use. A lot of 50kph roads compared to 60kph, will increase the consumption by about 1 ltr/100km because of the auto transmission won't change into top gear until I exceed 53kph.
The Grand Carnival is a heavy car with a powerful engine so fuel economy is never going to be one of it strong points around town. On the open road the power is great and the weight makes for a smooth ride. The handling when driving through hills on twisting roads is great and I can corner with the best of them.
