2300 mile long trip to Switzerland and Italy has ended. I've calculated all my fuel reciepts, and ends up with an average 45,2 mpg. All kind of driving has been included, a lot of motorway, German 'stau', heavy mountain climbing, slow city driving, daily family excursions.
I don't think thats too bad? A nonhybrid with CVT? Only one trip going over a mountain in Switzerland in 2.250 m., that was truly a nightmare. Painfully slow, very heavy climbing, and at one stop to shoot photos, eveything just smelled really hot. And fuel running through like dropping a stone in water.
In Switzerland, one of my headlights died, so I went to a Swiss Toyota dealer, since HIR2 bulbs can't be found anywhere. 70 CHF or 60 GBP for just one bulb. Insane, totally madness.
Where has you been going this summer with your Auris?
