From Vic roads. This is the national standard.

Built-up areas
The speed limit in a built-up area is 50 kilometres per hour (km/h) unless signed otherwise. A built-up area is where there are buildings and/or houses next to the road or there is street lighting at intervals not over 100 metres apart for a distance of 500 metres or more.

Rural areas
The speed limit outside built-up areas in Victoria is 100 km/h unless signs tell you otherwise.

I believe it is you that needs to grow a brain. The national speedlimit is recognised officially as 100km/h. 110 and 130 zones are regard as “exceptional zones”.

Grow a brain.

If there are drivable sections in Australia that allow 130km/hr speed limits, then 100km/hr is not the speed limit of Australia. Contradict yourself much?

Anthony, I think if you drove it everywhere in second gear and rode the brakes for good measure, you should be able to get it up to 10L/100Km before you totally destroyed the engine.

G’day Paul

How full do you fill the tank? Until the 1st click or soon thereafter? Or do you trickle fill it full?

1 annoying thing with Diesel fuel is that it foams, when filling an empty tank to ‘full’ and the bowser has cut out for the first time your tank is about 1/4 (ie nearly 15lits, which can = 250kms+ lost) full of foam/bubbles whatever you want to call it. If you have the patience, after this first click slowly trickle the fuel in until it’s either fuel or you get fed up.

Personally the most I’ve driven with the light on was about 60-70km, I’ve heard of people doing over 100km but I haven’t had the guts to push it that far. Generally the low fuel light comes on when the DTE says 100-110km (but stops working at 50).

Hyundai makes good cars and there getting better year by year. Honestly, they are comparable to Honda & Toyota at just a much better price. This can not be said for Kia.

fuel consumtion sounds a bit high to me too, I have just driven new subaru outback deisel for the last week, and even flogging it and sitting on 130km/h on highway i still couldnt get it to use more than 6.4l/100km, and thats in a bigger heavier wagon running awd and has a bigger more powerful diesel engine!!!!! Yes I probably had more highway use than yourself but it didnt seem to make much difference highway or flogging around town still 6.4l/100km…

We have done about 4000km in our i30cw and are yet get more that 740km aout of a tank. We could probably get more, but I tend to fill up as soon as the fuel light comes on. Best car I have ever owned.
