Likewise 19l/100km around the city.  That is high, especially in comparison to the JTS engine.  However, I guess you do get that great engine note (love the sound of the V6) and obviously a little more power !!  I assume when touring it fuel consumption does improve ??   

Hi David,

You will pleased to hear its down to a frugal 18l/100km.
Highway cycle is 8.5-10l/100km.  Not too bad

Cheers,

Marco.

Hey Marco

That is excellent news, your 159 is getter better by the day !! Still you couldnt complain about the highway economy level.  That is perfectly fine. 

Thanks Joe also on the feedback re your 2.2 JTS wagon

Good advice all around and something to think about when it is time to replace the 156.
