Hiall, Just got back from Alfa Romeo Owners Club Australia's annual national gathering "Alfesta". We took our new 159 3.2lt on it maiden long drive. About 1500 kms there and back. I was disappointed by the fuel economy. The best the computer read was 9.5lt per 100kms (about 29.73MPG). That's travelling at 100kph on the level.
