but going 100km/ i get 15L/100km and 110-120km i get 17L/100km
just seems going 90km on a highway is WAY cheaper than going 100km
from 10L to 15L per 100km is a big jump
usually with my other cars highway driving is 2x cheaper than city driving
but in my case highway gives me the worst fuel economy compare to light city driving i live in a small town if im driving 60-80km/H through the town without too many red lights i get 8-9L/100km and can get about 600km to the tank
on highway however i get 450km max.
i was thinking is it my stock venture roofrack causing such bad higher speed Fuel economy because more resistance from the wind vs lower speeds
or is this normal ?
for RPM on highway its exactly at 2.1rpm when driving 110km/h

I think there's something off here. Last summer I drove regularly camping 250km one way with about 200km o highway at 110-120 km/h. My 2010 SR5 was loaded with gear and had canoe on the roof but it had around 13.5L, i.e. for 500km round trip I put under 70 L of gas when I got back.
I had 15L/10km in winter when I drove 9 km to work - truck is barely warmed up when I arriver to the office.
