The 4.8l (petrol) Nissan Patrol usually uses 20-25l/100km in road tests that I've seen.

I applaud your efforts in coasting whenever possible, as you can see it makes a difference in the MPG's. Your brakes will last longer as well.
Yes. PM Yoshi at gassavers.org about a SuperMID.

Great, thankyou. I have been thinking for a long time about a MPG gauge to keep my hypermiling efforts focused.

What variety of E30 is yours?
My W126 Mercedes, the big S-Class from the '80s with a 4.2 liter V-8, was just like that. At Denver's altitude of about 5200, I got 18.5-20 mpg on the average. Down in The Swamp (a lot of which is *below* sea level), my mileage dropped to 17.5-18.
