Well, I drove to the next town west of here for lunch, 145 km each way. It's hilly and lots of passing required with speeds mostly between 80 and 110 kph.
My previous two trips in the stock GV yielded 7.31 and 7.29 L/100km.
With my shiny new free-wheeling hubs I netted 7.04 L/100km, a 3.6% improvement.
The only variable that I can't confirm is the same is that I may have used the AC occasionally in the first two trips, while I did not use it today.
