| Are you using a 4wheel drive? Again so if it's automatic please use Over Drive on the highway because normal drive chows too much fuel. Watch out for putting the leg in the tank as it burns more fuel & gives little or no change. On the highway automatic cars rely on high raves to maintain speed but if you use overdrive it uses between 2000RPM & 3.4RPM to maintain speeds between 120 & 160KM/H i.e if the overdive button is on. I am in Gaborone and have a friend who recently purchased an ipsum and that's what i discovered |

| Ipsum uses less on highways. I agree you have to use your overdrive and it will give about 15km per ltr. |

| Bud fuel pump,dirty fuel filter and a blocked idling sencer is a major course of this. |
