I just got back from a month on the road through France, Switzerland and Italy. Fully loaded 5LR with 2 adults and 2 kids. Trips up the Alps as well as a few spells of 130kph motorway driving (although mainly stuck to around 100/110kph as 130 seriously drains the range!). Eco with Kers3 ad A/C on for whole time as had many days of 30/40c heat. Very happy with 3.8m/kWh for the trip!
Quite amusing stats for a 11km drive with 600m vertical climb in the Alps - finished at 20% on the way up and 52.9 kw/100km and then added 4% charge on the way down and -19.9 kw/100km stats - just as well as range was getting a bit squeaky bum time!
Planning to do a quick write up of the trip with tips etc for anyone planning a trip to the continent - will update this with a link when i've done it!
