Nice one Bryce.
Last week Raf (black dog) and I did a road trip over three days; Sydney - Yarrawonga - Melbourne - Yarrawonga - Sydney in the E Estate and averaged 5.1 litre per 100ks. Most of it was done on Distronic Plus to keep matters simple and safe. The purpose was to collect the following items -

The clock looks rather impressive I can see why you went to Melbourne to fetch it.

Sounds like you are having the perfect road trip Bryce. Imagine the comfort if you had taken the DS.

I hope you are finding better food on your roadtrip than I found. At one point, needing food I was tempted by McDonalds. Suffice to say that Raf refused to eat any part of the beef burger I bought for him. He pulled it apart and sniffed it but simply dug in his paws and refused. We got to the Dog on the Tuckerbox and he inhaled a couple of egg and lettuce sandwiches with great gusto. So did I.
Highway food is generally poor - to say nothing of the state of the toilets. At least Raf needs only a tree...

We've mostly been eating at country bakeries for breakfast and lunch, and then pubs for dinner. It's been pretty good!

Some gems there Bryce.
2 things.
Please let us know about the other cars fuel pump when sorted, yes it sounds like its current draw is way to much.
Id like to see what that bearing looks like when you get it off.
