Fuel consumption is ok when you think of the size etc, cant comment on the 3.0 but on mine it averages 25mpg for all the town or short stuff I do but when you get on the motorway etc it will easily display over 40mpg at 70.

Wow, that's impressive for 4.2! Mine is a 10 plate SE which has then newer style rear lights however only 6 speed auto. Tempted to swap for the newer 8 speeds if the economy is better - around the city mine never see anything above 21 and usually returns 18mpg average.

Regarding tyre wear I used to leave it under Sport (lowest) suspension setting most of the time and find the tyres wear quicker usually noticeable around the inside threads. I just leave suspension in Auto now and so far the wear is even and good (although I think the mpg dropped a little).
