You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the average of the sums of absolute differences between each pair of consecutive numbers for all permutations of a given list. Each permutation is considered, and the differences are computed for each consecutive pair in the permutation.

### Approach
1. **Generate Permutations**: Use `itertools.permutations` to generate all possible permutations of the input list. Each permutation is a rearrangement of the list elements.
2. **Compute Sum of Differences**: For each permutation, compute the sum of absolute differences between each pair of consecutive elements.
3. **Calculate Average**: Sum all these computed sums across all permutations and then divide by the total number of permutations to get the average.

### Solution Code
```python
import itertools
from random import shuffle

def task_func(numbers=list(range(1, 3))):
    total = 0
    n = len(numbers)
    permutations = itertools.permutations(numbers)
    count = 0
    for perm in permutations:
        count += 1
        current_sum = 0
        for i in range(n - 1):
            current_sum += abs(perm[i] - perm[i + 1])
        total += current_sum
    average = total / count if count != 0 else 0.0
    return average
```

### Explanation
1. **Generating Permutations**: The function `itertools.permutations(numbers)` generates all possible orderings of the input list `numbers`.
2. **Iterating Through Permutations**: For each permutation, we iterate through the elements and compute the sum of absolute differences between each consecutive pair of elements.
3. **Summing Differences**: Each permutation's sum of differences is accumulated into a total sum.
4. **Calculating Average**: After processing all permutations, the total sum of differences is divided by the number of permutations to find the average.

This approach ensures that we consider every possible permutation of the input list and compute the required average efficiently.

Okay, I need to solve this problem where I have to calculate the average of the sums of absolute differences between each pair of consecutive numbers for all permutations of a given list. Hmm, let's break this down.

First, the function is called task_func and it takes a list of numbers as an argument. The default is list(range(1, 3)), but wait, that's just [1,2], right? Or maybe the example uses [1,2,3]. Oh, the example shows task_func([1,2,3]).

So, the task is to consider all possible permutations of the input list. For each permutation, I need to compute the sum of absolute differences between each consecutive pair. Then, take the average of all these sums across all permutations.

Wait, but how many permutations are there? For a list of length n, there are n! permutations. So for each permutation, I calculate the sum of |a_i - a_{i+1}| for i from 0 to n-2.

The challenge is to compute this efficiently because for larger n, generating all permutations could be computationally expensive. But given the allowed libraries are itertools and random, I think I can use itertools.permutations to generate all possible orderings.

Let me outline the steps:

1. Generate all possible permutations of the input list.
2. For each permutation, compute the sum of absolute differences between consecutive elements.
3. Sum all these sums across all permutations.
4. Divide by the total number of permutations to get the average.

But wait, for a list of size n, each permutation is a tuple of length n. So for each permutation, I need to loop from 0 to n-2, compute the absolute difference between each pair, and sum them.

Let me think about the example given. For [1,2,3], the permutations are all 6 possible orderings. For each, calculate the sum of consecutive differences.

For example:
- [1,2,3]: |1-2| + |2-3| = 1 + 1 = 2
- [1,3,2]: |1-3| + |3-2| = 2 + 1 = 3
- [2,1,3]: |2-1| + |1-3| = 1 + 2 = 3
- [2,3,1]: |2-3| + |3-1| = 1 + 2 = 3
- [3,1,2]: |3-1| + |1-2| = 2 + 1 = 3
- [3,2,1]: |3-2| + |2-1| = 1 + 1 = 2

Adding all these sums: 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 16. Then average is 16 / 6 ≈ 2.6667.

So the function should return approximately 2.6667 for [1,2,3].

Now, how to implement this in Python.

First, I'll import itertools and use itertools.permutations. For each permutation in itertools.permutations(numbers), I'll compute the sum of absolute differences.

But wait, for each permutation, I can loop through the elements and compute the differences. Let's see:

sum_diff = 0
for i in range(len(perm)-1):
    sum_diff += abs(perm[i] - perm[i+1])

Then, add sum_diff to a total sum.

Once all permutations are processed, divide the total by the number of permutations, which is factorial(len(numbers)).

But wait, for larger n, the factorial grows very quickly. For example, n=10, there are 3.6 million permutations. That's manageable, but for n=12, it's 479 million, which might be slow. But the problem allows it, so perhaps it's acceptable.

So, the code structure would be:

import itertools

def task_func(numbers=list(range(1, 3))):
    total = 0
    n = len(numbers)
    permutations = itertools.permutations(numbers)
    count = 0
    for perm in permutations:
        count += 1
        current_sum = 0
        for i in range(n-1):
            current_sum += abs(perm[i] - perm[i+1])
        total += current_sum
    average = total / count
    return average

Wait, but wait. The default in the function is list(range(1,3)), which is [1,2]. Let's test that.

For [1,2], the permutations are [1,2] and [2,1]. For each:

[1,2]: |1-2|=1
[2,1]: |2-1|=1
Total sum is 2. Number of permutations is 2. Average is 1.0.

So the function would return 1.0 for the default case.

But wait, the function's default is numbers=list(range(1,3)), which is [1,2], correct.

But in the code above, for each permutation, we loop through all consecutive pairs. That's correct.

But wait, for n=1, the list has only one element. Then, there are no consecutive pairs, so the sum is 0. So for n=1, the average is 0.

But the function's example uses [1,2,3], which is handled correctly.

Now, let's think about the efficiency. For n=10, 10! is 3,628,800 permutations. For each, we loop 9 times. So total operations are about 32 million. That's manageable, but perhaps for larger n, it's not feasible. But the problem allows it, so perhaps it's acceptable.

But wait, the problem says that the function should return the average. So the code as written should work.

But wait, in the code, for each permutation, we are generating a tuple, and then looping through it. That's correct.

But perhaps there's a smarter way to compute the average without enumerating all permutations. Because for larger n, this approach is computationally expensive.

Wait, but the problem allows using itertools and random, but perhaps the intended solution is to generate all permutations and compute the sum as above.

So, the code as written should be correct.

But let's test the example. For [1,2,3], the average is 16/6 = 8/3 ≈ 2.6666666666666665.

So the function should return that.

Another test case: numbers = [1,1]. The permutations are only one, since both elements are same. The sum is |1-1|=0. So average is 0.

Another test: numbers = [3,1,2]. Let's compute all permutations.

Wait, but the code would handle all permutations correctly.

So, the code seems correct.

But wait, in the function, the default is list(range(1,3)), which is [1,2]. So the function's default is correct.

But wait, in the code, the function is written as:

def task_func(numbers=list(range(1, 3))):
    ...

But in the problem statement, the default is numbers from 1 to 3, which is [1,2,3]. Wait, no, the problem says: "Default is numbers from 1 to 10." Wait, no, looking back:

The function's docstring says: "Default is numbers from 1 to 10." Wait, no, the function's default is list(range(1,3)), which is [1,2], but the docstring says default is numbers from 1 to 3? Or wait, the problem says:

In the function definition, the default is list(range(1,3)), which is [1,2]. But the docstring says: "Default is numbers from 1 to 10." That's a discrepancy.

Wait, looking 
…[1255 chars elided]…
ents, it uses [1,2].

But the problem's example uses [1,2,3], which is handled correctly.

So, the code should be correct.

But perhaps the function's default is a mistake, but the problem says to keep the given name and signature, so I have to proceed.

So, the code I wrote earlier should be correct.

Wait, but in the code, for each permutation, I loop through each consecutive pair. That's correct.

But perhaps the code can be optimized. For example, for each permutation, the sum is the sum of absolute differences between consecutive elements. So, for each permutation, it's O(n) time.

But for n up to 10, it's manageable.

So, the code should work.

But wait, in the code, the function is called task_func, and it's at module level. So, the code is correct.

But wait, in the function, the default is list(range(1,3)), which is [1,2], but the docstring says the default is numbers from 1 to 10. So perhaps the function's default is wrong, but the problem says to keep the given signature, so I have to proceed.

So, the code I wrote should be correct.

But wait, perhaps I should test it with the example.

Testing the example:

numbers = [1,2,3]

The permutations are 6 in total.

As calculated earlier, the sum is 16, average is 16/6 = 8/3 ≈ 2.6666666666666665.

So, the function should return that.

In code:

sum_diff for each permutation:

As above, the sum is 16.

So, the code should return 16 / 6.

Yes.

Another test case: numbers = [1,1]

Only one permutation, sum is 0. So average is 0.

Another test case: numbers = [5]

Only one permutation, sum is 0. So average is 0.

Another test case: numbers = [1,3]

Permutations are [1,3] and [3,1].

Sum for each is 2 and 2. Total sum 4, average 2.0.

So, function returns 2.0.

So, the code seems correct.

But wait, in the code, the function is named task_func, and it's at module level. So, the code is correct.

But wait, in the code, the function uses the default as [1,2], but the problem's example uses [1,2,3]. So, the code is correct.

So, the code I wrote should be correct.
