Thread: fuel consumption on current 110

At 8l/100km I'd be checking the accuracy of the odometer. From what I understand they usually over read showing more mileage than you're actually doing thereby giving you better economy than you're actually getting.

Unless, the distances you're covering match the distances shown on the ODO, which mine do.

I don't literally mean 8.0l/100kms. The best I've seen is 8.35......, I'm generally 8.9 in the city.

Not bad. Mine gets about 390 on the hwy and 200 in the bush. So you should be happy with 700. He he. Mine is a v8 auto tissue box mind you. Lol

10.5 per 100k's is about what I'm getting.
As mentioned before you'll have to match up you tow bar and long range fuel tank. Not all tow bars suit the larger under slung replacement tanks.
Also some tow bar interfere with the rear step.
There are three types of tanks I know of. 45L sub tanks, the "longranger' type replacement tanks and 'Mulgo' wing tanks.
The 'Mulgo' wing tanks look real interesting. Anyone here got one?

I usually get between 10 and 12l/100km depending on the situation in an 07 puma. I have managed to do 120km on the fuel light so it does come on fairly early. I expect based on fuel tank size there was still a bit to go. I have fitted the OL 45l tank. There are two weak points with the tank.

1. the mudflap is bolted to a guard welded to the bottom of the tank. I have seen this ripped off on another defender and the tank had a hole in it.

2. the hose that drains to the main tank is very exposed to branches etc.

I presume that you mean 1200 km.

You can probably get another 100 km once the light comes on

So 1300 km out of 116 effective litres is a very good result 4 is kept in reserve for dire circumstances.

I've managed 1065 km.

I get on average 10 litres / 100km. I did before any accessory was added - I do now, with bullbar, roofrack awning, shovel, Mickey T 33 Muds.....etc etc. Empty, fully loaded - doesn't matter - 10l / 100km.

On my trip around Oz - with 800kg on board, and having driven over maybe one third of the country at 10km/h with the tyres at 14psi - I still got 9.3 km /100km

These trucks are brilliant on the juice.

PS - I also use the Dolium (OL supplied) aux fuel tank. Gravity feeds into main tank so no issues with warranty, despite what some have said on this point.

110 2008 Puma Tdci, recent check. 61.19 litres (13.49 gallons),396.5 miles =29.4 mpg.
