    Our new puma seems to be doing 12.6 L/100km.
    You don't need an app.

    Fill it up to the top zero your odometer then when you next fill up record the new litres you have put in and use them against the klm travelled. E.g

    Yesterday I filled up 105L and my odo from last zero read 853klm

    The calc is 105 divided by 8.53 = 12.3 L/100klm

    Don't forget to put a decimal after your first figure in the klm 853klm calc as 8.53

    I had been getting awful fuel figures when I first bought mine 15 & 16's I'm now since changing driving style averaging 12's but that's driving like a bitch, and if I drive like a grumpy 100 year old bitch I can get 11.8's if I drive it to keep up with traffic it goes up considerably

    I want to get a bumper sticker that reads "If I had to overtake you in my Defender, get off the Bloody road, get your head checked" defenders should be the precedent on the slowest you are allowed to travel or take off from the traffic lights.
    I really do feel sorry for people behind me at lights.

    I really don't know how people achieve 10's & 9's??? Must not rev it over 1500rpm through every gear change an sit on 80klm everywhere including 110 speed zones

    BAS remap

    I drive the landy everyday to work. Once it's warmed up, I drive it like I stole it.

    Gear changes are usually at 2500rpm, but on the long uphills to work, I keep it in the power band, changing at 3000-3500rpm.

    A BAS remap for the 2.2 is available now? Got any info? I know they are available for the 2.4, but the 2.2 is a bit different - both in the map and the fuel economy.

    Yeah, I spoke with John Davis before I bought mine, he said that he would not have one until January. Well it's January, looks like I will have to call him, today. I'll keep you posted.

    I use a free app called " road trip" .. Very Easy to use .
    Graphs , trips and car expense as well in it..

    Just got back from a 3500km road trip in my Puma.
    Fully loaded , 4 people , packed roof racks etc..
    Mostly sealed roads, but a bit of sand on Frazer island and
    plenty of dirt in the Coffs hinterland

    Average mileage was 11.4
    Best was 10.1 and worst 12.9

    I do have my EGR disconnected thought ( just unplugged with MiL always on)

    No, no remap for the 2.2 yet.


    As far as fuel economy, the 2.2 will have worse economy than the 2.4 - stricter emissions controls, DPF, smaller capacity, etc.

    2500 rpm is not driving like you stole it, you need that up to 3rd gear as a minimum. (Not having a dig at you, just saying) besides you would be the most caring thief out there, looking after someone's truck like that.

    Thumbs up

    If done 23000kms and I have an average of 10.9l/100km. Mixed use. Yours will hopefully losen up a bit.

    Been experimenting in Sydney traffic this week and have found the engine has loosened up considerably and can pull 6th gear below 60km/hrs up hills with the tachometer just above 1000 without any noticeable vibration. The fuel gauge has hardly moved. Maybe the puma's don't need much revs. I haven't gone past 1500 on my way to work and back this week!
