Puma 90 fuel consumption figures

Filled up today, had roughly 360kms on the clock since last fill, took 36L. So back to 10L/100! the fuel filter doesn't seem to be leaking anymore. Maybe I just had a couple tanks of not so good fuel, mixed with roof bars etc. dragging me down to the 14L/100.... who knows. I will keep an eye on it though.

Nice work! Is that still with the roof bars on?

I've taken off the front most one, still got 2 at the back though.

It is amazing what a lack of open-road driving will do to the Puma's consumption.

When I lived in Gordon's Bay, I had a 25km commute to work which included 15km of open road driving @ 100kmh. My fuel consumption was around 9.1-9.5L/100km.

After I moved to Stellenbosch, my commute is now 7km of town driving, so the landy barely even gets up to operating temp. My fuel consumption is now 11.5L/100km

I do a minimum of 25km highway commute everyday for work, that's EACH way.... so probably 90% of my driving is highway work. You can feel when they get warmed up they like to go better.
