:eek: Yup was looking at the wrong column in the spreadsheet [bigwhistle]
Correct L/100K are average 11.87, best 10.4, still happy with those figures travelling mainly at around 110 kph.

That looks more like it. I did 10.5L/100km last tank in my 130. That was mostly 80km/h town driving in/around Darwin though.
At 110km/h it was doing about 11.5L/100km, with half a load on and aircon.
Thats running the 150AB tune with the big intercooler. And bloody hell it gets along when you want it to.
Just out of curiosity - Are you guys correcting for speedo error if using stock tyres? The 235/85 tyres make for close to 5% more ambitious on kilometers travelled. (I.e. Odo says you did 105km but reality 100)
I made adjustments when on 235/85 tyres. And removed the adjustment when I fitted 255/35 as this tyre size brings odo closer to real.
I'm on 7.50R16 tyres. Havent made any adjustments for odometer inaccuracy.
Another question is, do you have a roof rack? Seems it makes a bigger difference than I thought. I'd be interested to know if these figures of 12l/100km at 110km/hr with BAS remap, are with or without a roof rack? Cheers
No roof rack. But i do have a bullbar and steel tray. Tare weight around 2250kg.
On that particular trip when I was getting those figures, I was carrying about 600kg on the back plus my old man as passenger. So it would have been close to the 3 ton mark.
Engine is also still a bit tight as it had only about 8000km on it at the time.
So my numbers look like this:
For the year before I fitted tyres or tune:
Averaged 12.5l/100km - corrected for tyre size (or 11.91 uncorrected)
For the one month after fitting 170AB tune and big intercooler (before fitting larger tyres):
Averaged 13.28l/100km - corrected for tyre size. (or 12.57 uncorrected)
The higher consumption evidence of my enthusiastic "testing"!
For the last 2mths (nearly) since fitting the larger tyres:
Averaging 12.02 - correct for tyre size (or 11.45 adjusted for comparison)
This reduction is more reflecting me lightening up on the loud pedal to preserve the new larger MT tyres. A little lower than the year ago corrected figures but I cannot say the tune has conclusively delivered me better fuel economy yet. It's early days still and too many moving variables (tyres and driving styles) since the tune was fitted. Let's see what the trend is in the next 3mths
If I had a B.A.S. Remap, I would not be caring less about economy,....I'd be looking at what happened, when I put "the pedal to the metal".
Pickles.
