Hi brains trust,

Anyone else running an UltraGauge in a Puma Defender? If yes, what is your fuel calibration factor?

My 2.2 looks to be reading about 4x high on UltraGauge fuel consumption with a 1.0 factor (uncalibrated). Yes I know I need to run the calibration for it to read correctly but it did seem odd for it to be that far out.

Real world unloaded I look to be getting 800km per tank basically all city cycle which, seems to be about right based on the manufacturer specs unless someone else reckons I drive with a little too much right foot :angel:

Thanks in advance
FWD

Last time I calibrated mine, I recall it was 0.371

For the record mine looks to be around 0.33 or there about...

Can't remember, but a few cal rounds gets it pretty much on the nose anyway.

Forgot to mention my best fuel consumption figures so far are 73km at 7.5l/km.

Yes it was downhill most of the way (blue mountains from Bilpin to the eastern end of the M4), but angel gear wasn't used at all due to traffic.
