    TD5 fuel consumption

    Have a look at this ebay listing I can't believe the fuel consumption this guy is quoting I can't get my disco anywhere near this figure????
    Is this a load of BS or do other people get this figure out of their discos.

    I think 740 out of a tank for city driving might be a bit of BS. I use to get 650 city driving, but since I added ARB bar, lights, winch, areial and so on I am lucky if I get 550 out of a tank for city driving.

    I dont have a problem with that...

    If I drive nice I get that out of big red and I'm thinking that shes carrying more than your disco would be mind you Im on the fuel light when I get there but its still going under its own power.

    That's only about 23/24 miles per gallon (12.5 l/hundred k's) We get better than this out of the Defender, and 9 to 10l/hundred on long drives.(28.5/30mpg)

    But then, we are not speed demons either.

    dont like this"out of a tank of fuel" way of working out fuel consumption....it"s not real accurate....especially if you are using it to sell somethig

    have put 95 litres in mine to fill it brim full once

    generally mine an auto gets around 11-11.5/100ks around town& have got best of 8.8/100k on a long run sitting at around 90-95klks.generally on a run even loaded but with no roof rack i can get 9.5l/100k going at around 100-110klks

    mines pretty light being a 5 seater(2 seater on big trips-i take out the rear seat)

    cheers

    We get 10.5l/100k too and from work and 14 to 15l/100k loaded with the camper on.

    770k is the best we have got before i have refilled, that was our 10.5l/100k with 81ltrs used.

    With a Disco, you'll get about an extra 10 litres in if you 'dribble' after initial cutout.

    The only way to calculate accurate fuel consumption is to fill to the same level each time or do your calculation over about 10 tankfulls - that way the irregularity in refilling becomes less of a factor in the calc.

    I record every fill and calculate consumption for each fill and also an overall consumption since purchase.

    IMHO anything better than 11 l/100kms overall from a Td5 is pretty good. Make that figure 10 l/100kms for a Tdi.
