offroad??
divide by 2
or is that multiply by 2

G'day Drivesafe,

Really depends on how you drive them...

I tend to be a bit heavy on the right foot.. BUT around Melbourne - constant short trips I get 19 - 20 ltr/100km.

They run really rich when first started ... so if doing a lot of short city work the economy is pretty scary.


I always tell people that ask that it is AMAZING!!.....






.........Amazing how much fuel they can burn

On the highway that drops to 16 if I sit around the 110Km.. but if I sit around 90km/hr I can get that down to low 15's... best I have EVER got was 14.5

Pulling the camper trailer off road ( It weighs around 1 tonne loaded) I sit around 20 Lt/100k.


Hope that helps.

Pedro .. that what you get out of the DII...... or your D1???



How the hell do you get down to 13l/100km???


My right foot is way too big.... but best I have EVER got and I was rapt with it... was 14.5!!...


Mark

in the lean green disco machine

its my ultra-conservative (move yur fat arse!) driving style--- :roll:
a lot of that was on auto pilot( 8O 8) )

though I find cruise control "pulses" continually--

so I think a steady foot may do even better,,

Ahh!... yes... my best figure of 14.5 was about 95% cruise control too....


Still pretty good effort..

I must buy a lighter right boot ops:

I know this depends on your style of driving, but how mant litres to a tank and what would be the average distance from a tank?

1/city
2/hiway

The price of deisel has me think of a change :roll:

G'day NOZ...

I know deieel is more per litre...


but...

My tank is 95 Litres... I usually fill at about 80 - 85 litres.

Around town that gets me 450km.. ops:


Highway ..550 - 600 if I am a good boy..;-(


Strangely.. the 4.6 in the P38a Rangie seems more ecopnomical than the 4.0



But I assume you get a much better range than that for your diesel $$

FYI

Well 85lt's will get me 680km's to 770km's depending on variables and close to 1000km's on a hiway run with no camper.
