At least the fuel consumption readout is consistently inaccurate!

Hahaha yeah, just so you guys know those fuel consumption read outs are CALCULATIONS ONLY. The car cannot 100% read the exact amount of fuel you are using. It is only there as a guide and should never be taken as fact.

Other manufacturers can get read out accurately so no reason LR can't do it right. It can be fixed using the right diagnostic equipment, so it's just LR choosing to give false readouts.

Brett...

Adjusting my D4's fuel consumption fudge factor from its original optomistic +7% to a pessimistic -4% has made the calculation pretty much spot on for my driving.

strange LR can't seem to get it sorted

One of my brother's has a Honda something? which is about 4yrs old & it is almost spot on,that is average for a tank & calculating the figure from fuel used & k's driven.

My other brother has a turbo XR6,it's dash readout for fuel usage is also much more accurate than the D4.

And the other brother has a Prado,it's way more accurate as well

I can use a full tank on a long run,and it will say 9.2,where calculation gives 10.5.And this has been done many times.

Oh,and as Graeme says,bet after the 'fix',mine is still inaccurate.

My bug is what is the point in having something if it doesn't work correctly?

And on a vehicle worth $90k onwards..................

As those above have so eloquently pointed out - you are talking rubbish :P All fuel usage is a CALCULATION.... Injector flow rate, Fuel pressure, Milliseconds of injection... Once these are known it is easily calculated... Take some unsolicited advice - You unofficially represent your employer marque here and yet provide some unique and often misrepresented information to the masses of a public forum. Keep learning and best of luck....

From what I have been told they are calculations. I'm going to sick by that, but feel free to have your own opinion.
