Thread: D4 Fuel Tank Capacity

I have got an average since new 11.04litres/100km and have now done 125000km. I do not drive for economy.

Except for the beach driving anomaly of between 20-40l/100 mine usually sits around low 9 - and I drive it like a sports car - I'm very impressed - my bmw was well above 14 same driving style

The 40l/100 came from trying to get that RRS unstuck!!!

60,000km in 2 years. I get between 10-11l/100km generally, rising to 15-18l/100km when towing a 2T boat.

Mine is usually between 9 and 10 L 100km.MOST of my driving is 110kmh on cruise.
If you are on 80 or 90kmh roads and light traffic the numbers tumble.80kmh in 8th is 1200rpm,and they will lug up hills like that too

My reading from my phone app rather than the car and so should be accurate are:

Kms :16667
Time : 2 years 5 months
Avg L/100 : 12.810
Min L/100 : 6.735
Max L/100 : 16.667

I would drive 98% short Sydney suburban trips less than 10kms and a lot of those would be around 5km trips. So, I would be a relatively worst case scenario. My previous car, a Pajero used to use plus 20 L/100.

I'm quite happy with the economy given my usage.

Mine did 9.6l/100 on a 600k trip last weekend.I worked this out myself,readout was at 8.9l/100.Just lightly loaded,lots of hills.

Around town it generally gets 11 to 12.5l/100.

The best i have had is 9.2l/100,empty,just the driver,and the dog, on a 600k trip,not actually driving for economy,a fair bit of high speed overtaking (mainly toyotas)which was surprising.

I find on a run in a hilly area,if i sit at 105 to 110km/hr,it climbs over the hills easy,but if i hit them at around 95 to 100km/hr,it hangs in the higher gear and struggles,unless you give the loud pedal a good push.

On the run home down around hook point near high tide we were probably up 45+l/ 100 - sand was softer than anything on the eastern side - that's what 3000rpm in low range leaving 10" deep tracks gets you - lucky it was only a couple of k's
