    First tank of gas in the Diesel

    I’ve moved from a 2011 D4V8 to a 2016 TDV6 and boy am I loving the mileage!

    Was averaging 300kms to a tank of 95 octane in the V8 averaging 16-17 L/100 .. just refilled the TD at 657kms averaging 8.4L/100

    I’m definitely gonna like this!

    You certainly will see the difference but don't be fooled by the numbers you're getting off the dash, if that's where they are from. Do the calcs manually to get the real fuel usage. You'll still be pleased though.

    Mine does just shy of 10l/100 km around town which is excellent for such a heavy vehicle.

    And it’s nearly impossible to get 80L in at one fill. Typically you get up to 74L maximum after the gauge registers empty and maybe you’ll get 76L if willing to run on an empty gauge for awhile. A few litres are retained in the calculated remainder to avoid running completely empty. The 657km range does sound about right for city driving at an economy of around 11.3L/100km.

    Didn’t say I used 80 liters, don’t think anyone can get 80 litres oit of a D4 tank can they? I filled up right st the warning light and it took approx 64L
