The last seven tanks of diesel have given me the following results:1078.7 kms1063.6 kms1010.3 kms1053.3 kms1047.2 kms1022.4 kms1008.8 kmsI think my engine might be run in now. And I've attached my latest fuel docket - almost squeezed 60 litres in. Although reading Alan's thread, maybe I'm not getting this at all? Maybe it's all an illusion and my true fuel economy is 14.3 litres per hundred or something

Maybe it's all an illusion and my true fuel economy is 14.3 litres per hundred or something Not even getting close to that, am getting 6.2 about 850k to the tank, and that is brimming it, 160k a day, 140km on freeway at 110kmh and 20km on free flowing arterial roads at 70kmh. GD Prem auto, I was wondering if the weight is different because of the extra's like the glass roof. the auto does not kick into 6th till over 70kmh, is this "normal"????Cheers
Well, our 4sp auto gives 5.5-5.8 pretty consistantly, so there's still room for improvement with the 6 sp trans I'd say.
How many k's on board marty62
Sort of on topic. In hilly Tasmania I am getting 5.3 l/100km averaging 130km a day and 70km/h.
5k on the clock. I might reset and see how it goes
When driving down to Tassie from Queensland I was getting 4.9 doing 100km/h, and when I changed to 110km/h it went up to 5.3. Drag increases exponentially with speed.

That's me on the right.
