fuel consumption

Has any one got any idea about fuel consumption of the 3 litre turbo diesel 4x4 auto,ive been told so many different figures,and whats the tank capacity,thanks.

Depends on usage, but i'm probably getting late twentys to 30mpg. Cross section of motorway and suburban. Do notice that if you tow it on the motorway then consumption drops. You'll be lucky to see 500km out a tank, i average just over 450, so just over 300 mile...

don;t be fooled when you've done 100km on one bar of the gauge, it drops like a stone from halfway...

The guy i got it off says it wont do more than 12 - 15 mpg,hope hes wrong or been a bit heavy with his right foot.

Heavy right foot, full of bags of sand or maybe needs tuning !

seems to run realy sweet so will have to keep an eye on it,thanks.

tank holds 70ltr

Last tank was 460ks Before fuel light came on so that's about 60L maybe?
Not sure havn't filled up yet.
That's pretty good for mine but I filled up at Jyndabine and my cousin says they run a higher octane Deisel down there than home??? (Wollongong).
Don't know why?
It's either got to do with the colder weather/Snow or the yuppies only want the best for their Lexus/BMW/Cherokee's etc.

Update...I ended up getting 505ks out of that tank before filling up with 7L to spare!
Should of kept driving!!!

Haha yeah you had heaps left man!
I ran out on the way to Canberra about 5k out, had to do the bolt down the highway with a jerry, did get 535k out of her though.

Did that with the work truck trying to hit the $100 mark on fill up...
Before the prices shot through the roof... I smash that without trying now!!!

I've noticed that too, as a matter of fact, Yesterday my tank gauge went from Full, to 1/2, to 3/4, to full, to 3/4 all in about 30 km

Here I was congratulating myself on buying a vehicle with a self-filling tank

I think the most I've got was approx 450km on a tank, but I was driving from Warrnambool to Mildura via the Grampians, so the hill climbs would have affected consumption

fuel gauge lottery. love it :-)
