That's 14L/100km bennoz, so not too bad for what you're running under the bonnet.Bennoz wrote:That's 100% country driving thoughrock_it wrote:That is more than I get in the Evo..Bennoz wrote:As predicted, I was running on fumes by Golburn, 410 kays to the tank
I love having a diesel. Averaging 9L/100km at 105km/h. 2.5L 4cyl pushing 2T of lifted, aerodynamic-as-a-brick truck through the air.

I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

Re: fuel consumption
We've used two thirds of a tank, and about ~500Kms driven, does that seem right for a stock GPX?

Re: fuel consumption

The Mirage tank is only 50L. But seems to be doing ok compared to everyone else. Running the Mirage O2 sensor too

Might be a weight thing too...

Re: fuel consumption
So true! There is only one tank!!! Why do people always think they have something special? Its either you are filling past the first click or ya got ripped off.Astron_Boy wrote:Same tank all models/ years.
I know from my car juddering from a lack of fuel to the first click was 56-58 litres I cannot remember.
