FUEL CONSUPTION ON A 3rd GEN TURBO DIESEL

[shumba]

I have recently bought a 3rd gen turbo diesel "96,
I am trying to work the fuel economy out and I was wondering weather any one knows what I should be getting, my problem is I work in km/ ltr, so if anyone knows, please can you let me know what I should be expecting.
Many thanks

divide your litres by 4.5461 to get how many gallons you have used

then divide your kms by 1.6093 to get your distance in miles

then divide mileage by fuel to get your mpg

thats how i do it

I'v been measuring my mpg as well, my 3 litre 2 generation Surf is averaging 22-23 mpg in city driving (stop start conditions). I don't think thats too bad considering her size and weight...

I am getting the same - doing mainly short journeys (<5 miles)

Have had Hippo up to 28, she averaging 25 at present - she does 86 mile a day with around 70 on the M23/M25 motorways.

96N 3rd Gen best I've had was 32mpg on run to Fairford from Doncaster kept Lara Leadfoot out of the drivers side and drove 'sensibly'??? got 25/27 mpg on the work run between Doncaster and Barnsley these figures have taken 3 months to work out the average (I am still stuck with the Manual , I haven't got the Auto yet)

I am getting about 30/33 on my 3rd gen. Up and down the M23 everyday, around town its about 28

I must have lead boots!

23-24 overall, although that does take in a lot of short trips.

Best was 27 on a long slow A road trip, worst was 21 going to Brum and back in a hurry.

I was marshaling at the back of round norfolk scooter run for charity yesturday and was amazed that at spending most of the time between 40 and 50 MPH i averaged 35 MPG in my 2nd gen 3l

[ferret]

I am getting 400 k's when filled to the brim on my kzn185 and am getting 425- 445 freeway driving

[Nemo]

The best I have managed is 673 km's on a tank, over the last six months it has averaged 30 mpg, worst 27mpg & best 33mpg. Maybe I should try harder.

Nimo, do you freewheel downhill or something??
