mpg

[soramad]

not that it bothers me unduely, i would'nt have bought the machine if it did, but i did a mpg check on a tank full of fuel and over 3/4 tank which appeared to equate to 47.61 ltrs(thats what i put back in to top it up) i had travelled 400 miles ,which if i have worked it out right is 8.4 miles to 1 litre of diesel (10 gallons) which means i'm getting 40 mpg, am well pleased with that on a 3ltr turbo intercooled engine .probably do better if i did'nt have such a heavy right foot i wonder if the injecter cleaner i put in helped?

I have to ask, are you sure you about those miles ?

A lot of surfs still record distance in kilometres, and 40mpg does seem amazing

ah never thought of that . good point 400 km's = 248.55 miles which now equates to 24.85 miles per gallon which is about the average that my 4 ltr soarer gives .but then again the surf is lugging a lot of kit about.
i suppose i can prove it one way or the other by travelling a known distance route.

Thats realistic fella, 25 mpg. 40 mpg is pretty much impossible.

chuck some veg oil in mate , it eases the pain at the pumps.

god may forgive me for keeping this thread going........girls may not.

18mpg 19mpg 20mpg depending on mood. Drive like a girl and you don't even need disc brakes.

22mpg has been best. 16mpg is 3.0 fun time. Better than the V8 in any mood.

Have a leaky turbo to exhaust manifold? may make a difference.........in my dreams.

Main issue at the minute is how to keep the exahust fumes from being sucked in through the rear window I will search a remedy

have the end of your exhaust turned at a right angle to come out behind the rear wheel that will probably help.

It's SO tempting to mention the blindingly obvious - close the window

Not trying to change the subject of this thread but if you use say 40% veg oil does it make the truck any slower or not do as many mpg mile for mile ?? Or does it block your fuel pump or filter up ??

[internetsurfer]

no power loss at all , mpg is slighty less due to calories so im informed.

I was thinking that or getting a stainless in the future. (Ah back to the future again).

Yeah but no but yeah I want it open now and then.

Just won a stainless 45deg bend exhaust tip on ebay for 1p. As the exhaust is already curved slightly sideways this tip should extend and chuck the muck out even further away.
