Fuel consumption

I have just covered 100miles and my surf has used half a tank and mainly cruising at 65-70mph, surely this can't be rite is it ?

Anything between 20/25mpg is considered normal! some get slightly more some get less i get roughly 250/300 miles per tank depending on the roads, i mainly use "B" roads with very little use on anything else.

Sit at no more than 60 for best fuel consumption, I've done liverpool and back home on a tank 320 miles or so, going either slow around town or over 60 on a dueller eats the juice, steady away at 55-60 is boring but best mpg. H

Can I just confirm wether the odometer reads in km or miles?
I always thought it was km on the surfs even with the speedo converted?

it does read in kms but i worked it out in mph and miles as thats what i understand.

can you use veg oil then ? maybe mix half a tank with diesel ? or do you need to do something first for this to work ?

If you want to spend a weekend reading about veg oil look at the main forum page..

If not just put it in...smells great.

I used it for a few weeks when it was under a quid a litre, truck run great on it just didn't like starting, that was at 50/50, oil in my local asda is as dear as diesel now so don't bother. H
