fuel consumption in south oz

[nelds]

Hi all in south oz just wanted to see what fuel consumption everyone is gettin in their triton considering we have the worst diesel in the land.I have a 06 build ML cab chassis with 265/75r16 mickey thompson baja mtz with the EGR blocked,ARB bull bar and my best fuel consumption has been 500km from 64ltrs of diesel =12.8ltrs to the 100

[Greedy]

Jeez, I hope 265's don't ruin my fuel economy. I'm still on stock tyres (not long now) and getting early 10's. Diesel manual.

[nelds]

well that fuel economy is the best i have ever had even with the stock wheels on so shldnt effect yours prob gotta take into account the cab chassis has taller gearing than the dual cab which is ass about face

[nelds]

prob should state mine is a diesel manual with 30k on the clock

[MR T]

well ive got an auto that is stock and has had the new manifold and fuel has gone down from 13.5 to 13 im so glad i got it done looks like ill save heaps of money on fuel now

[sheepo]

hi i average about between 11.5 and 12ltrs per hundred sitting on about 110 by the speedo,if i sit on under a 100 about 10.5 ltrs per 100 kms
towing the jayco flamingo it uses about 14ltrs per 100
cheers peter

Averaging 12.8/100 for the last 3 months with a fully loaded dual cab and ladders on the roof racks. was getting low 10's when empty. utes done 60,000k and runs cooper st's. fuel consumption was in the high 8's to low 9's when running dueler at's 694. have driven in other states and haven't noticed difference in diesel. it all comes out of the same wells and refineries anyway.

Sorry bout the fuel thing tex

I have a manual diesel glx with bar canopy with racks and 265 tyres and I get around the early 10's but I have a big trip planned at the end of the month so that should give me a good guage. I have always had early 10s but never the 9.1 they claim.

7.9L/100km last tank, city driving but without the nudge bar it would be a bit better.

[boycee]

nice and easy wins the race.

Just did a long run in 09 ML DiD auto, stock standard, I've touched nuffin, 700 ks on 60 litres near enough, I'm happy enough with that.

[liamb]

with out Chipit I was getting 10.3/100Km pretty much dead stock. worse on freeway down to 10 ariund city.
With Chipit 9.2 freeway and 9.0-8.9 city. all figures calculated and with scangauge not car computer.

That sucks, why is it that everything I do to my truck the fuel consumption goes up.

Liamb I am jealous, very jealous.

[Tony]

Now I have a few k's on my 2.5hp so have done a few test.

Towing a double horse float in some hills + flat going returns low 12s. On a trip tp Sydney with combined city highway and driven very hard returns 10s. With 32" Tyres, Arb bar and a high roof canopy I'm happy with these figures Lot better than my Range Rovers mid 14s to low 20s
My old MJ used to do around 12 to 14 but was intercooled and fueled up.

[snowman]

the good figures are all manual Daryn. note GLX-R has the tyres, bar etc

our autos have way too much slip..........

[liamb]

Is this poor fuel quality why my Triton is detonation all the time???? at any throttle increase bar flat to the floor my engine is pinging. I am starting to worry I am doing damage cause it is all the time with or with out the chipit ecu.

Best I have obtained in my MN Auto on the indash screen so far was 11.8L/100km straight down the highway on cruise control at 100-110km/h and no air con. It only has 500km on it so far, does consumption improve after 1500 service? (ie. overfueling for run in?)

[dbigrig]

Are all your figures from the truck computer or manually calculated? The reason I ask my computer tells me I`m getting 12.2lt/100km but working out manually from litres filled to km`s per tank I am actually getting 11.03lt/100km`s. I have an 08 glxr manual 3.2lt with the factory tyres, 34thou K`s, only use BP.

I have no car puter etc as have the MMCS. I just drive it like I stole it and work it out at the pump Getting a scanguage soon though.

Just a heads up for anyone near Salisbury, the new Woolworths/Caltex at Mawsons Lakes has the Caltex Vortex Diesel only and for the same price as standard diesel minus the 4cents discount on top!! Filled up today and will see how it goes. At this stage I believe the motor sounds quieter anyhow!
