Hi.How on earth do you achieve these figures? I just run mine for 5000 km and if I do my very best I get around 20 Km/l, but normally I get around 17-18 Km/l. I mostly do around 90 km/h on highway and 130 on freeway's.But then Again I never top off the tank when I fill it, I think I will do this the NeXT time. Oh it's a 2012 1.6 CRDI/Jakob
Excellent work Alan. I have the 'needle' fuel gauge (FD) I would probably get 100 km with the warning light on, but I am one who keeps his car half full, not so much damage at the bowser @ AU$1.55 for unleaded premium 95 which I use.

I am always intrigued by people who do this. You visit the servo 2x more than necessary and effectively your car has only a 30lt tank, which if true, you would probably complain about.More time driving around with a full tank = more weight & less fuel economy.
Were you an engineer or something?
Then why does LPG with its higher octane rating give less power?
53 litres of petrol weighs 37.68 kg53 litres of diesel weighs 45.05 kg(Density of petrol being 0.711 kg/l. Density of diesel being 0.85 kg/l at normal temperature and pressure)

According to The Danish Transport Authority a rule of thumb says that for every 100 kg you add to the cars weight, you will use around 4 % more fuel.
I get around 5,6 in my 2008 CRDi 5 speed here in the wintertime, and 5,3 in the summer, so I understand you would expect to achieve better figures.
Well, I just filled the tank today. The 5,6 LPH was a bit optimistic... Over the last 730 km the LPH was 6,0 but we have had temperatures below 0ºC since last fill.

We have many places in Australia where that never happens
One of our Taswegian ladies emigrated to your country and is now royalty, can't promise the same for you though.
