Well I was 20 km outside Tarago (East side) when the fuel light came on. Drove to Goulburn, then down to Yass, before filling up. (Caltex on the main highway)Roughly 140km with the light on. (About 60km with the - - - flashing)It's all good. :?
Got a question if any one can help, the --- flashing? sometimes mine flashes the lines and other times they stay solid and the little pic of a fuel pump flashes instead. Cant seem to find a reason why they seem to randomly pic one or the other to flash?
First tank, light came on at 985 kms, filled at 1007 kms. It was way above empty when light came one.Took 44 litres to first click (if this is where the dealership filled to then its 4.37 l/100 km).Slowly kept going another few minutes, managed to get 48 litres in. In the unlikely event that the dealer filled it that full, its 4.77 l/100 kms.I was told to go at all different speeds to run it in, so did more city driving than normal, also did some in fourth gear at over 100 kms hour. Some deliberately, and a few times it was so quiet I forgot to change! I will usually get better than this, especially once its run in.I think over 1400 kms is possible once its run in, if my tank is as big as the one that gets over 60 lites in!
Latest fill (After traveling down the coast, driving down then up the Brown Mountain. Driving at the posted speed limit 100km/h AND overtaking trucks, plus being stuck in a snow storm with -1 degree temps)1,100km travelled.46.48lt put in, to the neck.4.22lt/100km actual economy.4.4lt/100km indicated on trip computer.Cost of fuel $77.58Cost per 100km $7.05This is real world conditions, driving at proper highway speeds, driving up and down hills, with three people and luggage. 4lt/100km is world record material? 8-) Picture from the phone of me stuck in snow (The road had black ice on it, had to drive on the snow on the side of the road to get traction up the slight hill)
Well I rekon I'm in the running for WORST economy:6.9 l/100 averaged over the last 6000kms Grrr
Well I rekon I'm in the running for WORST economy:6.9 l/100 averaged over the last 6000kms Which makes me think something may not be quite right (I've only got 1000km's up on mine too!)Cam
Just filled up, 60.44lt *Picks self up off the ground*Ok, didn't know my tank was that big. (And yes, no matter what servo I go to, it's always around 56lt-60lt to fill)1360km traveled60.44lt4.44lt/100 km(Trip computer shows 4.7lt/100km)I guess the motor is freeing up a bit more (17,000km on it now)
