Re: Re:
Andyp - I used to do that style of driving and then after a couple of months the PDF light came on so I changed my style back to shifting at a higher RPM. I must admit though, when I was shifting at a low RPM there wasn't too much highway driving so I cant confirm if it was the style of driving or not enough highway driving. Just to make things clear, this was done way before my surging issues - see here
Mark - I have to agree with you, I wish the dealer would explain things in more detail instead of trying to put you on your way

Re:
Think of it this way, if your speedo is out your actually using less diesel than you think.

Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption
Tony, I'm going to have to disagree with you... but hey, my maths might be wrong... (funnily enough, this exact topic was being discussed tonight at the pizza place with some mates).
Here's my reasoning:
if you're speedo is 5% out... when driving +for 60 minutes at 100km/h you are actually travelling 95km/h.
Therefore in 60 minutes, you've only covered 95kms.
If your car is reporting fuel consumption of 7l/100km over that stretch, the car doesn't realise it has only travelled 95kms in 60 minutes.
The 'real' world consumption would be 7 / 95 x 100 = 7.36l/100km
So in essence, EVERY ADR compliant vehicle is actually under reporting fuel consumption.
* is my maths right?

Re:
You could be, but the car will be telling you that you are using 7.0 litres whilst your doing 95.
You really have to do the 5 litres of fuel at 95 then run it dry, do the same 5 litres at 100 to know for sure.
Who's going to do that though?
Awwwwww my head hurts.
