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: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption


I just got back from a 100km drive down the coast no highway mostly hilly winding roads my cars on 6.1L per 100 now .... If i do alot of heavy foot city driving it will go up to around 7.4L .

Im super impressed with the fuel consumption in mine .

Got a Scangauge 2 hooked up in her yesterday wow they pull some big boost ! 22.4 psi when i mash the pedal through the floor that is LOL emoticon

Im used to the old F6 turbo ute i had which only ran 8psi but needless to say it hauled ass still.

Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption


The speedo on my exy is 5kph slow (indicates 100kph when the GPS is 95) so I asume the l/100 is out also.
I also notice that if I reset it when driving it settles down to a different number.

@robandpatsexy: Be careful about believing that the GPS speed is the correct speed. The inlaws received two speeding fines that way with their T31.

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.

Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption


Hi all,

Have had my T31 TS for about four and a half months now and am loving it. Regarding fuel consumption, I have to say that I am seriously unimpressed with the computer but overall quite impressed with the consumption given the car has the aerodynamics of a brick. Just did Sydney - Melbourne - Sydney with some driving around Melbourne and a run down t Cape Shanck and over about 2250km the car averaged 6.97 l/100km (14.35km/l) which isn't bad but the computer thinks it did 6.10l/100km (16.38km/l) which is a massive difference and equates to over 300km more than I actually did.

Have to say that I'm also a little disappointed with the gear rations - 6th needs to be a little longer so as to be able to run at lower revs around 110kph.

Please don't take my criticism as even the slightest sign that I dislike my car, I'm loving it, I would just like the trip computer to be a little more accurate (other cars I've had wee far closer to reality).
