Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption

With my 16 x 7 AT BFG's on, stop start driving blows the consumption out to 9+; once rolling it drops back to 7.2.
Will put the OEM 17"s on and verify the difference.
Put the original 17' with the Dunlops on and did a 1,200km round trip at an avg cruising speed of 116km/hr - consumption was steady for six hours at 8.0l/100 with an outside temp of 42C for five hours!

Re: T31 Diesel Fuel Consumption
Hi all,
Just to give you some comparison figures:
I have a T30 with 2.2 CDi and six-speed manual (would you want an auto on the dirt??).
It averages 8.3 lt/100 km, that os combined suburban-state road-motorrway driving. On the motorways I generally go at 140 clicks. When in Germany, up to 180 clicks.
I must add that I use cruise-control all the time when possible, even when not on motorways. Keeps the consumption down and speeding tickets out off my mailbox.
The average is obviously out off the window when I tear out off the blocks like Lewis Hamilton (yes, you can easily burn rubber, it's a very lively engine). However, easy does it, it's better on the wallet......
The T31 dC being only 2 litres and more advanced (Renault certainly have a track record for excellent engines) all of you T31 dC owners should be doing better! If not, go easier on the throttle..., saves money and the environment.
How goes that old native indian saying:
'Nature is not a gift from our parents, we have it on loan from our children'
