silly question

[unsteadm]

Ok sorry for probably a really silly question but i notice alot of people talkkng about how much diesel there d22 is using per 100klm.
How can i tell what im getting per 100klm?
I dont have anything on the dash of my 2010 d22 that tells me what im getting.

Fill your tank to full and reset your trip metre to 0 then u can see how much diesel you roughly use when it gets to 100ks. That's the only way other than having a groovy gauge installed. I've got a 2010 too

Thanks for reply. I do that but was just curious because people are saying they are using 9.3 litres per 100km just wondering how they get that exact figure

 

[navtruckchic]

My bad, sorry! Ye u can buy these gauges that tell u the exact amount

Oh ok. That makes sense. I know on my past 4wd's its had it on the dash. Thanks heaps

Assuming you have standard tyres and standard fuel tank. A full tank of fuel is 75L, so if you get 670km before you have to fill up, and when you fill up the tank takes 65L then you can divide 65 by 670 then multiply by 100, or just divide 65 by 6.7 and you can get your L per 100km

That's a bit clever shorty!

Thanks shorty that also makes sense.

Or you could download 1 of the many free apps for your phone, then fill up clear the trip drive around for a bit fill up again and put the numbers into the app it will give you an exact answer.

here is a easy way fill your tank to the top drive 500kms refill to tha same spot record ya kms travelled and ltrs used on tha pump then use this calculator http://www.accommodationz.co.nz/economycalculator.html

The apps make it easy. The most reliable method is to do it after a fill and rely on your trip meter as advised above.

I've never understood the fascination of L per 100km. Coming from bikes I want to know how many Km's per L so I know how far I can stretch a tank out before I'm pushing the thing to the next servo!

But if you have an android phone I'd recommend an app called Fuellog. You can setup multiple vehicles in it and choose how you want the info displayed. Km/L or L/100km etc. It also tracks costs if you can be bothered entering all the info.
