Kwasaki Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Anyone watch their fuel kilos to the litre, at all. Where I have been trotting around lately there's lots of speed cameras, so bored just been noticing highs & lows & averages of the truck. Gauge readouts 21high, 16.5 average, 11.4 low. Speed on highway steady at 90 - 100 in 6th and changing gears as soon as dash readout signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 My 3.0 Mu-X (4x4) sips along averaging between 12 and 13 km/L. I don't have a light right foot (reference the number of photos of my car I keep getting in the post). I do the same commute pretty well every day but there seems no rhyme or reason what the average comes out at each week, I use roughly a 55L tank a week (tank is 65L, I don't like taking risks).

faraday Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hmm...I seem to average 10.7, although I've only been checking over the last week. Mostly it's short trips into town, BigC/Tops etc, so p'raps that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Vigo 3.0 use to be about same yours but I didn't have a dash readout like in the now Isuzu truck and it only 1.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Around town almost dead on 10 kpl......Goes up around 12+ on a road trip fully loaded (seems we never go unladen)..... If I go 620 k it's 62 liters just about bang on.....Tank holds about 70..... If parked & waiting for somebody I usually run the engine/AC.... I tend to drive fast..... Toyota Hilux..... Our old 4x4 = about 8.5 - it sits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredob43 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 My last Toyo Spivo with a 3lt engine and a 4 speed auto box, used to do around 12/13lt to 100km if I was lucky. A lot less if I put my foot down. Now what with the speed cameras I tend to keep the new 2.8 spivo (that has a 6 speed auto box) at speeds around 110kph on a run. That is returning 6.2lt to 100km on runs. I didn't believe the car comp: so I did a couple of runs starting with a full tank refilling at the end of the run and it worked out much the same. Around town and general driving I get 6.9 to 7.1 depending on traffic. To say that I am please with it's economy is under estimating it. After all it is a tank of a thing.

Crossy Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Just to avoid confusion, PLEASE can we all quote km/L. To convert from L/100km simply divide 100 by your L/100km figure. So 6.9L/100km = 100/6.9= 14.5km/L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that cars here record it like that on their comp: If it's any help my 6.2/100km equates to 16.129 km/LT whatever way you look at it pretty good for a tank.

melvinmelvin Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 probably switchable, units differ between countries, for the same cars, I use lit/10km for cars and lit/hour for boats, with a specified speed/rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokesaat Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 With a bit over 4000km on our 2018 Revo spacecab, manual transmission, pretty much 50/50 city/highway driving, I'm averaging 16.45km/liter or 6.07liter/100km. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze 17km out regularly. I rarely use power mode.......and I'm retired, so I'm in no rush to make a light or go over the speed limit. I drive conservatively, but like to think I'm not interfering with anyone's efforts to go faster them I do. I pretty much love my Revo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be a diesel for that number, no way it could be gasoline. I normally get about 14 km/litre out of a Vios. When it was on CNG, I was paying about 0.6 baht /km. My mechanic persuaded me I was killing the engine with the cylinder head temperatures, so I took the CNG off. Can't say I miss the annual CNG tank inspections.

When the daughters car is not available I drop the tyre pressures right down when having to use the truck empty, otherwise an uncomfortable ride, it is a work truck after all didn't expect car comfort.

mogandave Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 My 3l Isuzu AT got 12-13 pretty consistently, but drove mostly highway. The 2.8 ‘tuna gets 8-9, but mostly in Bangkok traffic, but even on the highway it only gets about 10. Pretty disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where does the 16 + per ltr come from, maybe it's a con dashboard read out. My Isuzu gives a better figure than actual doable kilos per litre or average and through the a calculus of cash and kilos it is not the same.
