Kimbo Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 well I have just clocked up the 1000k and the 1st tank of fuel, remember these figures are NON TOWING and a mixture of highway and city driving and I would expect to get better as the motor wears inUsing BP diesel 956klms used 114 litres tank holds 138 litres as per toyota specsmy calculations are as :114 devided 956 = .1192 x 100 = 11.92 litres per 100k :956 devided 114 = 8.38 klms per litreI hope this is the correct method of working it out I didnt like maths at school :thumbsup: If im incorrect in working this out would appreciate correct methodRegards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 That's spot on Kimbo. I'm shocking at maths too, so I go to this website and it works it all out for me.http://www.hicloneqld.com/fuelcalculator.htmlI put in your figures and it told me "Kimbo is a smarty pants" :laugh: I'll add the link to our KOG links page for future reference for members.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvtripper Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks Kimbo,Sounds like you have a heavy foot - Toyota spec is 10.2/100km :smile: Towing figures will be interesting... Keep your foot off the pedal :smile: I was interested that you specified that you were using BP diesel.I was under the impression that diesel is diesel, or is it a case of "oils aint oils"?Not having owned a diesel before, should I be avoiding an particular diesel brand (like I avoid Woolworths petrol - it makes the V8 ping).Has anyone noticed any problems with any particular brand, or better economy or performance from any particular brand?David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi DavidNo particular reason with brands but I found with the 100 series I use to get better milage from Bp for some reason I prefer to use Shell and caltex as well Mobil I use very rarely as I find that I get less milage per tankHeavy foot dont need one goes fast enough LOL :thumbsup: regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
