Re: fuel economy
Hi All, could people also add whether vehicle is manual or auto transmission.
The manual tank is smaller (60 litres?) vs auto 2 tanks (total 75 litre?), so need to add that into the formula also. When we have convoyed, the 2 manuals ran at 3500 rpm on the highway at about 85 kph, vs 2500 rpm for 3 autos. No one was black smoking, all owners were happy with the running of their vehicles (as we were planning an all day off road convoy). Yes, the manuals carried spare fuel tank on forestry road so we all had same range before refill. So, wondering if the higher rpm use more fuel.
Must admit I don't keep track of my mileage anymore, did when I first got the deli, 485 city, 550 highway mix, to first blink of yellow light when going around the bend.
Cheers, Christine.
