Green,
being a new deli owner, i just want to know how accurate my gauge is, and plan for fuel stops.
until yesterday, i had no real clue as to how many Kms my deli would get on a tank.

and besides, i wanted to see if my fuel light worked! :-P lol

No two gauges will read the same.

My first L300 at 1/4 tank left was reading 1/2 left on the gauge.

My 2nd L300 at 1/4 tank left had the little yellow light on.

The best way to accurately measure your mpg is with a GPS.

Also factor in we are into winter diesel already. Your average mpg will be less compared to summer diesel mpg.
