Can someone double check these for me as I did a highway run tonight, give me your results in L/100k
131.5 klm travelled, fuel used 12.66 litres. Took a run up to the highlands to pick up some side steps.

Mine is similar but takes one step less for same result.

Litres divided by kms X 100.
so
12.66 divided by 131.5 X 100 = 9.63 (lt/100km)

Cheers,

Mark.

litres / (km/100)

so

12.66 / (131.5 / 100) =9.6

Is quicker cause the part in brackets is easy; just move decimal point 2 places. Then you divide 12.66 by 1.31, which you can do in your head. Much easier than dividing 12.66 by 131.5.....

Much easier to do on the run ;-)

9.62lt/100km

10.38km/lt which is about 28mpg. Pretty good in any language for a Patrol (unless it's a 3lt then that's normal I think)

Hi again Uncle, very impessive, the photos look like you were running 33in tyers, which would have put your speedo out. Don't change your driving habits.

Uncle

Works out to 9.63 ltrs/100 kms. Over such a short run you will not get accurate results. Keep a log and you will get an accurate result

Some people state their fuel usage in kms/ltr. The recognised method is ltrs/100kms and by using an unrecognised method it only confuses the issue.

I agree Tjilpi. Over a short run, a difference of 1 litre when filling up could mean a 9.63l/100km economy or a 10.38l/100km (which is still great). Comes down to the couple of litres you can fit in the filler neck of the tank or the different sensitivities of the fuel stop mechanisms of pumps.
