1HZ fuel consumption.

I was a bit bored the other day at work and have always thought I would get the fuel consumption for my old and faithful underground ute that is starting to show her age.

Have always refilled at about 130k on the speedo with either the 1HZ or the V8 utes, most of the time the fuel gauges don't work or are inaccurate due to the amount of vibration or corrosion.

If we are filling a large machine we radio through the amount but with utes we just fill them at the underground fuel bay and never take the amount used.

Well I know old petal is getting a bit long in the tooth but the amount of fuel floored me, she comes in somewhere between an roadtrain and a b double in the fuel usage stakes.

Here are the figures. 130k and 84 litres or about 1.55 kilometres to the litre and 64 litres per 100k.

I think I will need to have my right foot removed with these consumption figures. In the next couple of weeks I must grab a V8 at test it's figures.
