So Mick Jagger is to blame? No wonder I can't get no satisfaction!
I would regularly get consumption figures like that from my 2006 model D40. Fuel doctor may be worth trying. So thanks.
Thanks. Good questions. Have not seen black smoke. Will check drum heat. Don't know about intercooler. Vehicle is auto with 80k on clock so doubt it has been cleaned. Brakes aren't great. Do require a push. Don't know about EGR. Model year 2012.
Thanks Kevin. This vehicle has LT 265/75 so thanks for confirming that could be a factor. I have a new set of standard tyres on my older D40 which I could swap to test if that's a factor.
Yes, diesel, Tony. I have a 4.5 tonne bus that gives better figures! No sign of DPF blockage so I'm not sure where to start. I am using the lightest foot possible to keep the revs down on the highway and as I'm rural and living on the edge of the highway almost all driving is on the open road.
Just get used to it? 15.5 l/100 km. Pretty hard for a pensioner to get used to that. I'm looking for ways to improve that not make it worse. Have you done anything that has made a positive difference?
Actually, checked again tonight. The difference is 5 kph at 100 kph.Not sure we can compare fuel consumption between a 4 cylinder and a V6 though or can we?
