What is your fuel consumption and wheels configuration?

Re: What is your fuel consumption and wheels configuration?

so what do i do? send it in now for servicing and inspection? it should be still under warranty...

can i confirm that u r basing ur fuel consumption based on the trip computer? it becomes inaccurate from time to time. like when u r caught in traffic.

like i said best way is to divide total distance travelled by 63L. all 3 series fuel tank capacity is 63L. and see what kinda readings u get.

if still the same, send back for inspection. but i doubt anything is wrong.

well the trip computer says 18L per 100km......but i also topup 20bucks yesterday (98) and i think i travelled like 60km only past 2 days

20 bucks gets approx 11L of 98? so thats approx 5.45 km to the L.

will the system pick up any serious flaws in the engine.....fuel leaks etc?

I will topup full tank tomorrow and see how long that lasts me and recalculate again....
