103TDI Range display

**Frankenstrat** · 23-02-2010, 10:15 AM

I filled up the fuel tank on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised to see my MFD informing me I have a range of 1030km. Nice!

Last night driving home from work (round trip approx 100km) it read 1040km.

This morning pulling into the carpark at work it read 1060km.

I filled up at BP Manning where, according to BP's web site, they have BP Ultimate Diesel. At this rate I may never have to fill up again!

Be aware that according to BP's website there are supply issues with Ultimate Diesel... Even though the bowser may say you're getting Ultimate in actual fact you're only getting regular BP Diesel...

Hoi Polloi, that press release is dated 02 December 2009. Surely the situation has change by now? We deal with BP Refinery Kwinana, I'll see if I can get an update through my contacts.

Yeah, I hope so as well even though Ultimate Diesel is not available in NSW (why is that?)... Just stumbled across that when researching other diesel related stuff on the web - didn't check the date... I just assumed BP would keep their site up to date..

The display range after refueling really depends on what your average fuel use is just prior to filling up.

I filled up in Perth on Sunday and the bowser at my local BP (Karrinyup) still had the warning that the ultimate diesel was unavailable...

All the BP's around Brisbane have the same signage up.

There was another issue for months around mid year as well with the supply.
