Post ONLY Your Fuel Economy Figures

[brad]

. The diesel has 350nm of torque where as the Petrol only has 280nm. That torque split makes a big difference to loaded up acceleration and cruising, .

I know I've cheated but my petrol engine has up near 350Nm of torque now.

BUT.... there is a definate fuel economy hit when the kids are in the back (and they only weigh 70kg combined).

When I bought mine (mid-200, diesel was significantly dearer than PULP. Daily running costs based on the factory fuel figures were near equal <$1 difference.

I also looked at using public transport - abot $1 a day more expensive to take the train & 2 hours more travel time.

Trip to Canberra with 2 mtbs on roof racks, 2 adults, luggage and biking bear for the 2 adults, averaged about 8.9 l/100km for the highway segments - closer to 10 for the weekend overall - given the heat over the WE airconditioner was earning its keep - car had 1540 km on the clock when i got home so i can now start exploring the cars potential

To stay sort of on topic. I downloaded an iPhobe App called Accufuel (cost all of $1.20 or so) which seems to have a nice interface for keeping fuel consumption records and it even shows L/100 Km if you want.

Road Trip Lite does a similar job and is free.

Sorry, off topic post.
