Re: Diesal consumption

Depends on your driving style... I work out 7km/litre at about 14.3 litres per 100km. Which is a little on the high side but if you are driving in mountains or in the city then it is probably spot on...

If you drive like a saint you could probably get it up to around 9-10km/litre....

But no way you would get 12km per litre... unless you are confusing things as you should be able to get 12 litres per 100km!
