just did a 1300km trip from the Gold Coast to Injune and back.
came up with these figures.
Gold Coast-Roma.
fuel from BP Coomera, Gold Coast. (Caltex 127.9c lt)
485km for 56.46lt @ 129.9c =8.56km per ltr (11.68lt/100km)
Compared to
Roma-Gold Coast.
fuel from Caltex, Roma. (BP 131.9c lt)
510km for 68.04lt @ 128.9c=7.49km per ltr (13.35lt/100km)
this was the figures for an 08 st-x, diesel, manuel with 265/75/16 tyres and carying about 550kg. 99.9% of driving was done at 100km ( 2000rpm).
just goes to show that sometimes you get better value for money if you spend a little bit extra on fuel rather than going for the cheapest price per litre.
any body know why there's such a big difference in fuel economy?
they must put some sort of filler in the diesel
