Well did a trip to Coffs on a tank of BP fuel and got a return of 10.6L/100km like I used too. 2L per 100km better than on Caltex fuel. You could even feel the difference in throttle reponse too. Haven't checked the return trip but it looks very similiar and that was carrying an ~500kg load as well.
 
Some definitave results about whether or not chips in/decrease your fuel consumption. (almost 1 years tally)

10,000km without chip 10.38 l/100km

10,000km with Dtronic chip 9.87 l/100km

I'm suprised at the results as I towed a bit more and did quite a few slow 4wd trips (Yalwal, Abercrombie national park, bridle track)

Slowly paying for itself :)

06 ZD30, 9.2L per 100k,
Driven by my mrs, she does not drive hard at all, and drives 40km each way to work daily. This was measured over 3 tanks, then fitted 2 Hiclones and remeasured, same result.
She did not comment on any power diferences when the hiclones went in or came out.
This was also before egr and butterfly mod
 
02 zd30 was always getting at least 650 per tank best was 670 now with bigger tyres just over 600
 
First results since EGR blanked off.

473.9 k's on 46 litres = 9.7l/100k's

I've been putting the boot into it a bit enjoying the extra bottom end so I'll go easy with this next one and see how I go.
 
2nd tank since EGR blocked off.

694.2 k's on 65.9 litres = 9.49l/100k's

Stayed off the loud pedal as much as I could :p
 
Just got a 2nd hand 2008 D22. Only driven around town and a little off-road. It's had no mods and i got 718.8km from 63.17L 8.79L/100k. Pretty happy so far. I can't wait to check highway usage.
 
I kept accurate records over a couple of years for my Disco. I got my 2004 ZD30 D22 STR just recently and have only started keeping records over the last 2 tanks. So far I've got 7.9 and 9.1 litres/100km... so say 8.5 average. This is all around town and quite a bit of freeway mileage. Have yet to see what offroad and towing will give me.
 
Gday guys. First post here, have been lurking for a few days now and seems like a great site

I own an 03 STR with 180k, loaded with about 250kg tools + canopy, drawers, a roof rack with ladder, manhole gates and conduit

I continually get between 630-660km per tank, recently had it up to 675km but that was just about bloody bone dry

Just filled up and it took 66L with 643km on the trip meter = 10.2 L per 100 km

I think it tyre size is important when doing this calculation, I am currently running 265/65/16 and my speedo is perfect at 100kmh (using 2 different gps). Those that are now getting lower mileage with bigger tyres could just be getting a false odometer reading. Just the same at a navara's speedo will be reading 10kmh slower at 100kmph with 33"s

Just an observation!
 
economy

2004 str zd30 manual no extra weight 300 km of highway the rest around melbourne no flogging but no sunday driving 492 km =50 litres =10.16 beats the old hilux in more ways than one fun economy power comfort navs got 77000 on the clock
 
1129km's travelled on the last tank.

113.13L to fill, So works out to be 10.0008L/100km's.

Pretty happy with that.

Dave.
 
just decided to test my newly purchased navara.

its a 2002 D22 cab chasis, with 195000 on the clock

filled it up did 500km of mixed use and worked out to be 9.7l per 100km so im very happy with that.
 
I ve got an 08 str with 27k on the clock and have been keeping a very comprehensive log book to keep an eye on economy. Ive had it for 3 months now and started off only refilling after using most of the tank. This has seen me getting a best of 8.6 and average of 8.9 per 100km. last two time filling up ive filled up from 1/2 a tank and the economy got as good as 8.2L p/100km. Does anyone know why it would be more efficient in the first half of a tank? These figures are only so low cos i'm never in a hurry and sit on 95-100 on highway. I reckon plenty of people must get pissed of behind me but screw em for that economy.
 
No idea mate, I over check mine when I fill it up.

I always run it down to 1000km's atleast out of the tank.

Dave.
 
The top and bottom quarter of my tank is better than the middle half if I use the fuel gauge for the calculations. Usually I can get about 250ks between full and 3/4, 300ks between 3/4 and 1/4 and then a further 250ks out of the remaining 1/4. (basic maths 300ks out of the middle 40 litres and 500ks out of the litres either side).

My gauge says the tank is larger between empty and 1/4 and 3/4 and full than it is between 1/4 and 3/4 and the simple answer for it is because the gauge is not accurate. Of course if you're using the actual pump figures then technically it shouldn't make a difference.
