Looks like the "euro" style TD's have it.

Again not a 4wd .. I was scooting about in my brother in laws BMW 120d sports with me driving it like it was stolen it was returning 7.1 liters per 100 according to the trip computer. BIL reported about 4.2 liters per hundred on the hiway.

OMG! Drive it harder!

My GTI averages that...and I give it a right royal flogging everynow and again (at least once a tank...mind you this current tank it looks like I'm going to have achieved 700km from 55L which is a result of a shiteload of highway work @ night in the cooold air)

2008 V8 cruiser ute. 3 inch exhaust, 33x12.5s, i drive the shit out of it. and i still return a mixed economy figure of 12.9/100km

however if i push it to 120/130 km/hr the figure doubles...

kia Sportage economy

Post by 4runnernomore »

97 Sportage, basically stock except for snorkel, K&N air filter and 98 powerchip running 98 octane fuel.

highway around 9.4l/100km

town around 11-12.8l/ 100 km depending on traffic.

Sporties are quite heavy for a small 4by :shock:
