Sd4 fuel consumption help.... - Chantel82 - 06-06-2013 11:31am
Hi , I just wanted to check with others what the average fuel consumption is.
I've had mine a few weeks now and have done 1500 km. it's showing my average is 13.4l/100
It seems to be way too high and is using way to much diesel. I'm so disappointed . Will it get better as the engine wears in ?

Mine is an SD4 and now has about 3500km (5 weeks ownership) and I am getting around 8.1L/100km though. I drive mostly on the federal highway, local country roads and short Canberra trips and one trip Canberra to Sydney and return. Also I tend to be a bit of a lead foot and this is from 5 or so tanks without resetting the trip info
Can be dependant on lots of issue and may get better over time

Had my SD4 since Feb2012 and done just under 11000km now.. I really only do city driving and don't mind putting the foot down.. getting about 10-11km/100km.. I usually get the fuel warning around 500km from a full tank

SD4 Auto, 20" and pano rood. All factors not helping fuel consumption. Had the car for 2 months, nearly 5000 km, average fuel consumption... 8.2 L/100 km. Just must be driving that thing like you stole it!!

Heheheheh. No I'm actually not driving it with a lead foot, well not always anyway. I have the 20in wheels too, does this factor into the fuel consumption.

Some say the 20" makes a difference, some say it does't... Same for the pano roof. Yesterday I filled her up, average consumption was 7,6l/100km on this tank... Average since I own the car nicely at 8 - 8,2 l/100 km...

Wow that's really good, I hope mine gets better!

I've got an SD4 with 20 inches and pano and am hovering around 31 mpg which is pretty much what it's been since I had my car 18 months and 25000 kms ago!!
So for me hasn't improved by much and well below LR stated figures...and I haven't got a heavy foot.

I have an SD4 with 18" wheels.
I drive like a hoon and average 8-9l/100km
Mainly outer suburban trips of about 10-30kms a trip.
