My "lie-o-meter" shows the best 17 mpg - on hwy, empty at all. 15 mpg in a city, 10-11 mpg when i pull 12000lbs 5th wheel 30' rv. And I thought it just about normal.

I travel the same stretch of highway every couple of weeks, at 108km/hr (1700rpm), i average 1420km per tank, 128L is the most i have put in. do the numbers for your self. i don't even look at the overhead. this is on the 04.5, which is semi retired now. the new one is getting just over 1000km per 120L but is not broken in yet.

So, your getting either 33 mpg based Imp gal or somehwere near 27 mpg on a US gal?

Is that empty or pulling a trailer?

ps. if you are truly getting 33 or 27 mpg ... you really need to tell the rest of us your secert!
