hmm. i'd be more inclined to participate if your screen shot wasn't a bunch of made up gibberish, numbers and symbols.

 

Funny you got 7.2L. That is exactly 1 U.S. Gallon. Now you take the 100KM, which is 62 miles. Now it's really screwed up as you are not going 62 miles per gallon, are you?

Man I am both screwed up and admiring your fuel mileage, whatever it is.

 

hmm, your close and I like your math. Probably best if you divide by 2 and add a bit

 

You guys are too funny. I can speak both american and canadian
I tried to do all the conversions for you but I guess the picture has you stumped. From top to bottom here's the conversion
Canadian eh American
Distance km 256.2 160 miles
Average L/100km 7.2 32.67 mpg
Average km/h 93 58 mph
Elapsed Time 02:44:58 2 hours, 44 minutes and 58 seconds

 

1 Gallon of fuel is equal to 3.785 liters metric.
No offence to anyone here, but 80% of the world uses metric now, including most precision equipment made today.
Almost all of the cars, planes, and equipment built now have 100% metric fasteners.
Only the US have still not fully adapted to metric yet! However they will need metric tools to fix their cars!
Don't be afraid to learn metric, as it is not that hard to learn, and knowledge is king.
I was taught imperial measurement as a child, but quickly learned metric later on as more equipment built today uses metric measurements now.

 

And what about the F-scale for temperature? That's a funny one!

 

Am leaving today, Mtl to Halifax. i will set my speed at 110- 115 k am shure i will never get that kind of mileage with the competition,I have 2 years to like or dislike my rig

 

Good luck to you. I found it best to not use the cruse and used the go peddle very gently. Post a picture after. Best if the picture is in metric so Captain can figure out the mileage for you after....

 

Hey, if you can move a decimal point to the left, or right, you can operate the metric system!

...and the US isn't the only country not officially metric... Burma (Myanmar) and Liberia are still using the Imperial system. <grin>

 

I will give up a update of my best average .

 

how did you get a 2016 model in December?LOL

 

oops, now there's a brain fart. Meant to say 2015 but the fingers didn't listen.....

 

Temperature on these diesels is a factor too!
How quickly they get up to operating temperatures, where the fuel numbers begin to get good.
If you drive say 10miles the truck is just geting up to operating temps, now throw in cold temps and your tranny and engine stays in a lower gear to help warm up things! Now say a good temp around 74f and above these little diesels act much differently in my humble opinion and start showing good mpg almost 2-3 mins after driving hitting 24mpg and above sooner!

 

Now the truth comes out. NEVER listen to me. A liter is like a quart but a bit more. 4 quarts to a gallon makes that 7.2 = 2. I did not use common sense or had none. Used a Google calculator to get it right and that thing is wrong. Just used it again and the link I used is stupid wrong. Went to another link and it's right. I had no common sense to figure that out.

Next time I want common sense, I'll look in the refrigerator where the other Alzheimer people hide their stuff.

Thanks for the reality check.

One other thing. A liter is too small a quantity to use logically when you measure fuel. It should be a greater volume like a gallon. Like maybe a 10 liter measure called a megal.

 

I think you might be on to something here Captain. Maybe I should restate my mileage as
.72 megals / 100km

hmmm, the greater volume makes a smaller measurement per 100km, food for thought in your fridge

 

I'm about to get an ecodiesel and I was talking to my buddy who just got one. He said he gets 1300-1500 KM's out of 100$ of diesel. Fuel here in Ontario us at 108 cents/litre. Is he bullshit ting me or is this possible?

 

I call B.S, unless he's driving a 2wd reg cab downhill for that distance. I've never put much more than $100 worth of fuel in my truck, a fill up from 1/8 will be just under or just over depending on price. I have never got more than 1050 on a tank, usually between 800 - 950. 1200km might be doable driving 100kph, all highway. No one is getting 1500 to a 92(?) litre tank. If you used every last drop of fuel that would equal out to 6.1L/100km, not happening.

That is the best I've got over a longer distance, probably 50/50 city/highway.

Not 100 miles, but I could have maintained it if I wasn't impatient.

 

Well take a look at my fuelly at the bottom. Every fill up my truck has ever had is there. I do about 900km for $80+ commuting to work and I have a heavy foot. No he's not bullshitting you, its possible.

 

Vancouver BC to Ottawa ON. Left 4 am Friday July 3 and arrived 1 pm Monday July 6

Now for a wash ;-)

 

I believe you got that mileage. When I first got my truck I went on a long road trip through the mountains and did not bad myself. I fueled up at petrocan

 

Kressman,

Your getting some pretty impressive mileage there. I hope you joined the 30+ club.

Mike
