60 miles from £20 diesel

[stinka]

Sucks tbh

Not thrashing it either

1.44 per litre is pretty horrendous

 

[supergnome]

[zippy656]

Leaking?

Leaking?

Not seen anything :nenau

 

[dollywobbler]

That is poor. 20mpg in my petrol Mav means I've been hooning it!

As Zippy says Veg oil at £1/ Litre, while its still relativley warm weather. Got to blende in winter,even rape thickens up.David.

Defo summut wrong there mate.Mine's got loads of engine mods in thego faster dept and I still get 25 and never seems less than that tbh :thumbs

 

[stinka]

So you get like what, 80 to £20 ?

No idea mate I run on bio 93p a litre oh and lpg 43p a litre

 

[supergnome]

Bio is best but finding a reliable supply at a good price for less than 1000litres is difficult.

 

[makeitfit]

Seems to be getting worse now too. You'd think in hard times more people would be making it
I blame the govt. they've made veggy oil suppliers charge for non return of waste oil :doh

Problem is, unless you're doing tank-brimmed to tank-brimmed, you're never truly sure how much fuel you are using. Sloshing in £20 and estimating when you've used up that £20's worth will always leave it as a guessing game. You might well actually be doing 25mpg.

My truck done 200 miles today on half a tank!. Seems to like welsh diesel:lol

 

[makeitfit]

It's easy to do 200 miles on the first half the tank Now try it on the other half of the tank :lol

well said, unless you have a meter in the fuel line, brim to brim is the most accurate way, Rick

On a recent journey of 200 miles starting with a tank filled to the brim, towing a 1500kg Caravan + Plus Roof box and pasengers and all the other stuff you carry on holiday using 'A' roads/dual carriage way (the A30 in fact) I had to refill to the brim with £65.00 worth of fuel; therefore...

£65.00 of Fuel to refill to brim @ £1.42 per litre = 45.77 litres of fuel (say 46 litres).

200 miles divided by 46 litres = 4.3 miles per litre.

4.3 miles per litre X 4.54 (1 imperial gallon) = average 19.52 miles per gallon.

If the OP is only getting 20 miles to the gallon solo, then it is a bit thirsty.

PS please correct me if my math is wrong!

20 mpg towing sounds thirsty to me i tow with fourtrak and car transporter get just under 30 mpg but i only go 50mph at the very maximum even on the motorway
