Our T6 averages less than 12/100 with a 50/50 city country driving mix so something seems wrong to me.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra potty trained Lifetime Members 1,938 Member For: 21y 8m 12d Gender: Male Posted 06/07/03 10:59 AM Share Posted 06/07/03 10:59 AM how many kays has the T done?is it an auto or manual?has it had the 3000km service? or the 15000km service?the utes are heavier as well as carrying a bigger fuel tank .... 15-16L/100km is reasonable for a ute 50/50 and reasonable performance if I were you, I'd get the dealer to read your computer .. for driving under 2000rpm, what your are getting is unacceptable .... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 06/07/03 11:05 AM Share Posted 06/07/03 11:05 AM I agree take it back to your dealer and have it checked.But as to remapping computer it can be done by a piggy back system which I have seen and will post details of this when final testing has been done.

My average fuel consumption is 15.5 L/100km which I expected during the running in period.Loving every minute of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My T ute gets around 10-12 around town and have had it down to 9.6 on the expressway to Victoria.Put some more km on it mate as it will get better.I have done over 15000km and alot better when run in abit.
