Has your wife been driving the car? Maybe she has been doing burnouts?

Seriously though - have you been in a bit more stop/start traffic, or over hills? I tend to find that the DTE changes a bit more in these situations - particularly if just after resetting after filling up.

I normally get 450ish from a tank in travel to work (average speed on computer is about 50kph) on highway with stop/start and 100kph driving. It makes very little difference between flogging the car from lights etc than being a nanny, bigger difference if you are stop/starting more often.

My litres /100k is normally between 12.5 and 13.

I found an extra 20km in the tank the other night after 0DTE - what is the longest people have driven showing 0?

LOL! My wife came home one night and told me that she had driven 20kms past the 0DTE! I babied it across to the servo and stuck 62.5 litres in. So there was still 5.5 litres (theoretically) in the tank. But I have no idea how the fuel pick up is situated or how much of that is useable.

I have never run it below 40k dte. That was only because I was late for work normally fill up before it hits 80k dte.

You big girl - I bet you carry a spare pair of undies in case of an accident as well?
