cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 19y 8m 4d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 27/02/06 11:03 PM Share Posted 27/02/06 11:03 PM (edited) 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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was only because I was late for work normally fill up before it hits 80k dte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how far you actually get on the tank before you start to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
