RV FEATURE
After paying for the fuel , I ran the numbers . Working out fuel consumption is relatively easy . Simply fill your tank to the brim , as I had done , zero the trip-meter , and when you fill up again do so again to the brim . Then , make a note of the number of litres of fuel that went back into the tank , as well as the number of kilometres driven according to the trip-meter .
It is simply a matter of then dividing the fuel used in litres by the distance travelled in kilometres , and multiplying the answer by 100 . This will give you the vehicle ’ s fuel consumption in litres per 100km .
Naturally , fuel consumption will be affected by a wide range of factors . Weather , traffic , speed and even tyre pressures play a role ; however , it is an exercise I perform from time to time as one means of remaining familiar with my vehicle . Your fuel figure will vary , but if it varies wildly , it may indicate an issue .
910km on a single tank . Not bad .
THE RESULT
I was quite pleased that I ’ d been able to squeeze 910km from a single tank of diesel . The final result was 8.04L / 100km . Not bad at all . Now , I was travelling light . Add a few extra passengers and luggage , and that number would climb a little . That said , I still believe that the MU-X is a fuelefficient vehicle and , as an aside , I know from experience that it is also a solid tow vehicle .
BY THE NUMBERS Distance travelled : 910km Fuel used : 73.19L Fuel consumption : 8.04L / 100km
