Is that for the actual calculation or what the car computer tells you?To add another data point, the best I've seen for my petrol is 18.6 mpg (12.65 l/100 km) on a 320 mile (500 km) trip on tarmac under ideal conditions. Typical result is closer to 16.5 mpg (14.25 l/100 km).
Others have noticed this. I remain unconvinced that computers are smarter than smart humansI'm curious about the divergence of computer vs reality folks see here.
In my first 5 tank refills I found the computer to be about 1-2 liters off in what it claims as average fuel consumption. Computer hovers around ~15.5L/100km (~15mpg) for mostly sub 90km/h, mostly even surface dirt or pavement mountain roads and some city. Reality at the pump is more like 17-18L/100km (~13.5mpg).

Is your car a diesel?9000 km. Mainly commuting 13.3 lt/100km
Petrol. Actually, the Grenadier taught me to be a truly prudent and law-abiding driver after decades of very heavy foot driving. Previously my goal was the highest possible average speed, now the lowest possible average consumption... Another form of driving fun...Is your car a diesel?
If this is a petrol this is very low!
My son comes over for a week in February, therefore my next trip to Hungary will be or April or June. Nothing planned.Thank you Jean for your precise data and graphs.
Its nice to see you managed to pump 90,94 liters also. When is your next trip to Hungary…?
Btw still struggling with water leak at the drivers side safari window.
I guess so: the car measures the number revolutions of the wheel, and the car computer computes - based on diameter of the wheels) the distance (odometer) and computes also the speed with data of the clock.@Jean Mercier the speedometer does read higher than actual , but is it related/linked to the odometer?
I have no idea. These computers just confuse me.
Well, wel ... I learn every day: you are right, completely right, never thought about this!@Jean Mercier - In the US, the mixture of ethanol on the gas is increased in winter to help lower emissions. The obvious downside to that is an increase in fuel consumption. Is that also done in your country? Belgium I believe?

For your Safari window, try to put a layer of Sikalastomer on the rubber joint: this should solve the problem temporarily, but probably you tried that.

You have to also provide the l/100km conversion for the ROW to make sense of this19 MPG in my Scottish white Trialmaster.
