JAS21 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Back on fuel consumption. I have the 3Ltr V-Cross AT 4*4. Now when it was newer I could get an indicated 18+kpl driving to Kanchanaburi at just under 80kph provided little traffic. It's now done 40K+ Kms and surprisingly it is not so frugal. Also I have blanked the EGR and it definitely now uses more fuel when driving around town and in heavy BK traffic. It certainly won't now do an indicated 18kpl even on a long run and at that speed. Once you get towards 100kph the fuel consumption increases quite a lot. When manufactures talk about overdrive they could mean when the overall ratio is less than one, as is in my 5th gear. www.fuelly.com is worth a read, I'm on there now and showing an average around 12kpl. I will invest in a basic Racechip shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtsabai Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I found the Racechip site. Looks good. K&N available there also but shipping is 45 I'm guessing euro. Still don't understand why chips are still being used. I don't think you can even use back in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) The pickup truck based Song Taews with ISUZUs out number all other makes by 4 to 1. I wonder why? That one is simple. Because the coachbuilders making the box on the back offer better pricing on versions that fit Isuzu trays (economics of scale), and don't make versions for many pickups. The same goes for the guys making cages and 2-ton wheel & suspension upgrades for pineapple farmers. In these cases, you choose the pickup based on the parts available, not choose the pickup then try to find the parts to modify it.

gamesgplayemail Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hello, So it's about 10kms/l for Diesel, and how much for Petrol or Gaz ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannot Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Ive got a 2.5 vigo smart cab used it 5 years, thrash it i never check fuel consumption so i just did, its never been reset in 5 years it says 11.1kml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well i got a good laugh reading some of the posts in this thread. Sy whatever you like Isuzu beats the pants off the rest for fuel economy. The on-board gizmo in our d-max reckons wife is getting 16.1 kms per ltr, which i think is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAKAPALITA Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Why do they put that silly 6km/100 on Showroom Vehicles it means F/A to me.Also Newton Meters instead of BHP. What a bloody apple landing on a kids head has to do with an engine seems rather silly.BHP and 18 MPG at 60 MPH is all i know or need. 13 minutes ago, transam said: It's now the other way round for me...

NanLaew Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Just took the sports lorry (3.2 Ranger) on a thrash from Isaan to the seaside and back and the calculated fuel consumption was 8.5 l/100km which is a fairly decent 33.2 mpg (UK) or 27.7 mpg (US). Took the 'mountain' route and the 624 km took 8.5 hours so average speed was 75 kph including 1 piss stop.

naboo Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 My Ford Ranger (2011) averages 12km/l around town and 15km/l on the highway. I generally stick to 100kph on the highway, just over 2000rpm. Works out at about 2B/km. I fill a tank for 1500B, and it gets me from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. For you old guys, 12km/l = 34mpg (UK) and 15km/l = 42mpg (UK). If you can't even get a gallon right, I have no idea. And l/100km - couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using your methodology, I'm getting 11.8 km/l = 33.3 mpg (UK) over the 642 km with the cruise control set at 100... but the real average speed around 75 kph. I didn't have cruise control on the 2.2 Ranger and I would get the occasional speeding ticket despite "generally sticking" to 100 kph. The cops on the Mitrapharp generally position themselves just after the crest of a hill to catch the 'speed creep' effect. Since I got the new one with cruise control, no speeding tickets... but I am older! Is that the 2.2 Ranger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
