Callum929 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I am wondering what other people get out of their 170 diesel. I do mainly short trips which I know wont help but I am getting around 400 miles to a full tank which seems low to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 its difficult to compare as we have different cars, mine is a 140 common rail remapped to 180. i get around 500 with a mix of driving which works out to an average of 35mpg which isnt bad considering my right foot is constantly planted to the floor. my trip counter + remaining is currently saying i'll get 650 which would be 46mpg, however i've done a 140m round trip on the motorway (85+) and back with no local driving since i last filled. oh, and i use biodiesel which is said to reduce MPG by around 10% Either way, 400 sounds low, if your tank is the same size as mine? 65l. that'd be an average of around 28mpg!

Callum929 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yeah i thought it sounded low. The range just keeps on dropping without me doing many miles. when i first filled it said over 600 I have now done about 90 miles and its down to 430 miles. Had a quick look online there and seems the 170 is very bad for fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
