5. Don't use Air-Con

6. Get it out of Auto and get it into 6th gear ASAP

7. Make shure the wind is behind you.

8. No extra passengers.

9. Wear T-Shirt...Shorts..Thongs.

10. Fill with High Octain Diesel.

11.Do run on the flattest road...eg Melb to Adalaide

12. don't go over 85kph

13. Replace all oils with 10W- 20W

[ianrmorris]

Back... now I have 10k on the clock.....best economy is 6.4ltrs/100km

I think I can do better than that with the following adjustments to the car.....

1. Put 100psi in the tyres..(Helium gas will help)

2. Fold back external revision mirrors

3. Silicon wax the car

4. Remove spare tyre..back seat..floor mats...roof racks...rear tailshaft...water from windscreen bottle...remove ash tray...log book...etc

5. Don't use Air-Con

6. Get it out of Auto and get it into 6th gear ASAP

Usually you can get a bit more into the tank if you fill it "to the brim" as is shown in the video. If you just fill until first click, tank will not be full, because diesel foams and when foam contacts the nozzle, the pump turns off. So if you want to fill to the brim, you have to wait for a few minutes for the foam to settle and then fill it very slowly until you can see the diesel.

But 15ltr over specified tank volume - impressive...

More than "a bit" I think. They actually showed the wire "seal" being snipped which, if it had already been broken once, is blatant misrepresentation. However, they DID come clean about the overall volume of fuel used so they'd say it's a moot point.

[Bronzey57]

Yes, interesting. The strong implication is that they did not re-fill it en-route because of the "seal" they showed you snipping at the end. So, as you say, why don't they come clean?
