Pictures of donkey dicks and comparing fuel consumption - is this a diesel drivers turn on?

I am starting to learn how to drive the auto correctly.

Urban consumption presently is just north of 10km/l.
So with careful driving you can get a so-so fuel consumption.
That's awesome!


My 2010 KB300 D-Teq with 230 000km on the clock & only 5 gears, gets over 10km/l driven by a contractor who is always in a hurry, in Jo'burg, at altitude & it occasionally carries loads between 500kg & 1200kg...

As kak praat 'n siekte was ne?

Manny, I'll put my cock on a block and bet by the time my Ford goes in for its first service, it will average 11+ km/l combined cycle. As for your invincible Isuzu, its most probably not a 4x4, rarely goes over 100kph with the tyres inflated to 3bar (to compensate for the 500-1200kg load).

Chas hasn't posted yet, I think he is still confused and dealing with a lot of conflicting emotions after seeing the defender of the animal kingdom.

You didn't buy it for it's fuel consumption.

Just ride the bloody thing and let the consumption be what it is....

There is a lot of anal analysis going on in this thread. Jeez, you okes are pathetic.

As Shane says, it’s just a bloody car, drive it and then Chuck it when you buy something else.

Yes everything is okay but I must admit there is no ‘anal’ analysis of any kind [emoji853]

@ Shane - you are probably right.

@ Kurt - I'm an ambulance chaser, not a sheik.

@Manny - How many batata deliveries did your dinosaur zoos make yesterday and at what consumption?

We drove the mighty Touran to Wales today. We drove about 300km and the economy was 4.6L/100km. Not one speed hump.

This one’s a keeper [emoji3059]

I also tend to nurse a vehicle when it's new - just to check best possible consumption.

But in reality I don't drive like that so the excercise is actually futile.

Focus on enjoying it. It's a nice vehicle.
