| Subject: DIC Avg Fuel Consumption is Growing February 4th 2011, 11:06 pm | |
| For the past few weeks I've been watching my DIC and my Avg Fuel Consumption growing. At first I just rode it off to the cold weather. So I put the weather front on. But now I have gone from a modest 14.7 L per 100 km to today it peaked at 34 L per 100 km. I think that works out to around 7 mpg I'm beginning to think it more then just the cold weather.
What ya think? | |

| Two things; 1. NEVER trust the DIC. Its a liar. 2. All trucks, especially diesels, lose fuel economy in the cold weather, just a fact of life. Try calculating the fuel economy by hand a few times and see what it says. Edit; this is assuming your maintaining the truck. | |
