Hey guys,
I understand people have posted ad nauseam about the fuel tank indicator being off but I think the actual litres/miles and litres/km don’t agree.
In my mind 100miles is further than 100km and therefore the litres/100km number should be smaller than the litres/100miles for the same fuel efficiency.
I see that if I have 10.5L/100miles then the car tells me that’s 16.9L/100km. Where 16.9l/100km implies 27.2L/100miles and 10.5L/100miles implies 6.52L/100km.
16.9L/100km is 16.7mpg (uk gallon) whereas 10.5L/100miles is 43.3mpg (uk gallon) which sounds unfortunately optimistic given I was doing 130kph on the motorway with a solar panel on the roof! I think the calc for uk MPG is correct though (as that shows me 16.8) so it might just be the l/100miles which is wrong.
Keen to hear others thoughts / be told I don’t understand fractions!
