XLR8 1st Gear June 4, 2005 Share June 4, 2005 Yo guys, recently my Octy's consumption has been increasing. Used to be 11.5 l/km, then dropped to 11 l/km, then 10.5 l/km and now 10 l/km!! Any of you guys experienced such nonsense before? My car has been the same all this while without any additional mods. Could it be due to engine oil or other things like lousy fuel etc? Hmmm.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime Neutral Newbie June 4, 2005 Share June 4, 2005 i think he means km/l... does the car have a trip computer like the seat toledo? if you are reading from that, its l/100km... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.. 11.5 is very good. 10 to 11 I think shd be norm. Anyway, is it only one time this happen, or alreadi a few fill-up that u get this figure. FC depends on lots of factors.

Vit4wd 1st Gear June 5, 2005 Share June 5, 2005 I won't be surprised that the oil co.s reduced the amt of additives in their petrol in a cost cutting measure, hence your higher fuel consumption. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky8807 1st Gear June 5, 2005 Share June 5, 2005 possible, as long as they meet the min requirement. that is why I sometimes use oil additives, esp friction reducing type to enhance and supplement the engine oil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLR8 1st Gear June 5, 2005 Author Share June 5, 2005 Recently only leh bro. It seems like I am getting less on a full tank nowadays. When I calculate backwards, I get around 10km per litre max. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky8807 1st Gear June 5, 2005 Share June 5, 2005 maybe the weather. Very hot lately, fuel vapourise faster. park under shelter, avoid heavy traffic and short trip, might improve a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemobile Neutral Newbie June 5, 2005 Share June 5, 2005 I changed mine to read km/l from l/km heh yah man, pls share with us how to change it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeze Neutral Newbie June 5, 2005 Share June 5, 2005 serious about fuel vapourizing in the fuel tank? in that case, when we open up the fuel cover, won't we have fumes coming out of our tanks?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tploh Clutched June 5, 2005 Share June 5, 2005 Possibility : 1) Air pressure in tyre is dropping as well. 2) You are pumping your petrol during day time lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Clutched June 5, 2005 Share June 5, 2005 Ok guys... here are the instructions... Need a Vagtool to do it... Got mine done thanks to Dennis, KK and Amos while I was at Servo 1. Get into the Instruments module (module 17). 2. Click the Recode button. 3. Write down the code number in the box so u will remember it. 4. Don't mess with the Workshop Code box though. 5. Change the third digit in the code number to 5. 6. Our original should be 1. 7. You will get km/l display immediately ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
