Re: Excessive Fuel Consumption on XR6T
I don't use the trip computer for my fuel calc's. The trip computer was close to the figures I calculated .3 lt/100k high. But only if you set it on every tank fill. I was trying to get an average for the entire trip.
I still don't like the way Ford calc the average fuel usage. It seems to be at too short an interval for it's readings. The Statesman I previously had gave updates every 2 mins, not very 2 secs so it wasn't affected by short bursts as much.
As for Mobil 8000 versus Shell Optimax, the figures show no difference. I still want to try the BP Ulimate though.
So far NO sign of brake shudder at 8000 klms.
