FG fuel economy
Just completed a 7600 mile journey in the FG. Most of that driving was on interstate highways at around 63-4mph. Fuel mileage was 11.3 mpg. That's lower that has been reported her by others and lower than my initial measurement early in the trip. Had 3 kayaks on the camper.

After the switch to ultra low sulphur diesel I can't get 17 anymore. The best I get is 15.

I'm lucky to get 5 klms/ 1 litre.....
No idea of imperial...
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

Typically, I get 10 mpg at 60 mph but it jumps to around 14 mpg at 50 mph or lower. The latter was seen in the mountains at 7000 to 10000 ft.

Actually I used this http://www.onlineconversion.com/fuel_consumption.htm Makes it easy but that's still not good for a little 649 is it.

I hope you had a good trip Kerry. I just drove from Florida to Minnesota, about 2,000 miles, and averaged 15.5 with my Isuzu NPR. The bad news is that I had a tail wind for much of the way. That was driving at 55 mph. Heading for California in about 10 days, sure that will drop as I hit the mountains.

I guess I'm not out of line then. I did drive at slower speeds for about a tankful and I noticed a marked difference in how fast the fuel gauge moved.Originally Posted by DontPanic42

I had forgotten I had this old thread on fuel economy. I thought I should link it here to add to the info:

Just got back from a 4 week, 6000km offroad trip with dad, took his big MAN and my "little" canter. havent done the final fuel calculations yet, but all through the trip I was getting consistently 5.8-6.2 km/L, mostly over rough dirt roads, desert dunes, and huge corrugations. Gotta be happy with that from a truck...

Hey Andrew,
Thats pretty good considering I get about 4.5-5 klm/ltr from our with a fully loaded bus.
Your at least 20% up on our economy!! Goo work mate, all the efforts with the truck paid off!!
