further to my previous post, i found another craftmanship issue on my X3, the air-vent on the back seat at the driver side is broken..... just realise when i sat at the back yesterday..... so far, there are 3 craftsmanship issues, and some missing items... (triangular hazard sign and the first aid kit) aparts from these issues, the performance of the car is good.... i like it, and the fuel consumption is quite good.... all city driving and finished the 1st tank of diesel, gave me around 680km / 65L tank on 2.0L diesel engine..... not bad.... cheers, ppduck |

Fuel Economy
ppduck your car should be doing much better than that for fuel economy.
I assume you are in Sydney. If so, get out onto the M4 in the weekend, zero your journey computer and then drive to the mountains and back at a steady 100km per hour, since it is an almost level road you should be gettting below 6 litres/100km under those conditions. I am getting 5.8 for that drive even though that is more consumption than the car is claimed to be able to do. My daily drive is about 15km of local traffic (including M4 traffic jam in the morning) and 40km crusing the freeway, I average 6.6 litres/100km all round. |

You are only getting 10.5kms per liter on the 20d in city driving? Seems high consumption or maybe engine needs to break in.

You probably right as the car is still new and only the 1st tank.... but i admitted that i have always stop and starting the car as driving in city and also always doing a few kilometer a trip .. therefore, it uses more petrol that usual..... will keep monitoring it to see what will be the best outcomes.... cheers ppduck |
