What does your reading on the litres per 100km dial read?

mate work out your fuel economy from the fillup at the bowser before you start worrying. the dash readout can be faulty. take a speedo reading, and then record fual added over say 3 fills. then take another speedo reading and work fuel economy over that total distance. may be a better way of doing it.

davidd, do you question and doubt everything that a JK does?

if you really wanted to go with your way of doing it then whos to say that the odometer isnt out by a little bit?

its a calculated guess that the computer spits out, just leave it be....or use a scangauge II, or is that not accurate enough for you either?

I,ve checked mine several time including a 2 week trip to flinders ranges doing several thousand k and in the end the figures where within half a litre. I dont bother checking any more

mate when a bloke asks about his fuel economy based on a dash readout which is about 35% more than normal, either his engine is really sick or there is an eror in the dash readout. i would have thought checking the accuracy of the dash readout first off would be a commonsense place to start. apparently you don't agree. fine. so what do you suggest?
