Well, had the car 2 days, done 79 miles and already the mpg is 44, so definately better than the original diesel. Long may it continue to rise

What tyres are fitted Kats? Bridgestones or Continentals?

 

[Deks]

I thought the continentals were only on the Japanese built modelsI used to think it was just the 4wd but apparently the UK built 4wd have Bridgestones

There were Continentals fitted to the Kuro in my local dealer. I asked but they didn't know if it was because it had the different wheels or if it was what all the new models would be shipped with.Kats - where's your attention to detail??!

At the bottom of my glass......

 

[Paul_S]

Your bottom / arse??!!

 

[Kats]

Bridgestones

 

[Paul_S]

Thanks for looking So you're comparing like for like then. What about the pressures?

 

[Kats]

Not checked them yet

 

[Paul_S]

I've probably asked enough questions tonight! Make your way over to the bar and I'll buy you a drink!

Oky doky

Quick update, have done 225 miles and used half a tank and computer says 300 miles left in tank, which we know is more cos there are always 2 bars left when it goes to zero.

So looking at getting about 530 miles out of my first tank of diesel, better than the white one did.

DONT even go there currently mine is @37mpg still at least I will be getting used to low MPG when I swap to the NISMO

 

[Bagger]

I drive mainly longish (400mls+) distances over a couple of days, and the on-board computer consistently tells me I'm getting close to 70mpg. Yes, I have the 1.5 diesel. But, when I come to fill the tank the real mpg is about 10% lower. Is this a common problem? Is there anything that can be done to adjust the readings. Whilst the high numbers look impressive, I'd rather they were right!
