Mitsubishi Fuel Consumption Database

doc diesel's shop always somes up kapag calibration na ang pinaguusapan... first diesel mo ba ito? do you keep your revs low (2000 -2500), diyan kasi yata ang max torque ng pajero... diyan sa range na optimal ang fuel consumption... pero I'll leave it to the pajero experts to say...

[fooyen]

Yup its my first diesel, majority naman i keep it at mge 2500 pero paminsan minsam umaabot ng 3000. Where is doc diesel's shop pala?

[paj4x4]

my gen 1 (4d56T) does about 7-7.5km/liter city and about 9-10km/liter on the highway. the gen 2.5 (4m40) halos ganon din. mas matipid lang ng konti.

gas consumption really depends on how our right foot behaves. hehe

i just bought a 2nd gen pajero with a 2.5 TDIC engine.... so far my average consumption is 6km/L in the city.... is this bad?? how can i make it more efficient? mileage is now 102T kms....

please advice..


TIA

I was doing 7-9 km/L on 31" A/T tires. Siguro a little bit less now that I'm on 33" muds.

I'm doing 7 km/l city driving. What is your tire pressure? Handbook indicates 28 psi. Pump it up to 32 psi will give you better mileage but a harder ride.

[OTEP]

I usually run 28 to soften the ride up. The cranked t-bars stiffen up the ride quite a bit.

I'm averaging at 7.2 km/li, edsa and SLEX ang normal route ko, Filinvest QC to Alabang. I learned to discipline my accelerator feet. I'm running on 26psi (front) and 29psi (rear) N2 air. Don't ask me if there's a difference now i changed to N2, I still can't appreciate it, I'm just curious w/c why i tried.
DOC Otep, You mentioned about cranked T-bars w/c affects ride stiffines. How it is so? T-bars thightening makes my ride stiff and lossening makes it soft?

[OTEP]

OT: Cranking the t-bar up will increase upward travel but will decrease downward travel causing it to hit on the bumpstops more during rebound.

And just like a spring, winding up a t-bar makes it more stiffer.

[Field Master]

So the tendency is to wind it up as the shock is getting worn. To compensate for the loss shock performance. Thanks OTEP.
