Been using caltex vortex for awhile. Back when I had my first 320d I compared shell and bp and found I got better performance and mileage from Caltex. I should really do another comparison as that was almost 6 years ago now!

Btw, how many kms you guys get from a tank? With semi spirited driving I get low 900s...

I think i sit around 8-8.5L/100k of normal driving (9 on this tank lol :P), i tend to get b/w 750-850km - Understandably more fuel economy from the 320d's

Next few tanks i want to run BP through it

Also love that there are a few more Diesels around the traps now!

I get around 800km's when the reserve light comes on. And probably have about 100km left from them. So all up around 900kms till empty. I'm averaging anywhere between 6.5 to 7L in city driving

Is your range till empty or once the light comes on ?

Nice, i'm too cool for the city so I stick around the suburbs, don't want the lambo owners to get butthurt. I used to get like 6.2 - 6.4 but then I changed my wheels and I was 6.8 but now 6.5, probably because tyres

That's really good economy I would say. I must have a heavy foot. My trip computer is sitting at 6.8-6.9L per 100. I'm pretty happy with that.

On a trip to Adelaide couple months back I averaged about 4.9L/per 100km. That was sitting at about 140km, most of the way there, overtaking trucks and slow cars. Could probably go lower haha.

My is usually around 6-7/100km but would be interesting to see it after my power kit is installed. Mine is mainly city driving with occasional longer trips to ensure the dpf doesn't play up

Yeah, He is busy these days. But worth the wait if you aren't impatient. I waited around 5 months (given that i had to miss my initial booking). Should be good getting it done in summer too

Yeah I live in south east suburbs but work in city, so combo of a little freeway and city as well as stop start peak hour.

I tried Caltex vortex a few times, haven't noticed much difference in range.

Oddly enough using the 7/11 Mobil special diesel gets me the most range anywhere between 30-50kms more.
