Does this sound right to you guys..

from half a tank on gauge to full to the brim is 15 ltrs??

seems that the 1st half of the dial goes down quickly and 2nd half real slow..mmm

weird!

not noticed it before when on veg oil,now on the expensive stuff i notice things more!

125km =15 ltrs..bout 22 quids worth

It does seem to go down very quick for the first half and then slows down. I think that's normal as you only really need accurate fuel figures when you're getting low.
