I live on a farm 20km from Lismore. So none of these figures involve being stuck in peak hour traffic. The fuel has never been less than B5.
(1) A round trip to Brisbane (monthly) is usually 430/480k. All trips, on different fuels, Fossil Diesel (B5), B30 & B70 have been monitored & all have come up with the same figures...being; 4.1L/100km at an average of 71km/h
(2) Blocks of 500km with no highway driving. eg; to town shopping, school, swimming. All on windy country roads. Average trip length is 27.5km. The figures for this type of driving are 4.7L/100km @ 54km/h average. Fuel used makes no difference.
(3) From new to 5400km the average has been 4.5L/100km @59km/h average. So the conclusion to this is that the fuel used makes no difference to consumption in a 2006 model 1600cc HDi C4 Citroen...As to POWER DIFFERENCE I am having the C4 dyno tested today using Fossil diesel. The next tank full will be B100 & then Dynoed again after a trip to Bris on B100. This will probably take 2 to 3 weeks to complete but I will let youall know as soon as I know. Also the cummins 33kva gen set (37hp) has no different consumption nor does my HiLux 1989 2.8. The hilux has slightly less power but I am not going to waste money having it dynoed to find out how much less.
