Keeping climate control on all the time works much better in cars with 4 zones or even if the 2 zones are front and rear rather than right and left. |

I usually have climate set to the same temp on each side of the vehicle. It works very nicely. I find the split temperatures across the vehicle don't work so well. Bit of a gimmick in my view... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

The point is, if the rear passengers want a different temperature than the front, you can't leave climate control on permanently.

if you drive with the air con off and use BP ultimate or shell nitro+ you will notice a big rise in fuel consumption

Can't help thinking that driving a 2.5t 4x4 and worrying about fuel consumption are mutually exclusive. If fuel use is an issue then buy a different vehicle. Turning off climate control just to save a few quid seems to me to make owning a luxury vehicle rather pointless. But perhaps it's just me... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

As an academic exercise, fair enough. But if you usually have AC on anyway, you may as well test the various fuels with it on to give a proper real-world consumption figure. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Dont they design newer cars to have the climate control on without impacting MPG almost at all...back in the 90's you would loose 1 or 2 MPG, now you might loose .1 or.2mpg if at all

I believe newer systems somehow clutch the pump in and out as required rather than run it flat out all of the time.

re trip to oxfrod and back, I have always found the indicated mpg to be pretty much spot on when compared with actually working out the consuption and this trip was no different. Must have the only accurate computer out there. This makes a refreshing change as i had SAAB before this and it was miles out.

Like most RRS owners I too realised before buying that large fuel bills will be inevitable (but worth it). This is probably the first or second time I have bothered to calculate consumption based on fill ups/mileage. I do keep an eye on the computer mpg though. Not because I "worry" about how much fuel is being spent but so that I can spot any significant anomaly as it could be a sign of a mechanical problem which I would want to pre-emptively address. Just surprised how inaccurate the computer can be. |
