Help! My 2006 cdi Exhaust Stinks and Chokes me out!

[Mjolinor]

I cannot get over about 65 MPG no matter how hard I try.

 

My lifetime average over five years is 62 or so or 4.6 litres / 100km.

 

I don't know who invented that litres per 100 km but it is a proper stupid way to measure fuel consumption IMHO.

I don't know, but I agree 100%, why can't we simply leave things alone and stick with what we were using for god knows how long before the metric system interupted us all...lol.
I like the sounds of 80 mpg...lol.   Hard to figure out when fuel is sold by the litre and distance is calibrated in kms....augh...!!!!

I'm OLD...just leave me alone and GET OFF MY LAWN...!!!!

Nah, don't mind you being on the lawn. You can even dance on my lawn but don't be playing any of that devil music from the 60s or that stuff that is not music by any of the descriptions I know from after the 80s.

 

The metric systems sucks. It is a totally not logical method of measuring stuff.

I agree completely!  This is why (when using metric measurements) I use the kilometers per liter.  (Metric version of MPG the way I use it.)

Much easier to figure the distance available to travel with the amount of fuel supplied.

I prefer measuring fuel consumption in litres per Scandinavian mile. That IMHO is the ultimate way.

Too many hills in a Scandinavian mile.

One mile is 10 km.

WOW...!!!   By this chart, the best I have seen is 2.9 L/100 as an average.....and i also find that if I try to get these numbers it rarely works out for the best....but always 3.5 unless I try and keep up with traffic from lights etc etc.   IF I drive like I don't care when I get there, I get the low low numbers.
