Fuel efficiency on WVO

Post by SpyderCS »

Just so you guys have some info on this. I did my calculations finally just so I know roughly how much WVO I use in comparison to diesel.

So, I used 15 gallons of WVO roughly. Trying to get it to the same spot on the tank is hard. And I was starting and stopping on diesel, so I had to take that into consideration. I burned 16.6L of Diesel and 56L of WVO and my trip-o-meter reads 518. So I know that I quite reliably use 14.5 liters of diesel per 100 km while using these driving habits too and from work. So, I subtract 115km for the diesel consumed. leaving me with 403km for 56L of WVO which leaves me at 14 liters per 100 km.

Not bad, just loose half a liter per 100k!

So you're running slightly more efficiently on WVO than on diesel, that's pretty cool! Your fuel consumption seems high generally, but that may just be your driving style.
