Fuel efficiency on WVO
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 2:47 am
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!
