Skunks

I needed an opinion from anyone who owns an x-trail . If I am to drive to and from Buruburu to town daily what average would we been looking at in terms of fuel. I got some estimates from an enthusiastic car salesman but I think he was pulling my Leg ( he claim 250 a day at current fuel prices)

Will appreciate feedback

Kevin,

Vehicle fuel consumption values are theoretical and as such you should not rely on what you are being told. Besides, measuring fuel consumption from Buru to town is nonsense if you wanted to know a vehicle's fuel consumption because there are no constants to refer to - like you say 250 daily - kwani unacontrol jams za huko?:-) Anyway, if you need to buy this X-Trail and the only worry you have so far is  fuel consumption, then take the car on a spin. If you can, make sure the fuel level reads 0 (zero). Reset odometer to zero or take the reading. Put in 10 litres of fuel then take a drive along a highway with very minimal traffic. Make sure you do a smooth drive (driving techniques also contribute to the consumption) until the gauge reads zero again. Read the change on the odometer.

Fuel consumption = No. of km/litres

That will give you the average fuel consumption of the vehicle. The actual will depend on your driving skills, traffic snarls, etc, etc.
