A quick hello to you all
Just bought a Ducato camper van and driven up from Devon to S Wales. I noticed the digital fuel indicator milage to the next fill up reading was fluctuating up and down by approx 200 miles! Any thoughts please, is it a common issue? Thanks for any advice .

Hi and welcome

Fiats in general seem to have ( in my 40 years driving them..) very sensitive fuel senders.. cornering could add..or subtract 1/4 of a tank

With modern tech the vehicle is doing a fair job of calculating what its consuming that instant.. but it really IS 'instant'

I travel back to south Wales weekly

I often arrive with the same remaining 'range' as when I set off 2 hours before


Calculating live consumption on 3rd gear and COLD motor 30mpg

Against 6 th gear and 60mpg once all up and running
