Fantastic mileage indeed! For me not that great, I get around 750km (average) for RM111 full tank of diesel. 60% PJ traffic jam and 40% highway travel.
I have been pumping BHP Diesel and I feel that is one of the better ones as the engine feels smoother.
Your FC not fantastic meh?
BHP diesel? Don't know if it's luck or not but I only tried once and somehow got lower mileage and thought the power decreased.
Perhaps it's a one off or something wrong with that diesel batch.
Will try again the next time. Quite hard to time it correctly because with the great FC, I seldom visit the pump station and when I need to refuel, I cannot find any BHP station along my route.

I was thinking of getting a used diesel Santa Fe or Captiva however, I still have doubts in my mind.
those who's using diesel powered cars, did you experience when travelling to outstation and you wanted to refill but couldn't because of no diesel?
For outstation travel, I think it's a hit or a miss. But then again I tell myself if trucks and lorries can go to those destinations, diesel should be readily available.

That looks to be better than my mileage. Your average is 13.5km/L while I'm getting 13.3km/L on purely highways.
Yeah. I also got confuse why he was complaining about average FC. But then again, he's driving a 320d. The Santa Fe is much heavier.
Anyway on my DM, I get 12.5km/L on highways. But that's full load and overtaking the end December traffic down south in Johore to Singapore and back. Occasionally hitting up to 180km/hr. Very effortless.

Santa Fe is a lot bigger inside that's why I chose it over Captiva. Traveling outstation so far no issues, seems diesel habis is only in klang valley. But to be safe, make it a habit to pump full tank before your journey (especially on month end). Since full tank can get you roughly
RM800 shouldn't really be an issue.
You meant 800 km per tank?
Anyway, diesel habis in Klang Valley?
Never experienced it yet but on my last trip to Singapore, I experienced diesel habis while trying to do a refill in JB town just before Causeway.
