Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Fuel Economy Tips Malaysia
Pajero Sport real-world diesel consumption: QF 8AT averages 9–13 L/100km city, 7–9 L/100km highway depending on load. Diesel naturally delivers better torque economy than petrol SUVs. Tips: run in 2H on highway (not 4H), correct tyre pressure, DPF maintenance (blocked DPF increases fuel use), monthly highway run (burns off soot and optimises fuel delivery), avoid excessive idling (diesel idles at 0.8–1.2 L/hour).
Pajero Sport Diesel Fuel Economy Tips
- Use B10 diesel (standard Malaysia) — quality diesel with detergent additives (Petronas or Shell Diesel) reduces injector deposits
- Use 2WD mode on highways and dry roads — 4WD increases drivetrain drag and reduces economy by 10–15%
- Maintain correct tyre pressure (36–40 psi for larger SUV tyres) — underinflation on big tyres significantly increases fuel use
