Good day Gentle and ladiesmen! Hope all is well where ever you are.
I own a strada 2006 1.7td 72hp, it does 3100 rpm at 100kmh. It has absolute DOGSHIT fuel economy long distance, (13.5kmpl ac used) attached images show palio td doing 2500rpm at 100kmh, and youtube screenshots of a 1998 1.7td doing about 2300 rpm at 100kmh, if you didn't know it a diesel fuel economy is mostly directly associated to rpm, the fiat engine 178a3 1.7td has all its torque from 1800 to 2600 rpm,
Fuel prices only ever go up.....
Palio qouted milage highway is 5.1/100km punto is 4.9, my strada is 7.7/100, exact same engine
Local the palio 1.7td gets more economy at 120kmh than i can manage at 100kmh,
PLEASE any info on the differential final drive ratios i wil highly appreciate, especially part numbers on that 98 punto 1.7 ring and pinion gears , local shops even dealers are clueless, i am in south africa KZN, i have a spare box and looking to swop in a better ratio diff ideally 2200 rpm is sufficient , again local info /resource is very limited, hoping to gain some info from the hive mind, TNX.
