Sahara Auto CRD, after 4500km I am averaging 10/12 l/100km.
This includes at least 30% of my kms in 4WD/Low gear. I don't do much city, in that case I am closer to 12/12.5 l/100km. I usually measure between full tanks.
You ever manage to get the indicator to show less than 9.9 l/100km?

My CRD auto has 55,000Kms on it now and on a recent drive from Zurich to Geneva I got my best ever economy so far, 8.5L/100Km. My engine is stock but has the latest design EGR valve. I only use Shell VPower or BP Ultimate diesel, nothing else. With alpine driving I am getting 10.5L/100Km. I never drive WOT, always let the turbo get on boost and try to keep the revs constant and let the transmission shift when it needs to. My tailpipe is usually a whitish grey colour, but goes darker after particle burn off.

Have you heard of anyone adding 2-stroke oil?

My JK with 1,5inch suspension and 285/70 x 17 MT tires consumes max. 13 L in the city!
My advice is: Go to your Jeep Dealer and ask for a update for your electronic engine control.
With best regards from Germany

Mine is an April 2009 build.

Fuel additives ?
Does anyone use any additives to the diesel to stop any build up.
Does it work ?
Hand book recommends using fuel with cleaning agents, but no additives to the oil.
So would adding something like RedX be OK ?

I personally don't add any additives but when it goes in for a service they always put in "fuel treatment" on the list. I've never asked what they use but I think it would be alright with a good branded one. I don't have any knowledge of what it does so haven't done it myself before.
