Fuel consumption Auxiliary Heater

[Nik_campervan]

Been in Lake District since boxing day morning, auxiliary heater has been on 4 or 5 during daytime and left on 1 or 2 overnight. No other heat source. Tank was brimmed before parkjng up, just refilled and after accounting for 106miles driving at 37mpg the heater has used 8.6litres over 6 days.

Sounds about right. Left the parking heater on for over 10 days during the super cold spell and I suspect the parking heater consumed about 8 to 9 l.

They’re absolutely brilliant aren’t they.

Worth it for me...

So (at 720g CO2 per litre of diesel) that's about a kilo of CO2 emitted per day in order to keep toasty. Versus 12 to 15 kg emitted to heat an average house using gas on the same cold day.

Be green, go away in your Cali in winter!!
