If you were actually getting 14 km per litre, I would have that truck gold plated. I'm getting between 7.5 - 8.5 in the summer and 5.5 - 6.5 in the winter. Your numbers work out to 33 miles per gallon. Never heard of a 6.0 getting that kind of mileage. 2.4 km per litre does sound very low. Probably like 7 or 8 miles to the gallon. I think normal is anywhere from around 12 to 19. Some guys say they get 20+, but those are the few.

Your numbers are about right.
I do slightly better by driving very slow.

maybe due to EDGE computer system in truck,readout was showiing 14km.per,so possible computer is messed up.Engine still seems to run fine.Truck has 12 inch lift with 38 inch tires.

The 12" lift is probably good for a 1-3mpg penalty.
