Hi Mick and welcome, might want to pop over to the intro section and lets us know abit about yourself and your ride, Just something the forum asks of everyone so we know a bit about you and vice versa. From what I know the 4.8 not the most frugal on fuel. might have to wait for the others to fill up and get here

LMFAO! Yes IT DOES!

I did a trip through the middle a couple of years ago with my TD42Ti GUIV and a mate had a GUIII with a 4.8 and no LPG. we were both towing a comparable trailer each. We pulled up to a pump and i pumped Diesel and he pumped petrol. I filled with 82lts and he pumped 139lts of petrol for identical kms!!!

OUCH!

Not sure if there are many 4.8 owners on here mate....most of them can't afford internet , they spend all their money on petrol....hahahahha
sorry mate couldn't resist.

Hopefully someone can give you some true figures but I would expect 20's everyday driving and 30's plus 4x4 or sand

If its anything like the 4.5 mate good luck, i average 6km/ltr mixed city and freeway driving after mucking around with timing, tps and idle speed towing roughly 5.5km/ltr and i only use 98ron PULP

Only had my 4.8 a few weeks and will be getting the lpg retuned in the morning for the new engine. Currently getting 30+L to the 100 mixed city and hway which is ridiculous, and driving style doesnt seem to make any difference.

Still early days though as i have only had a problem free engine for a week.

The car is literally a weekender so if it continues ill ditch the lpg for a pure fuel setup for the increased range.

Dw mate i feel your pain, i'm gona ditch the motor in favor of something with a bit more kick lol

But who buys a 4.8 for its economoy? They go hard and with the addition of a turbo you may be able to get your figures down ever so slightly but unlikely as you will be having to much fun with the extra power .

It was probably at the right price more then economy
