I would be happy to get 20L/100!
I suspect the mixer on my car is worn out. If that proves to be the case ill simply rip it out and ho straight fuel with a long range tank.
As it is running lpg is more expensive!

I get about 18 L per 100 km on mine when I keep it on the highway. Like you say, driving it gently makes little difference. I think that's because doing 500 km at 80 save a bit that you then waste by blowing away a cruiser at the next set of lights. Excellent fun though
Take it off road and into the dunes - Wow I did 117 km in the sand last week and shot off almost half a tank. I reckon that's almost down to 2 km per litre

Well iv started the ball rolling, its sitting on a chassis dyno and its first power run on petrol was 107 RWKW.
It has a LPG vapour injection system fitted 2 months ago and made nearly the same power on gas so im happy about that
More testing throughout the day....

Petrol,4x4,and economy in the one sentence,paragraph, story , doesnt happen
The only way i get less than 20L/100Ks in my petrol GQ is dont start it
But altho thirsty,it eats the hills and can do any legal speed up them,something many diesels struggle with

Original air box out and a pod filter fitted, 135 RWKW’s very impressed.

Yep, converter is stuffed. Replacing it so hopefully i can get a little more range out of the 115L lpg tank.
That combined with a 78L sub tank in a few months im hoping for the kings share of 800km combined range, depending on the type of driving of course.

Just asking mate, a 20kw gain is huge for just a filter but is that in a pod box or open to air? coz i want to make a snorkel and enclosed pod for my rig to see if that makes any difference.
