Take this for the humour its intended
Dont turn it on !!!

They are juice guzzlers, always have been ,always will be
Ive seen fully worked old skool GT falcons get better economy than a bog stock 4.2 pettie GQ
That aside

Good tune up ,maybe extractors,better exhaust ,carb rebuilt and calibrated correctly ,change driving style
A carb 4.2 pettie will be getting a bitta age now, so a rebuild could be on the cards for an engine freshen up ???

How many Ks on it, auto maunal, tyre size, body lift, suspension lift, roof racks ect all make the economy differ

yea they are a bit of a petrol guzzler, but I love it goes anywhere for me. It has around 230,000 km, maunal gear box, 50mm body lift and 50mm suspension lift and roof racks. I have it on blocks at the moment and doing some work to it will look at what you said
