LS1 Fuel consumption

[Pete71]

Just wondering what sort of fuel consumption you LS1 converts get?
Keen to do the conversion with my wagon.
Cheers, Pete

Depends on your right foot but I'd think cruising on the HWY
you might get 17ish/100 Ks maybe less depending on conditions,
tyres,roof rack etc

Thanks threedogs,I was thinking (hoping😆)better than that. My 4.2efi gets around that with the accessories. Full length steel rack, steel bullbar, drawers, 33's.
I'm thinking that the LS even though a bigger engine should be doing less work to push the poo at the same speed. Also should be more fuel efficient motor than the 25year old patrol one.
My thoughts, hopes, dreams...😜

It will push it much faster... ;)
