TD42t economy

My 14.6 l/100 is from a 2005 td42i wagon with 280 000km on the clock this next tank is looking at mid 13's as I haven't been getting up her.

Yep mine are also from a 2004 TD42Ti with 330k on the clock still on original injectors and pump running 25psi.

Mine is a 99GU but I drive like an old b@stard these days and am not too heavy on the pedal. I have very little to no traffic and roadsmare 80 to 100 kmh for 90% of the run. I alternate between adding 2 stroke oil in one tank, followed by injector cleaner each 20k. Not sure that helps but it keeps the girl a little cleaner.

Now driving the tb42, that's a different kettle of fish all together, crap economy no matter what, where or how I drive so it's foot down and go :D

Also the best figures shown by Bene and Matt are utes which 'should' be lighter but also are modified

The uts arn't that much lighter, when I bought mine full of fuel with me in it it was 2.6t

Maybe you need to lay off the krispy kremes Bene lol! :D

I was much lighter when I bought it

Yep last time I put mine on the weigh bridge with an empty tray, 2 occupants and half a tank of diesel it came back at 2.7t

G'day Alitis,

I have got a 2001 GU 4.2 turbo diesel Patrol wagon and I get 13 litres per 100ks with 2inch lift, steel full length ARB roof rack, with all the bells and whistle's on travelling on all-terrain 33's.

With my trip down to Victoria at Christmas time fully loaded with my wife and three children, aircon on and sitting on 110ks, I was getting between 16-17 litres per 100ks.

Regards,

PMC




Before I modified it the best I got was 10.5/100 on 265 highway terrains.

Wow! Fully loaded under the same circumstances my TB42 gets 20-24L per 100km (depending on terrain). That's really surprising.....

Mind you I can get nowhere near those unloaded figures while just tooling around in it.......like Clunk suggested, it doesn't seem to matter how I drive it.....it's always thirsty......Anyway, play on......
