My new rig (new to me anyway) 1996 efi 4.2 on gas getting around 21ltrs per 100k haven't touched anything yet, that's just driving to work stop start stuff little bit of open road. The choke seems to stay on for a long time will try and work that one out on the weekend. I will be fitting a snorkel soon and from what I read on here maybe change the o2 sensor (how much are they and where do I get them?).
I am pretty happy at this stage the old Conformadore was giving me about 18ltrs per 100 on gas and I know what i would rather be driving.

Ok Guys, thought i would post up my latest Fuel consumption figures..
I cruise around in my troll, and don't 'Drive it like i stole it'
My troll is a 2002 3ltr Manual with:
- 3" Lift
- 33" Muddies
- Roofrack with awning, shovel, axe and 4 D'Lights all bolted on
- Steel bar, and D'Lights
My Troll does not have any performance mods (eg: Chip or exhaust).. It does have EGR blocked and NADS fitted
Boost is set to Max of 16psi, at 100kms'h boost sits about 12psi (exhaust temps about 300 Degrees)
Around Town at the moment i average around 14.6ltr's per 100
On the Highway as it stands i average around 13.1 ltr's per 100
Personally i reckon thats pretty good!!
Dude. Thats normal with the RB30. My first troll was a 91 GQ with RB30. Best i ever got was 450 kms out of 90 liters. Get dual fuel going man.Quote:

Still trying to get below 14lt per 100kms, though.
I reckon I get about 650Km from a tank in the TD42, so whats that, 65Km per 10L . . .ish
My 3 litre TD powered 2006 GU with auto gearbox, bullbar, roofracks, 2 inch lift, 33 inch muddies, 3 inch exhaust and a bit of junk in the back gets between 13.2 and 15.8 litres/100kms.
Sometimes, I idle all the way to work.... Haven't really looked into the difference between idling 15kays and doing 60-80km/hr.
Good thread. I believe mine is making around 100km/14L...that's not good!
Haha ... better than mine old mate!! I'd love to be getting 14/100, but alas, I have a camel for a car!!Quote:

finally worked out consumption for my 4.5 on gas running 35s with bout 50/50 mix of high way and city driving was 24.4 ltrs pre 100 dont even wont to know what it would be on petrol
I'm afraid I have to ask a question here in real girlie terms here ;-)
I drive a Nissan Patrol '89, it runs on LPG and petrol.
If I drive it on petrol I only get about 200km out of one tank, sometimes even less. Also, the tank never seems to fill up all the way or at least the indicator never shows it does. Seems to only be 80% full.
LPG seems to last a bit longer but I don't think I could get more that 450km out of both tanks...this is normal everyday driving on sealed roads, no 4wd, no towing, no big loads.
Could someone please tell me if this is normal? I have to admit I have no idea....but I love my car :-)
Thanks guys!
iam getting around 14-15 ltrs i think. did 770kms and filled up with 110ltrs of diesel. that was going from parramatta driving around woolongong through all the hills in kangaroo valley, up through bowral to campbelltown and back home. and also general driving to work and back etc. does this sound good?
its a 89 n/a deisel. with 415000kms on it. has 33s 6"lift bullbar winch custom rearbar. and apparently fuel pump has been turned up by previous owner. wether thats true or not unsure
I’ve worked out some averages for my car so far as I’m curious to see every mod how it affects fuel economy in diffrent situations each one is over 6 tanks of fuel
All test done with bullbar,sliders/brushbars,roof rack, steel rear bar,winch.
90% of the 33"mtz testing was with 1.3ton camper in tow.
33s mtz. With Steinbauer Power Module:
18l/100 - 22l/100
33s mtz. no Steinbauer Power Module:
17l/100 - 21l/100
Original tyres (275 65 r17) with Steinbauer Power Module:
14l/100 - 16l/100
Original tyres (275 65 r17) no Steinbauer Power Module:
14l/100 - 19l/100
my new truck is a 93 ti with the tb42, has 35's on it and no gas. last few tanks around town were between 15-16L/100km. on the highway it used 12L/100km. not too bad as previous owner said it sucks 20L no matter what the conditions are.
maybe he ment how much he drinks per day:1062:
So Bigrig, When are you gonna post up what you had done, as my young bloke has a GQ with the TB42E on dual fuel and his consumption is horrendous, he is saving for some mods to make things better like headers, exhaust, new airbox, and computer, but if you have any other suggestions as to what he can do it would be much appreciated, Cheers.Quote:

Hi , 1991 maverick lwb , td42 , 330,0000 kms .standard spec. just come back from a short trip from Sydney to Hill End about 640kms round trip - loaded with camping gear 2 people , push bikes on roof etc - averaged 12.5 litres /100kms - Not bad for crossing blue mountains there and back.
over fueling slightly - blowing some black smoke on up hill sections - so may be able to improve slightly ?
Cheers .
11.6L/100Km was 12.4 last tank. 30% city/70% hwy
03 ST with ZD30 Di - 142k 0n the clock, 32.5" Coopers, every thing else is standard - no roofrack and no load.
Ok, so I filled main tank today, needle was just above quater - took 71.8l after 722km. So that makes it 9.9l/100!!
300km was around town, 200km highway and 200km hill country of Mt Mee and Blackall Range.
This was done just after an oil change and all the filters and the Maf sensor clean.
I'm happy with that!!! A good benchmark to see what happens as things get added!!

I got an 88 NA diesel with 33" muds and 4" lift, front steel winch bar and 410 000ks so we are pretty similar. I drove from brisbane to cairns and while i can't remember exactly the figures out of the 120 litre tank i can get 800k's with a bit left over. It equaled 12litres per 100 and seems pretty consistent at that figure. I think the pump is stock. I am about to fit a turbo so it will be interesting to see if the engine handles it and what the fuel consumption does.Quote:

These are tested real world figures on 31 inch tyres and no weight in the car expept my 75 kg . if i put the missus in it goes up a bit . Towing 1200-1300 kg from mudgee to sydney which is a hilly run 13.5 litres per 100 k`s , Very happy with it .
2009 GU 4.8L ULP Auto Wagon - 2" lift and 33's - roughly 21L / 100kms - don't even wanna guess what it is towing - getting a 3" pipe fitted next week which should help a bit
2002 4.8L duel fuel getting 23.3l/100km with 2 inch lift on 33s on city driving.
Will need to do a few more tanks yet to confirm but it looks like I have dropped in usage a bit since the new pipes have been put on, somewhere around 19-20L/100 I am guessingQuote:

Went over Thredbo & back last week. Am pulling almost 700 klms out of the main tank! Some quick calcs, it's doing just over 11 ltrs/100 klm. Very happy :)
Hi Forum members we need to help Weetbix with his truck, his fuel figures are woeful. I've asked him to post a new thread so we can all help. 200k per tank is just not on.
I just drove from Sydney - Adelaide - Perth in my 4.8ltr petrol, "06" Its had a cruise control accessory put in which was extremely comfortable however i found it ate more fuel whilst on cruise control. I was chugging through a 90 ltr tank every 400-500kms. I haven't done the sums yet but i will post them soon. Can anyone tell me at what point does the red light indicator come on the fuel guage? When there's 50ltrs or 50 kms left, something like this?? Its the Y61 wagon.
Before engine (RD 28T) rebuild:
City - 16-18 litters
Highway (80-95 km/h) - 14-16
Highway (100-120 km/h) - 20-25
Most economy regime in my shorty in range 1900-2000 rpm. (before turbo work 2200 rpm)
Vehicle without any modifications.
I get around 14l/100km in my guiv 4.2td with 33" 2", llift, steel rear bar, steel front bar and winch and about 100kg in back of the wagon. Had mild tune and running 3" exhaust. My bother with the same vehicle, weight, tyres and lift gets 15.5l/100km.
my zd30 '04 got 7 kms/l under heavy traffic and 10-11 kms/l in highway
2011 3.0 CRD, 20k on clock. Steel bar & winch, rear drawers, fridge, 2" lift, std tyres.
Fully loaded with kids, camping/recovery gear, food & towing camper trailer = 15.5l/100km with cruise control at 95km/hr. Up to 19l/100 if punching it up to 120km/hr (NT roads of course).
Around town & unloaded (still has drawers & fridge in) - 13.5l/100.
Hoping for better figures than that with a few more km & some exhaust mods.
Our 45 petrol/lpg runs around town for .18c per k and .16c per k highway driving.
These costs are for LPG not petrol.
2005, 4.2 TDi, 229k's on the clock Ex Telstra ute with a pod on the back.
Fuel consumption increases when I drive it like I stole it. PML. I'm just starting to monitor fuel consumption and so far, it's just been just under 15l per 100ks.
This varies if the road is wet and if I'm driving on gravel roads (mostly drive in H4), and how much crap I carry in the pod. I've got 'cheesecutters', to motor me along.
Truck weight includes: me, a Steel bull bar, winch, spotties, HF auto tune aerial, 2 x spare tyres, full recovery gear, 95lt Evakool fridge/freezer, 20lts of fresh water and tools.
Pod sticks out about 6" alll round and acts like an anchor in a head wind and the truck handles like a wobby tissue box in a cross wind. lol
I love my truck.
Take care out there.

1992 GQ TB42E wagon, manual. Dual fuel and these figures are for LPG.
Averaging 24.17L/100km, had it as low as 22.14 and as high as 30.88. It has gone down a little since switching to smaller tyres. I reckon I could get it down to 20 if I did only highway driving, I'm going up to Lakes Entrance soon so I will try that out.
I have a 98 4.5L Dual Fuel and achieve 18L per 100K's on Gas and 16L per 100K's on PetrolQuote:
