Are these HWY figures and what size Tyres please.
When Bob wakes up he'll be able to tell you if you're in the ballpark or not. lol
Sound ok.
Tyre size is just for survey I'm doing on the side, Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,TD
That's pretty damn good mate! Not many people will get better than that
If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
That is about what I get out of my 98 4.5L GU
Very economical on Gas and Gas is about 58c a Litre in Bendigo at present
Pretty close to what I get too.
Works cheap to drive the patrol on gas than my ba falcon on petrol
Im getting around 24 L of LPG with 31 tyres. I know guys who are getting worse out of the 4.5's
Yeah i have a nissan maxima and running costs for the 4,5 and the maxima are about the sameQuote:

25l/100km city/highway. 30+ in low range. New mixer, valves done, dyno and two different lpg mechanics. I know autos use a bit more but ...

Just got my gu 98 auto last week been towing a car trailer with building supplies on it from sydney to central coast & i have just worked it out @ 12l per100ks its heaps better than my adventra v6 but not as good as my 02 v6 rodeo its on dual. But the 09 nav d22 2.5 td gets 14ltrs per 100 towing a 22ft van
yeah pretty good. you'd be getting over 450 k's per tank on lpg if you have the same size 88 litre tank as me. id say its hwy ks as i get the same from mine in hwy with 33's. what do you get in city on lpg Alex....Quote:

Im getting about 25/100 on petrol, and about 22 on gas. mine direct injection with a faulty injector. With 33's and 2" lift in an auto.
Im getting 13 - 14 / 100 on the freeway and 17 - 18 / 100 city. Stock everything on 265's a/ts using 98 RON. My goal would be 9 -10 freeway and 13 - 14 city but i don't think that will happen with the 4.5, i was going to try and better my economy with an exhaust, snorkel and air filter/ box upgrade buy haven't had a chance to do anything lol.
Just returned from a Camping Trip towing a Jayco Dove Camper Van
450 K's and used 107 Litres of LPG and that is 23.87/100 K's at a cost of $64.24 and that equates to 14.276 cents per Kilometre
Gotta be happy with that Bob..... :)Quote:

Do you run a tank of petrol through every now and then? Do you use a valve lubricant? How often do you do the valve clearances?
thanks in advance.
I run a Tank of Petrol through every 4/5 Tanks of GasQuote:
