4.8 on road will give between 17 and 25 L/100km - depends how you drive. Mine returns between 19 and 22 and I am not gentle with the accelerator.

So work out :-
1. How much is Crapota
2. What fuel consumption in Crapota
3. What Oil consumption in Crapota (Yes big probelms here with them drinking oil)
4. How much is new engine if I forget to check 3
5. How much is Patrol 4.8
6. How much fun is Patrol 4.8
What you guys have to remember is where towing our 3.5t house around all over australia for an extended ammount of time. f
Feul economy is likely to be around the 10-15 litres per 100 better & we'll probably to a good 100-150 000 klms like that so it does make a difference. I love patrols & if the house wasn't so big then we wouldn't be having this conversation, but there the facts.
