    I heard that those hiclones are a great match with those electric superchargers

    TB42 and economy are mutually exclusive.

    mmm i guess it's a relief to hear that my terrible economy is merely "normal"..!! i get about 350-370km out of a 90L tank of LPG on my carby 88 maverick. am having a few problems with it at the moment though, might have to take it to a gas mechanic for a tune up.

    this is my first 4wd, is economy like this par for the course?? would i get much better on something else of similar vintage like a petrol 80 series?? how much better would a turbo-diesel be??

    Petrol 80.. Same.

    If you want efficiency you have 2 choices. Buy a prius or a diesel.
