Hello from Under Down Under!
That is highway driving though. Around town with a light right foot it's about 20-22 and I get 30 as soon as it goes into low range! LOL

Wow, blokes. Those figures show that the RB30s does a bloody good job. If the gearbox was engineered a bit tougher the package would be the ducks nuts, with a dedicated gas system and turbo fitted.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
Bloody hell! My tb48 gets around 18/100 fully loaded.. In fact loaded or unloaded, towing/not towing doesn't seem to make muxh of a difference which makes no sense to me at all.
LPG around town is 30/100 highway 23/100.
Of course I can make it use more....
Dedication gas and turbo will make a heap of difference on either engine.
Two mates have the rb30 here, one is on 33's, stock carby and not in the best of tune, the other is on 35's with a holley and kept tuned beautifully. They both use a heap of fuel. I guess even on the bitumen here its all hills and corners.

Yeah but it had no power on petrol either, it ran well on gas and got 20L/100km on the gas on a highway run
That's because you drive like miss daizy....... ;-)

Good thing about that weekend I wasnt paying for the fuel.
A gazillionaire footed the bill for 6 4x4's all fuel, meals and some drinks for the whole weekend
Poor chick at the Mobil in Moe was having a fit when the bowser ticked over $1200, that was until the platinum AMex
