92 GQ on dual fuel... fuel tank somehow keeps increasing capacity?????

[taslucas]

100km/35l was on petrol. I reckon LPG was higher. Also LPG was about $1.10 a litre here so it wasn't working out very economical. When I set up for dedicated petrol I had more power and used less fuel. But yes, dual can be fine if tuned just right.

Yeah, but 100km/35L is not good fuel economy on petrol either. I mean, whether it's a TB42 or RB30, getting under 3km for a litre of petrol is not good.
Besides, there's not much difference between RB30 & TB42 when it comes to petrol economy, or is there a difference?!
I'm guessing carby TB42's are probably bit thirstier, but should be a fair bit better than 100km/35L, shouldn't it?

My old tb42e averaged out at 20l/100, only ever on petrol.... best was 17, worst was alot more......... and to be honest I never bought the thing for its ability to sip fuel

Yeah it needed a tune up for sure but I can't emphasise the "heavy foot" enough. The op's figures of 15 litres petrol per 100 are really good.

yep thats td42 territory

Hmmmm... you should usually get a fair bit more economy from a TD42 than 100km/15L, should it not??!!

I get around 6km/L on petrol on mine(RB30). LPG economy is about the same, except LPG usually cost a fair bit less than petrol(in Melbourne).

Nope not much more mate, mine sits around 14l/100

Sounds like it's about time you put the foot down and see what the Rb has got!

Yep.
It doesn't give me that much economy on suburban/city driving though, but I rarely use the Patrol as a commuter. It's for trips only, unless I get desperate. I ride a bike for day to day stuff.
I know RB30 is built for revving high to get enough torque to pull through, yet I'm bit skittish when it comes to rev the crap out of it, unless of course i'm pissed off about something(which usually doesn't happen during trekking, )
