Fuel consumption / economy report

[TuffTD42]

91 GQ TD42, GT2871 turbo running 18psi, 3" exh, pump timing advanced & fuel turned up 6" lift running 35's. Around town driving all different ways i.e normal mixed with giving it a hard time 14ltr/100klm or 20.18mpg. I'm off to QLD to visit relo's over Easter so I'll get back with some figures for the trip as it'll be it's first trip since turbo & 35's being fitted.

Those figures seem a bit high

My Usuage is 18.5 Litres per 100 on Gas on a trip and around town 22 Litres per 100 k's same on Petrol
Roofy and Katrol are about the same.

With your 33" Tyres is your Speedo correct because putting on larger tyres you are actually covering more distance than your Speedo is saying and will affect Fuel Usuage

How long has your Patrol had a tune. Mine is tuned more for Gas Use and therefore one of the reasons better Gas consumption than yours

Thanks Bob - I've just had it serviced and a bit of a tune up, so will keep an eye on the consumption over the next few weeks! Cheers.

Figures from yesterday - 15.3 lph on petrol and 18.9 lph on gas!! Stoked with those numbers!! This is the same vehicle that was struggling to crack 23-24 lph on petrol when I got it and 25-26 lph on gas!! Persistence and proper tuning through someone who knows what they are doing (Derek, not me!! LOL!!) is worth every penny. Average price for 95 unleaded is now around $1.40 up here, so that equates to at least $11.20 per hundred klms cheaper on petrol - considering I do about half half between the two and do about 25000 klms per year, that's a saving of at least $1400 per year just on petrol!!!

Hello, My Patorl 2,8 TDI `94 is consume 13 l/100km.

Hiya, around town my TB45S with manual tranny gives between 25-27l/100km. Out of town things improve somewhat with figures of 18-20l/100km! Tyres currently 235/85R16s, equivalent roughly to 32".

Done my trip & got 13l/100klm on the way up not sparing the horses either. Towed a 7x4 off road box trailer back that I'd bought whilst up there & got 14l/100klm on the return trip also not sparing the horses. Might have to drive miss daisy on the next trip & see what the figures are then.
