I've got a 3.9 Rangie on Gas. 32's but 110 gearing in t/case. I get about 22 - 25 litres per 100km around town, depending on traffic.

Towing, trailer maybe weighs 500kg, camping stuff and kids I'm lucky to get 150 km out of a 54 litre LPG tank.

Still not too expensive to run considering price of LPG but if you want touring range, get a diesel. PITA filling up LPG tank all the time.

Hopefully more reliable than my rangie...

I have recently had the new gas injection system put on the D2.......and I am impressed.

I am constantly getting around 19-20l/100km around town and about 17l/100km on the highway. This does increase a bit too much for me when towing but I think it needs the mapping changed a bit. I get about 24l/100km when towing a 1T camper trailer.
Thanks,

Adam
