1HZ fuel economy.... IM STOKED!!

Post by **slowhilux** » Sat Jan 10, 2004 8:13 pm

I got from Epping, Sydney, to Surfers Paradise today on 114litres of fuel. Thats 885 km. This is with the back full of shit for 2 weeks holiday (1 week on Fraser Isalnd), air con on all the way and 35" tires. Worked out to be about 13L/100km !!!! How good is that for somethiong that probably weighs over 2500kg as is!!!

I was expecting to have to fill up at Grafton or Ballina at the latest, but she just kept on goin!!

What does everyone else get?

THATS BLOODY GREAT FUEL ECONOMY...i get bout the same fuel economy and ive got an 18 year old toyota 3B diesel donk in my middy... and shood get even better mileage once the turbo gets thrown on.... have heard they ca get upto 12 to 14km per litre...... think that works out to be roughly 7 to 8 ltrs per 100km....dont quote me not sure (as the brain aint workin to weel bein so late)

Hoping to pick up my 1HZ motor and gearbox today and install it in the next few weeks so I can get some of that fuel economy.My FJ 73 has a 80 litre tank so Im hoping to get 600+ klms out of it. I want to do a really long trip next xmas.

Just came off Fraser.......worked out to be using about 17.5-18L/100km!! I thought it would be more than that!! Altho, 95% of the island is 2wd :roll:

, only time i needed 4wd was at Indian head where the sand was deep and soft.......quite amusing watching everyone geting bogged.....got a fair bit of that on video. brand new 100 series TD, pulled up next to me and stopped, had a yarn, he laughed at people getting stuck, he went to take off, sunk, down to the chassis rails :lol:

. He told me he was "OK", so i said "No worries", and took off....what a dickhead.....
