NJ Pajero 3.5L DOHC manual 31s

15L/100 regardless of town, country, empty or loaded, always the same.

80 Series 1HDFT manual 285s and all the fruit and weight

town + country = 11L/100
towing = 14L/100

05 XR6t auto with 400hp

town = 15L/100
country = 8.5L/100


WQ Fiesta 1.6L manual

town + country = 7.5L/100


Gives a bit of comparison for petrol and diesel and power vs no power :)

Makes me feel a bit better reading this.

I'm averaging 20L/100km around town and highway, with a supercharged V8 and 33" tyres. BUT, that's on LPG :armsup:

So with gas in my area sitting around 1/3 the cost of normal unleaded, the cost is the equivalent of ~7L/100km on petrol :cool:

We should go cruising through the city and see how many alarms get set off lol! Am missing my rear resonator at the moment and the little 1UZ has a tendancy to sound rather big with a 3" single :armsup:

Speedo error and odometer error are not the same.
Many cars have the speedo set to read 5% more than the odometer. That means drive at indicated 100km/h for an hour and the odo reads 95km.

Im betting they arent.

Im also betting some peoples caculators are broken too...
I heard one bloke with a 4.8 Patrol saying he got 9's regularly :rofl: :lol: :lol: :lol: :rofl: . Maybe on a tilt tray...
I've got tyres that are 3" taller than stock but i've installed the correct speedo gear into the t/case. I had to do this after i did ratios because my speedo was out about 60klm/hr... cruising at 100klm (by the gps) my dash said i was doing 160klm/hr :shock: :lol: Since i had the ratios done i'm getting 2-3L/100klm better economy. On the other hand my mate with his 4.8L patrol can get his down to about 22L/100klm on a good day. We went up the beach recently and he was getting 35-40L/100klm on the beach whereas i was on about 15-16l/100klm although the jeep weighs half his patrol and isn't auto...

cheers
