L28 Fuel consumption

Post by Big Red Toy »

Only intersested in L28's.
What sort of horrible figures do other's get out of their L28 powered patrols? Mine just guzzles down fuel, but its not a Daily drive so i don't worry anymore. Also What size tyres contribute to your scary fuel usage's?

I have been getting around 12-13L/100km on open road. Thats with Extractors and Weber on 31" H/T's. I never really pay attention to what it uses driving in any other conditions.

Some where around the $20 mark or over
Really depends on the price of LPG at the time.
That's also runnin 31s
The gas tank was mid mounted so even thinking about gettin one put under the Petrol tank after the lift to get double out of it, but would have to find out if the thing could handle it first. Don't want to break things.

But is that taking into consideration that your speedo would be reading considerably lower with the increase in tyre diameter.

Me not complaining about running it on LPG, its the same as me running on :morning: :morning:

Its cheaper to run that the Mrs Toyota Seca on petrol, so the MQ is also the daily driver :P

So would running larger feet give me better fuel econ or worse?? :puppydogeyes:
