what fuel Consumption are you guys getting with or without Turbo's

before my Turbo..... highway trip im getting

Code: Select all

 1981 BJ42 3B 75Ltank 650-680km 

on highway sitting on 100km-105km..i did this by not putting me boot down hard on hills.......not checked out fuel Consumption with turbo on long trip

[shorty_f0rty]

i reckon i average approx 12l/100km with no turbo.. about 500kms to a 60l tank.

Hi there

proir to lending the BJ73 to the wife - and she cooked the 3b engine.

The fuel consumption figures I was getting was 75lt diesel - would approx get 400-500km.

What sort of fuel figures should you get out of these vehicles?

Many thanks
