Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My "96 coilly with 235/75R15 Goodyear MTR's, standard gearing, extractors 2" exhaust, unifilter and unadjusted speedo does exactly 10L per 100km no matter what. I drive it flat out all the time, rev the tits off it every gear change and drive at 100+ on fway. If I baby it can get heaps more but is too painful for the extra dollars I would save. I only ever drived to E, so is 30L to fill and get 300km's.

Over 500km to a tank ?? sounds good but once I cort a fish Thi..............................................................................................s big!!

when I had my Ex's Zuk with a rebuilt F10a in it (970 cc's or raw powa) I could easily get 500 out of a tank. That truck was stock, with the exception of extractors (rest of the system was factory) even had the factory radio in it ..

When i was running my zuk on 7.00 x 16 SATs and stock gearing I was getting 400kms regardless if I was on or off road.

Now with thhe 5k, 34" Swampers, S3 it gets about 275 -300kms (when it is on the road)

leded, unleded, primium (by the way i think ive had that problem with the BP ultimat cloging the idle) or gas i wont bother asking dissil unless some ones shohornd in an izuzu or similar

90 hardtop with 215 desert duelers, extractors and 2" exhaust I get ~8.5km/litre with BP ultimate. If I put in standard unleaded I get ~7-7.5km/litre.

With an unadjusted speedo that works out to roughly 230-250km on a full tank (holds atleast 38L) but is probably closer to 290-320 proper km's.

I generally change gears around 3800-4000rpm.

I've been keeping records of all petrol stops for the last 2 years. I used to get better mileage on my old carby (8.5km/L to 9.5km/L depending on RON) but since the reco carby was put on its dropped. Think they havent adjusted it properly, since the spark plugs are sooty and exhaust is slowly covering the garage floor in crap as well.

1.3, Extractors, 2" exhaust, 29"s does about 12L/100km



My fuel tank is modded to ~30L.

mine- 93 lwb vitara with 1.6litre 16valve efi motor

stock (55litre tank), would get just over 500kays

now (exo, other shiat, 30's and 32's) i get just over 400 on the odometer, so probably 430odd real kays. (tank will only accept 46litres now as well)

85, lwb, 1.3, 40lt tank

370k's to a tank

85 drover with 8v carb vit moter with 1.3 carb and a home made 90 lt home made fuel tank. 450km from 90lt pulp

Worked 1.3 (cam head work balanced bottom end hii-compresion slugs) and a webber, extractors, i used to get 13l/110km that was with totaly standard gearing and 32's and doing 4000rpm @100km but if im in town driving round hard, i can get about 23L/100km my prmarys were set for cruzin and secondrys for bruit power... all 1.3 ltrs of it

Condition: Stock, (the exception of a K&N airfilter)
Work Done: Rebuilt carby 3000km's ago (just prior to purchase)
Kilometage: 8L to 100km or rather 12.5 km's to a 1l

Future Plan's: Cultus Swap hopefully resulting in less than 10l per 100k

SWB Vitara, 1.6L 8V, Weber carby, extractors, 2" exhaust, hi-flo cat and muffler, 33"MT/Rs, Stock Box and Transfer, 5.12s

250 max out of 35L. and my tank is near perfect. i might be able to get 300, but i can never bring myself to drive slo in my vit.

usually the average is about 220kms per tank.

and i think my speedo reads 15km/h slower than i am actually travelling. i thought i left the maths back in high school. oh well.

1.3 lt coily
Toy diffs 4.8's
No exhaust after the cat.
33BFG's
8" Susp/body lift
a-frame rear
Series 1 rockhopper
ARB bar, sliders and roll bar
+ an extra 33" in the rear.
220ks'
33lt tank (Customised it with a tree and a few rocks)

Stock engine. Clocked up 216k. Is burning oil at a rate of about 1-2L per 500km. Probably will need a rebuild or just be replaced sometime soon.

Gets between 10-14L / 100km, depending on conditions.

But that was with the throttle not opening fully. Now it pretty much opens completely. So I'm anticipating much worse fuel consumption.

Running on premium, 95 RON by the way. Timing is factory setting, recently replaced plugs, new oil and fairly new oil filter. New air filter, new oil in the diff, gearbox and transfer. Yet no massive improvement in fuel economy or performance. My engines probably become a pig with age.

Thats running with pretty much stock everything, HT tyres. Pulling a bit of extra weight in the form of towbar, rollbar and bull bar. But then I did some "weight reduction", took out the backseat for added performance. Nah just for extra room.

10 kms / 1 litre is the norm for my Sierra
Stock 1.3
130,000 on the clock
Running 215x75x15 BFG MT's
Optimax
Mobil 1
That's about it.
kms don't really differ that much on or off road.
Normally don't like to run more than 360km before I go looking for a petrol bowser though.

Mine is a bog stock 91 Vit Hartop.

Best I got was 330 with all freeway on premium fuel.

I hope to go from standard tyres to 30.5 soon and hope the fuel doesn't get worst.

My tank is dintfree, carby need fixing though.
