Ive got a 3.5 classic rangie on gas and with me 33s and a camper on the back Im lucky to get 300km to a 80l tank.
. Needs after market engine management and some decent tune.

I've got a 3.9 Rangie on Gas. 32's but 110 gearing in t/case. I get about 22 - 25 litres per 100km around town, depending on traffic.
Towing, trailer maybe weighs 500kg, camping stuff and kids I'm lucky to get 150 km out of a 54 litre LPG tank.
Still not too expensive to run considering price of LPG but if you want touring range, get a diesel. PITA filling up LPG tank all the time.

I have recently had the new gas injection system put on the D2.......and I am impressed.
I am constantly getting around 19-20l/100km around town and about 17l/100km on the highway. This does increase a bit too much for me when towing but I think it needs the mapping changed a bit. I get about 24l/100km when towing a 1T camper trailer.
