war? Pff, theres no competition. Be more like a massacre

Offroad rocky wins hands down. Even if u put IFS v IFS models, Rocky's got TD, roza only comes with petrol. There's a reason there's more roza's for sale than rocky's

BTW i get about 10-11L/100kms. I don't think roza's are a great deal better.

Feroza will vary 10 - 14l/100km, depending on driving style, traffic, tyre size, etc.

In reality, you said you would be towing. I don't think a Feroza is the best option.

They are a good car but also have lack of aftermarket parts availability.

If you decide on the smaller Feroza, even look into a Suzuki or that type of thing. I still think you can;t go past a diesel for towing and offroad.

don't ask me what the figures are as i have come off night shift so i am tired as all shit but i get about 500 to 550 out of a tank and i know that i do have a problem still with my EFI i am also running oversized tyres on my roza good year muddies.
Let me know if you want more information.

Please do not fill this thread with useless CRAP! (Sorry Chris that isn't directed at you! )

My Feroza gets around 10.5 l / 100km in the suburbs with 235/75R15 tyres, using 98 octane fuel.

People with worse econonmy figures are usually running tyres a lot bigger than standard.

The larger the tyre and the more lift the worse my economy gets....

Started around 10ltr/100 k on the highway and worse around town

Now about 10.5 to 11 but the engine was at the end of its life.

10.5 to 11 per hundred, i wish i could compare my fuel usage with 500ml incriments

do enought long trips and it becomes obvious....

My Feroza here in the Philippines has a fuel consumption of 10km/L in city traffic in Manila. In long drives or highway it runs on figures 12km/L to 15km/L.

Here in the Philippines we use 93octanes for Unleaded gasolines.

just did a really nice long run upto cooktown which is about 400 clicks north of where i live and got there ran around in cooktown did all up 500k's b4 i had to fuel up and still had a small amount of fuel left that was out of 50litres i have never gotten that good. THe following day i spent driving north to play at a place called cape flattery in the sand dunes its great fun but thought i would need more fuel whilst i was up there got up and back on half tank 250k/s most of it was hard going in silica sand.

my fatroza has a 118lt tank,on along trip at 100km/ph
she gets around 470klm..i rekon the V6 commadore &
37" claws arnt the best combo...but what a ride!!!!!!!
check it out in the latest DIRT COMP magazine

Very similar fuel economy around 10L/100km for both. You would probably get better out of the later model Turbo Intercooled Rocky's (Mine was non turbo 2.8)

You don't if your fanging it on boost all day long

Absolute worst economy I can get is 450km to a 60Ltank.
It will get 600km if you drive it like a normal diesel, but with my short trips all the time (<5km) to uni and work it suffers a touch.. and I like revving her a bit.

mine is kinda embarassing. in untuned turbo form i get about 15-17ltrs - 100k's.
i really need to get a tuneable engine management system!

That's got to hurt, you could be driving a V8 for that! LOL

haha. yea. once i sort a fuel managment set-up i will be right.

You should get a signifcant power increase if it's running that rich too!

not necassarly, you can run too rich (which it does in the lower rev range) which can infact loose you HP. it runs real rich until ~4800rpm where it leans out and pings.

I meant if it's running rich and you reduce it so the mixture is leaner you'll gain more power.
