Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Can anyone give me a rough estimate on what the fuel consumption is in the 1998 2.8L turbo diesel patrol, im hopefully picking one up 2morrow if it wont cost me big $$ to run it.

Many thanx for your help

Cheers

my old man was getting about 650 with some fuel to spare, on 35's, and 6" lift, but depends how your gunna drive it,

I've had my 2.8 now for two years, and have to confess am very impressed with it's economy. It'll leave a 4.2 for dead, and even give a 3 litre a bloody good run for it's money.
Course with gas fumigation fitted and a 2 1/2 inch straight thru exhaust system, it helps considerbly.
If economy is your main criteria with a 4wd, you'd find it hard to beat a 2.8. IMHO.

Best I ever got or at least when i worked it out is 7.8Km/L or 12.75L/100km this is around town, now this is me driving with BB Turbo and fuel chip.

On the highway providing you stay on 110km you will easily get 10Km/L and easily get 1000km out of a tank.

I have a 6in lift and 33s , i cant grt any better than 14ltrs per hundred , may need a tune up

I get around 11-12ltres per hundred with no roofrack and about 13-14 lires per hundred with it on. Never ever had 10s. I'm about to do 3,500 kms from Melb to the Flinders Ranges and up the Strezlecki and then down the Silver City Hwy with a 3lt Prado and a 2.8 Jeep KJ will be an interesting comparo over those distances.

Now that i think about it, not being in the morning and able to do some math, 10s would be pushing it (maybe if you slipstreamed a truck), but it definately possible to get easily over 1000km's out of a tank (125L) when mostly highway use.

about 650ish to 700 & add another 200 for the sub tank for around town & hwy use. all up around 900 to 1000kms range all up on the hwy sitting around 100 to 110 ish anything much quicker u can watch the fuel gauge drop
