Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im looking at getting either a 1.3l Zook, or a 2.8TD Rocky and was wondering what I could expect out of the Zook engine when it comes to economy. If people could post there average economy it would be a great help.

Cheers,

Damo.

I get about 300 to 350kms to the sh1tty little tank and i have a 16v 1600 vitara in my sierra. If that helps

tyres ?????
depending wat tyres you run !!!!!
with bog stok (go cart tyres) , I used to get anywhere between 390 - 450 ks out the stock tank !!!!!
the bigger the tyres & also the higher you lift (aerodynamics) , the less k,s !!!!!! :wink:

well mate like moose said the bigger the tyres the less k's youll get i get anywhere from 350-450 depending what sorta driving im doing and how much i flog it but pretty economical tho.

I get around 350k's to a tank. That is flat knacker everywhere and it loves it. Have tried to drive conservative and get a good number of k's up but can't help myself.

due to our new drakonian speed laws and my speedo being somewhat inaccurate .. I have been sitting around the 85 Kph mark on my speedo ( abot 94 95 Pph really) I have been getting around 10 litres per 100Kms with SPOA warmed 1.6 and 31's .. normally I drove it foot to the floor everywhere .. was getting about 5 Kms per litre .. who would have guessed

iget get about 9-10 km/L this doesn't usually change much unless I'm 4wding in which I loose a bit of fuel out of my $hit lockable fuel cap so I wouldn't really know.

hey, i got a 94 sierra and at the moment i am only getting around 300 km to a tank. i dont drove it to easly but if i was to drive it around like a bitch all day it might grab a few more km than that.

Ok I don't know what you girls a on about I'm on about 300kms around town in a 1.6 EFI Vitara






















and thats on standard gearing and with the












































air con running all the time HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

does the vit have a bigger tank?

yep 55 lt but mine is about 50 lt at the moment so I have sh1t fuel economy

Dents are a beautiful thing !!!!!!!

no moe dents in the tank unless the tank guard fails

EEP TJ gets 350km to a 70lt tank!

fuel economy, whats that?

I agree, 300km is a godsend.

Lucky you, my aircon doesn't work :( don't know what's with it... taking the car in this week (still under warranty though).

My 1.6lt Grand Vitara Soft-Top is doing between 450 and 500kms per 50lts... (running on an automatic transmission)

The tank is 55 but I have the habit of fuelling up when it gets to "E"!

Just out of curiosity, dad's Daihatsu Charade will actually go almost 1/4 of a tank below "E" before it becomes evident you should really be idling your way to the next gas station... at least it's plenty of warning!

when I had stock tyres on recently, with stock gearing, modified 1.3ltr engine and a very heavy right foot I was getting around 320-350 out of a very dinted fuel tank.

it only holds about 27ltrs.

that was also running BP Ultimate.

How many liters does a standard sierra tank hold?

40L in a pre-dented state

Soft-top is 42 litres....

I was lucky to get 25 in mine and half of that was leaking out..... Thank god for new tanks.....

Dunno what my range is but it improved by about as much as my ground clearance was disadvantaged byt the new tank and tank protector.

Since I never drive much on road I dunno what fuel economy I get

Wohoo... with "normal driving" managed an average of 8.5... 480kms on 41lts of fuel this weekend... man, I was stressing! Thought the needle was stuck so I stopped for a fill-up!

That's about the same (real) economy as a Daihatsu Terios! Weeeeeee
