Yeh I am, its an RB30 and gets around 17 litres per 100 k's, its on 31's though.

I'm running dual fuel, but on petrol only ('90 4.2 carb) I get 20L/100k with a 4 and a bit inch lift, 33" MT's at 110 ish km/h. (and 4.1 diffs)

Sorry, I forgot a couple of things with the RB30 that may be relivent, it has a 2" suspension lift, long range fuel tank 150 lt, ARB steel winch bar (no winch), rear kaymar bar, and a set of home made draws and a fat bastard driving it, so it is a bit heavier than a standard patrol.

Cheers
