Mine has 320k on it and it has been on gas for the last 100k. My last tank got me 380km and used 88L, which was stop/start during the week for work and mostly highway on weekend.

ive got about 230000ish on mine and gets about the same , im running 35's with auto and 4.3 diffs

as for reliability , ive replaced my radiator and fan hub , ive had it for around 4-5 years very reliable , only down fall was getting it put on gas by someone that has no idea how to do a job properly (how he has a gas certificate is beyond me ) but if i payed only $10000-11000 for it id be stoked ( i payed 26000 stock standard ) and being on gas is still cheaper than running a diesel just restricted to shorter trips (the red centre is out)

cheers Jai

My 4.5 on duel fuel has 300,000 ks and i have had very good reliability. Only replaced front engine seal, was easy. Now needs rear axle seals (not so easy) at 300,000. i have a factory fitted gas system stamped same date as vehicle manufacture. I get about 300 ks around town with standard size rubber. Range is a problem unless the sub tank has been replaced with a long range after market. About $900 fitted. Also it will be required to adjust valve clearances every now and then, when you notice a bit of ticking. (i give mine hell and have had no problems).

they are a good car and that is pretty cheap, they do suck the fuel tho. LPG or deep pockets!!! :)

but yeah they are reliable.
