Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys.

I was wondering if any one had any ideas for getting better economy from my 99 4.5ltr GU. Currently average 18 - 20lt/ 100

I have a snorkel and K&N filter already. Run 285/75r16 mud tyres and only 2inch of lift. Other than that bog stock

I have heard mixed responses about exhaust modifications.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Yes I know the best option would be a diesel motor but the budget doesn't allow for it at the moment.

Cheers

i fitted a ls1 fuel economy and power went up signifently.

just get some all terrians for on road ina bit smaller to so ur engine does not have to work to hard

Have u thought of gas and yeah prolly go smaller road tyres if its that bad

Turbo it park it in the garage and buy a prius to go to work in
OR
Pull 2 injector leads off , it may be under powered but can save fuel .
OR
Something constructive , gas injection ! the only way I can think of to make it cheaper to run as these things always drink no matter what you do

Thanks for the hints guys much appreciated.

Cheers

Snorkel and exhaust go hand in hand. A dyno tune and chip might help too.

I looked pretty seriously at a 4.8 last year, and to be honest 18L/100 seams pretty good for them. If you search my topic on 4.8 patrol fuel useage, some people were getting 30+/100 with mods, and average was 20-25L/100

You could always try a hiclone

We chip and fit exhaust when combined with premium 98 fuel get conservativly 15% more economy and power.
