Only intersested in L28's.
What sort of horrible figures do other's get out of their L28 powered patrols? Mine just guzzles down fuel, but its not a Daily drive so i don't worry anymore. Also What size tyres contribute to your scary fuel usage's?

Dunno figures, but I drove from Ringwood to Mildura on about 85L of Gas and 1/4ish tank of Petrol on 35s

cheers

I have been getting around 12-13L/100km on open road. Thats with Extractors and Weber on 31" H/T's. I never really pay attention to what it uses driving in any other conditions.

On 31's the consumption is ok, but sence i put the 35's its around 300 to 350.

Some where around the $20 mark or over
Really depends on the price of LPG at the time.
That's also runnin 31s
The gas tank was mid mounted so even thinking about gettin one put under the Petrol tank after the lift to get double out of it, but would have to find out if the thing could handle it first. Don't want to break things.

But is that taking into consideration that your speedo would be reading considerably lower with the increase in tyre diameter.

well the figures on LPG sound quite good :cool:

If I don't get a chance to say it myself - good luck at trials.

Thanks bloke :cool:

Mere,

Those figures sound quite good. I wouldnt be complaining

Me not complaining about running it on LPG, its the same as me running on :morning:

Its cheaper to run that the Mrs Toyota Seca on petrol, so the MQ is also the daily driver

So would running larger feet give me better fuel econ or worse?? :puppydogeyes:
