Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys just curiuos on what milige people are getting out of there GQ's
i have a 89 GQ LWB dual fuel 4.2 and am getting about 350 out of a 90litres of gas and about 400 out of a 70 litre tank of petrol is this about right.

I have been told these are real thirsty and just want to see if this is comparable to everyone else

I have a 93 dx on duel fuel, I get about 350 - 360 kms out of 80 litres of gas. As far as fuel goes I get about 380 kms out of a 58 litre tank. This is a combo of highway and city kms

cool i dont feel so bad then

are you running stock?

I am only running with 2" lift and 32" BFG mt's

yep this is about exactly wat im getting from my SWB.

But im getting about 350kms out of 40 litres of petrol
LPG is spot on though...

about $35 for 350kms

screwy

Yep, I am pretty much stock, 2" susp lift, unfortunately running only 31" coopers (hoping to upgrade shortly). I do have a 3/4 roof rack on full time which may stuff things up a bit.

The one thing that I have found really helped the running performance was the day after I had a piranha electronic time system fitted to essentially do away with the points.

Ive got 3" lift, run 31's during the week, have LPG leads, MSD Coil, Iridium plugs, Elec Points, K&N Filter. And I get about 400 - 450Km to nearly 80Litres of Gas. (Mixed driving)

Not sure on Petrol, very rarly run through a full tank of that stuff.

all that gear on ur motor would be giving u that exta 50- 100kms.

i am on 33's with 2 inch coils and get 360 MAX from full tank of gas which is about 80 litres.

screwy

well i tested it today driving to adelaide got 450 kms out 70 litres of petrol the first 150 were city driving

then the suprising 90 litres of gas i currently at 440 km's and still running so i am now not sure what the hell is going on.

THATS UN REAL DUDE

I made a mistake with my prior statement.

I got 360kms MAX outa a tank of LPG with the 31s on and no air.

with the 33's on im struggling to get 310kms outa a tank.....
If i turn the A/C on thats now installed, im lucky to get about 260kms


this is in an SWB

Im driving down the melbourn on wednesday so will be able to test it properly on highway cruising and see how i go

U guys are lucky... I only get 350km MAX from 80 odd litres of PETROL! Ouch!

Ok I have a 92 Mav with a 147L Tank, and get about 700-750km's off of ~110L of Petrol at best

I run 33" mud tyres with a 3" lift and use a finer filter with snorkel, full length off road roof rack as well.

Ok been to melbourne and come back......

I was only getting 250kms outa 85litres of LPG MAX....
the lowest i got was on the wat home and it was 190kms outa 85litres of LPG.....
i was towing close to around 800kgs at a guess on the way back and about 500 on the way down.......
but still ya get the idea.... I NEED A TUNE

Thats pretty damn good. Almost unbeleivable.

750/110 = 6.81 km/L or 14.6 L/100 or 19.23mpg

Other similar spec GQ's are getting 22L/100 here....

im running 35s with 4.1 gears

i averaged 21.5L per hundred on the highway on lpg

thats precise to the decimal point. (auto trans also)

what that is per tank i havent figured out (suppose to be a 92L tank)

around town its closer to 30.

i want to get rid of that restrictive air intake and fit up some extractors and zorst.

i had iridiums but i replaced them when i fitted the gas

its the efi motor also so it runs the diffent ignition,

i only get about 300 kms to 400 kms on 75ltrs of gas and worked out that i get 20lts per 100 kms on petrol

Well the return trip was identical other than i got 465km out of the petrol all highway driving.


can some one please post the maths behind the calculations if possible

I have a GQ efi running duel fuel with 265/75/16's I get 400 ks on 84 lt of gas city driving. When I put the play tyres on 285/75/16's I get about 350 ks due to the extra drag.
On petrol I have a 45 lt tank and get 200 ks if I drive it easy.

can some one please post the maths behind the calculations if possible

Here's the maths:

I just did 400km on 63 litres of petrol with 285/75 16 muddies on my 91 Mav wagon on the highway. Not too bad.

Thats about the same for mine, SWB, carby tb42.

Poor Kms range.

SOME of you guys need to get your speedo's calibrated....

i agree

when i had 31s and 3.9s = 450-500km outta 100litres gas.

now 33s and 4.6s = 300-350 outta 100 litres

.....I was taking into account my trip meter is out by 10%, otherwise my reading would have been 10% less, my speedo reads 10% slower with the 33's

....but I did also say 'at best' my driving habits can severely alter this depends on my mood

with my spedo now

35s are accurate
33s spedo is about 10% faster than speed actually traveling

currently on 33" roadies

on way down the melbourne i went under those speed indicator digital signs down from wodonga......

mine read 103kms and i was sitting at 100kms on the speedo

thats with 33x12.5 BF muds......

i think if i go to like 110kms on speedo the display further on was reading somthing like 115kms
