is that 750 out of the main tank or out of both tanks? with 5" lift and 35's, I get easy 1100km out of both tanks (about 11 - 12 litres/100km) , town or highway doesn't matter, but pushing it hard (redlining every gear, cruising at 125, towing etc) it goes up to a max of 14l/100km ('96 factory turbo diesel, 185,000km)

When I drive our 80 series I get a bit over 14L / 100K on petrol.

Converted to part time 4wd which gained more power and saved some fuel.

1995 model onwards had the upgrade with newer dash, updated seat trim, CD player etc.
Cheers.......4by.

80 series

Post by DR Frankenstine »

I drove/borrowed DAZ 80 series 4.5 petrol and it is modded a little with 35's on and found it suprisingly good on fuel (compared to what i expected).

80series petrol

Post by 4x4chrissy »

How much are they looking at paying? I'm selling one with similar specs, 95 model with slightly lower ks
Tend to agree with the figures around 16 cruising and as bad as 22 leadfooting around town. Just watch out for the earlier non-fuel injected models, bit thirstier.
