Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just a Question as the title says lookin at buying a 94 4.5L petrol 80s 260,000klms Manual if anybody owns one how thirsty are they and when buying one what too look out for in that model

I beleive that they are fairly thirsty.
My mothers old one got abit over 650klm range out of hers.

edit

mines a munal 128k
15-16 highway
16-20 around town
on the lower sides driving smart.
higher sides, if not higher if you like to take off with your foot to the floor.

i used to drive the olds auto petty 80 when i was on my P's, got 22L/100km if u don't drive it like a WRX tho, it's not so bad

Depends on how modded it is.....

I used to get 16 - 18 out of mine now its like mid 20's

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)

yes he was, but MadCruiser's is a diesel and his economy is shocking!

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.

thanks everyone for the info keep it comin please

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).

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.

Dumbdunce,

That is with both tanks..... i know it's shocking, need to go to 4.55 gears and a turbo
