Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day all,

Just wandering what economy other people are getting on their 80 series 4.5l petrol motor.
I get approx 370 km to 75l around town which I thought seems excessive. This is slightly out (maybe 10%) due to 35" tyres and no speedo correction. I had extractors and exhaust fitted yesterday so I hopefully will see an improvement.

Thanks
Dave

Gday
My auto used to get 20l/100 which is thesame as your figures. (as low as 18/100 on the highway with std tyres)
With 35's on, add 6 % to the kms travelled to get your true economy.

I've got a 1hz and I can get it down to about 11.5L/100. One other guy I know just brought a 100 series petrol, we all told him they were thirsty, but it shocked him just how thirsty it really is

80 series 4.5 and economy shouldnt even be in the same sentence together.....

I eckon u are gittin about right fuel figures

Around town I get about 21.5l / 100km in my auto 4.5. On a recent long trip I got 16.9l / 100km (Sydney to Melbourne without a fuel stop). I run standard size AT tyres.
