wondering if any one has economy figures of a gq with efi holden v8 and 35" tyres also 5 speed manual and standard diff gearing.
Thinking of doing a conversion because the highway economy really sucks. @ 22l per 100k's
cheers.

if your doing it for economy then just put the 4.2 on gas. the 5ltr isnt that different to the 4.2.

i have owned 2 5ltr GQ's 1 auto & 1 manual the manual wasnt to bad on fuel but really no better that the 4.2
the turbo petrol is a thirsty sucker . but i do drive it hard
