    110 V8 fuel economy

    Ran 110 petrol tank dry. Changed to LPG.
    Filled petrol tank with 50.0L of petrol
    Reset odometer/ switch to petrol
    6km of WOT at 4000-5000rpm with 15lb tire pressure on very loose dune sand.
    20km of undulating gravel roads at 80km/h
    about 120km of casual 80km/h country driving through flat bitumen with some slopes here and there.
    The remaining 150 or so km were around town. Stop start every 1km or so.
    GPS says odometer is very accurate(amazing).
    Result = 298km for 50L of standard unleaded in a semi tired(a noisy lifter) 3.5 V8 with edelbrock 500 carb(Jetted 11% leaner than stock) and edelbrock performer manifold.
    Thats 5.96km per litre or 16.8MPG (imperial).

    Or in standard format: 16.77 litres/100km

    Oddly enough almost the same in this case as the MPG.
