Thread: fuel consumption

My old D1 on gas used to get nearly 300km out of about 75L lpg around town.
This is with the mixer style gas setup, not the injected one.
I always felt a better tune could increase that to 350km.

I have read others get similar mileage and sometimes up to 350-400km.

One thing I did notice was when I put in a new battery the mileage rose by 50km. So make sure you have a good battery, leads, rotor, etc. Gas likes a good spark.

I also found mileage could change by as much as 50km depending on where I filled up.

If it is the 3 scuba tanks in the rear cargo area
im pretty sure there only 60 litres useable.

I get around 25l/100km on my LPG with a mix of town / motorway driving which I don't think is too bad.

Yeah I get about 200 - 250km from a fill which is usually about 54L into the triple scuba tanks.

Yeah, I used to only get 200-250 per fill on my old scuba tanks set ups.

Useable was around 60 from memory.
The 3.9 is very thirsty.

thats bloody terrible it sux more gas then my old tb42 nissan on a bad day

need to change the tanks i think

60 ltr tanks = 160km ultra urban, 200 - 220km mixed, and 350km pure highway at 100 - 110 kmph fully loaded, surfboards on the roof.
