Just did fuel calculations today, over last two weeks 500k mostly around town and one trip in to the city, managed 19.3l/100k. I thought that was pretty much what I had expected, hope for better on a trip, will see soon I guess.
So where to from here....
I have ordered Sequential LPG injection, just waiting on gear to show up and it goes in for install. I am very much looking forward to the difference in fuel cost.
Decided to go with an 80l tank installed inside and keep the long range petrol tank 120l for travelling, especially when I can't get gas. I am not too worried about the loss of storage as we will be towing a camper trailer and this means can't open back door fully anyway, so space here is not a premium. We are only two, so plenty of other space between tank and front seats.
Looking to fit a cargo barrier and probably a false floor for when we get to serious travelling, in the mean time, will use what I can.
Can't wait to get things sorted and start planning first decent trip.
Cheers, db.
