Thread: stae 1 fuel consumption

It will drink it at about the same rate as the oil is leaking from the BP well.

Easy driving should give you something around 20l/100km. Easy road driving a little better, hard going worse. Also the carby restrictors would have to be removed to get this - it will be worse with them in.

Gee that is a really broad question
OK on LPG 12.3 MPG doesnt matter what I tow or how fast I drive its 12.3 MPG, On Petrol with twin Strombergs up to 21 MPG if driving sensibly.
If not on Petrol I usually get 16-17 MPG
From memory you are down the Holly Path if tuned properly I would of said better than what I get.

An original 8.13:1 30 year old Stage 1 V8 will gutless if its worn out if its not it will be Ok but not ourstanding
A 9.35:1 Mid 80s Range Rover engine in good nick with Stage 1 gearing can be quite good

so would you recomend the lpg conversion

I average 16L to the 100ks (at about 110+a little)using E10, and sometimes a freakish 14-12L to the 100 when I drive very sensibly in perfect conditions, and I have an overdrive. Before the overdrive I could only manage about 450k's to the tank, 70L, about 15L to the 100.

i am happy with that i wont get an overdrive well not for a while but i am happy poking along at 80-90kmh

Not where I live I pay 96.9 CPL so there isnt much in it
What are you getting if you tune the Holly I think you could be happy

I dream of living some where that I can buy LPG for 70 CPL here I just puckerup every time I refuel

well this is really only for the occasional trip and just going into town and back so im happy to go slow to save money i dont know much about the stage 1s so any other good or bad points would be nice
