This thread got me interested so I took the old stage 1 out and drove it at 80-90 Km/h (something that its not accustomed to) I got 13 per 100 on petrol and 22.62 per 100 on LPG. Much better than I thought all I have to do is discipline my self to drive at this speed all the time.
Around town my normal is 19-20ltr per 100 km :oops: :oops:
But out on the highway it is normally around 16 ,I have had it down to 14.5:lol: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Pulling that camper trainer off road.... usually pushes the numbers back to city figures :cry: :cry:
oh well..... no point in earning it if you can't spend it I figure...

My Rangies Both get around 13L/100km doing highway stuff. And thats through the LT95 (1.1:1 High) and 3.54 diffs I am very happy with that. Out bush they're not bad either.
The carbied V8s seem to be way better on fuel than the 'Injected ones.
With the D3 which is a 4.4 V8, I have been pretty impressed with the figures. At the moment it is around 15.1/100km and that is a combo of highway and urban driving. I would be doing 6-800km's a week. As Captn pointed out, offroad it guzzles more or if I am planting the foot, but after 3 days of beach driving on Fraser the figure rose to around 15.7/100kms.

P.S and yeah go the V8's :wink:
D1 93 V8 auto 280,000ks (today!)
Did a run from home to Beaudesert. Full from home, refilled at B.
Refilled at home after the run. 330ks round trip and I was in a hurry, climbing over the Lions Road, which is very steep and windy.
16.6 litres to the 100. Must need a tune....

I drove from Melb to Perth in a 1992 3.5ltr manual disco in Feb. No A/C (well only for a day and a bit before the gas leaked out!). I sat on about 105-115kms/hr for most of the trip.
I wasn't towing anything, but I had a bit of a load in the back (mainly LR parts :wink: )
Mileage: between 14.5-15.5ltr/100km for the trip - not as good as my 300TDi rangie, but not that bad.
Cheers
Updated figures, currently doing around 13.7/100km which for a 4.4 V8 is pretty bloody good in my books, mind you I am being a bit easier on the pedal :wink: ,

On the highway, I usually get around 15 l/100km out of my '87 RR. That's sitting on 110kph.
I did a trip in January from Sydney to Adelaide towing an empty car trailer & returned with it full.
I only sat on 90kph for the whole trip & the additional weight on the return leg seemed to make no difference at all. It returned 15l/100km each way.
A workmate's father did a trip to Tassie a while ago in his '86 RR & averaged 10l/100km 8O . A week later, he burnt a valve out from running too lean :wink: .
I definitely need a tune. Today's top up was 68 litres for 380ks which at $1.25 / litre was about $800000000000.........
