Thread: Who drank my petrol?

What is your fuel economy? have you measured it? Is the 480 Km to the red light or until the car stops?
The question you have asked is unanswerable .
The fuel economy of a 96 Disco is about 20 L/100Km around town and 15 on the highway .

A well tuned one wil go about 550Km until the red light on a flat road at about 100-110 Kmh.
It would be pretty unlikely to go 700KM.

Thanks for the info Philip. On the last few tanks its worked out to 21L/100km driving around town. The 480km is to the red light, so maybe its not to unusual. I put new plugs, leads, oil and filters in yesterday so hopefully now it's just been tuned I'll get a bit more out of it.

Rhino, out here (Alice Springs) drinking the petrol isn't the problem, sniffing it is. Every few weeks or so we get damage done to used cars as the sniffers break in to the fuel fillers.

650-700 would be for Diesel Discos only.

I reckon you're lucky to get 480 from a tank in a petrol!

Hi fellow disco owners to my knowledge the V8I 3.9 has a fuel tank capacity of 99lts standard according to specs.Also the low fuel comes on at 10lts remaining but this can very in my case low fuel activates at 30 lts reamaining because gauge reads slightly low. I find 480km is the safe way to go leaving about 10 lts in reserve its a mater of knowing your own vehicle these figures worked out on bush excursions on tracks 70%in lowrange and 30% Hwy mode.Have never run to m/t but on calculation 500km's is achievable but carry a jerrycan or own a good pair of walking shoes.

480 kms out of a disco tank?
so you coast down hills and don't go over 80 kph, or your wife is filling it while you're not looking.
