what are you complaining about? 6.5k per litre works out at just over 15L per 100 ks if my maths is right. thats pritty good. my v6 surf gets bout that on the open road.

lol, 6.5 isnt bad really but i would like better economy if i can get it :wink:

so im gonna try the twin pods and see how that goes, might make a difference, might not.

if not then at least i will have a cool looking thing on top of the engine :twisted:

a couple of years back (okay a few because it was bc)took the 40 on a road trip to a 4x4 jamboree at kakariki over new years and drove it there and back . covered about 1600 kms and used about 750 litres of gas !!!!!!!!

that's like 2km per 1litre :shock:

there is a car in India the ford fiesta (totally different car to the one here) and that give 30km per 1 litre of diesel

our mistral does about 10-11km per 1litre i recall properly
dont know about the jeep, but one 20litre of tank lasts a hour or two playing on the farm :shock:

but i think it should be sweet after a tune or if i put in a lovely v8

funnily enough now i tow it most places

mercutio · Post by **mercutio** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:29 pm

6 ks a litre that is almost better consumption than i get and my wagen is diesel
g wagens are renowned for their excessive fuel consumption that explains why my fuel tank holds 90 plus litres :lol:

hey Wop, a day in the bush at minginui and I use about 30 litres.
same truck, same motor, maybe less pedal.

I did however use a full tank in one day, but there was a lot of loud pedal all day. 70 litres just blasting round a farm. good fun and luckily someone else was paying for the gas.

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 3:21 pm

yea im not to concerned if it uses lots of gas :twisted:

i mean, it is a fair bit of engine to feed,more in more out and all, but im going to try the twin filter to see if it makes it better, probably wont but hey, i needed an excuse to do it so it looks cool

...and it does so far, just finished the pipe onto carby hat and it looks sweet

will post a photo tonight. then another when i get both pods on it :wink:

im running out of mods to do :shock:

any suggestions ? (wide open for smart arse remarks :roll:
