The old surf only had about a 60litre tank and i'd only get about 50 litres to the 240km mark.
How many litres to 400km Haynzy :?:

My roadie Surf gets about 400kms per tank from a 7mge, and about 240 when towing the Jalopy. Std Surf tank, 60L I guess

bout 60 i guess, did a trip to rallywoods in it when i was runnin 33's and it used less gas than a 2.8l diesel pajero and at least i could pass when I needed to :lol:
like anything though if I put my foot down and drive it hard petrol consumption would go out the window.
As it sits now it has been from palmy to taihape and back, 2 days 4wding and an unknown amount of k's when it got stolen on friday and it still had about 10 litres in it :wink:
