2.8 diesel turbo and intercooled surf, lucky if my 60 litre tank can get 450kms gently, 400kms on enthusiast driving.

We all drive aerodynamic bricks on fat tyres, dont think good fuel economy is part of the deal of owning 4WD'S :lol:

Depends on weather I have the small wheels on the front or not replicating downhill driving, and due to the angle the fuel gauge actually goes up so I take that as negative fuel consumption.
With the std wheels on all round im with the other petrol users, om nom nom

Just did the maths on the fuel from this weekends trip. Fully loaded 6 people and there gear all the group camp gear normal recovery gear, full sized steel roof basket loaded up with the above gear. 240km of highway travel, 70km of offroad (round figures) total of 304km used 60lts of diesel. Which equals just under 20lt per hundred :oops:

1994 Land Rover Discovery auto 2.5TD 9lt/100km. Can squeeze over 800km on a tank on open road at approx. 90kph. When I tow my FJ40 bush truck with a 350 Chevy I still get easy 600km on a tank!!!! Not at 90 though haha. Only do 90 on the straight and dies big time on hills but who cares.

Never worked out the Ks/ltr but my 1990 3ltr V6 Surf would have contributed to 1/2 the worlds global warming on its own.
320Ks per tank on highway driving
120ks per tank off road :cry:

Loved the truck not the empty wallet, it had to go.
Apparently the Lexus in it would be cheaper to run :shock:

Was for me, get an extra 50k per tank because you dont have to drive it so hard to get it to move.

Over the last year I have been collecting the fuel usage data for my truck.

1991 Safari, SWB, TD42, non turbo, 5spd, 31" tyres.

Travelled 14072km and used 1702.75l of fuel = 12.1l/100km

Best tank was 721km on 79.29l = 10.99l/100km (open road trip Akl to Whakatane and back)

Worst tank was 588km on 78.54 = 13.36l/100km (half tank around town other half in the sand dunes)

Not a Nissan but 96 3.0TD (non-intercooled) Surf, auto. 31s.

65l in a tank. Always over 600km before I hit E light, then can get another 50+. Never let it get that low though.

When I'm towing the Zuki on the trailer it's more like 300-400. Going to woodhill costs me over half a tank for a 200km round trip.
