Improving fuel economy

This seems to be happening a lot more so of recent times... people looking at fuel economies of their vehicles. Ya can spend lots of dollars to hopefully improve it.

But in the end the only way $'s will be saved is by contacting/targeting both you state and federal politician to get the governments cop (taxes) reduced from the 35%-40% down to the 10% GST.

What PSI to you run your tyres at?

Put em' up to 42psi, instant saving on fuel.
I ran my passenger cars at 42psi and I run my LT 31's at 42psi and never had a problem.

Relatively speaking the fuel despite current prices is the cheapest part of running a vehicle, tyres, servicing and depreciation etc will far outweigh any savings in fuel gained by fiddling with the vehicle.
Run tyre pressures as high as practicable, run narrower tyres, remove anything that creates drag, roofracks etc, unload anything that is in the vehicle that isn't required, lighter the better. Drive slower and accelerate slowly.
Changing vehicle components like carbys will usually never gain any financial benefit when the costs involved are added up.

19l per 100 - Man I think you better check that you've unhooked that tractor from behind you!

Hi Patrick,
I read with interest one of the posts re different economy from different fuel stations. The forumites related a HUGE difference in economy just from servo to servo. I've also found the same. I fill up at Bi-lo Servo in Bundaberg and get up to 100km's LESS per tank than I do if I fill up at the United Servo north Bundaberg. For a 65 litre tank that's certainly a big difference. Do you always fill up at a particular brand servo when you are at home and travelling ? (such as ampol...mobil?)

Go and have a look on the Pajero Club Forum

Lots of good info there for you. There's something pretty crook if you're only getting 19/100.

Cheers, John.
