Kiss'n'dirt
Yes its ULP and when I first did a check I nearly had heart attack at how bad it was.My previous range was 670 to the 145 Ltrs Know I think on HWY it would be about 840Klm.The Vaporate kit is about $280 plus fitting by a macanic.Repco have the writes to sell the kits but you can get your own macanic to fit it or Repco can,I get my car serviced at ARB Nourthern so I got Kerry to do the job .Have allways been happy with there service.Arb cost $250 to fit.Look up Vaporate on the net you can find out wheather they have a kit for your 4B.
Best of luck.

Basicaly Eric it's a coller that fits over the fuel injection system that heats the fuel prior to combustion.

Sorry by heating the fuel you get better combustion more fuel burn less out the exhaust.

So you have to cool the air and heat the fuel to get the biggest bang
Argh, it's a wicked world.
