touring range

Maybe just add if you are asking about auto or manual, as my old auto GQ was shocking on gas around 30lt per hundred but I was told the manuals were much better.

Cheers Stefan

Mate, I was getting 18 litres per 100km out of my 80 on gas with it cut into a dual cab, tray sticking out (drag), 6 inch lift (drag) and taller tyres.
I get about the same from my 105.

I have an 1993 - 80 series on gas ... (92 litres usable) .... only 300 km range??? Is this normal? .. ok, it is an auto and at least 1/2 of those km are done in town but ... 30 lt./100 km. ??? I have a roofrack with the spare tyre on top ... it those stuff effecting so mutch the fuel consumption??
Thanks!

Hi Luca, I recently fitted gas to my 98 80 series and couldn't be happier.

With straight country driving I can get 430kms from the 90L tank (4.7 km / L ) . With a mix of town & country it is still around the 400kms and with my 16'6" pop top van this drops to around 340 kms ( 3.7 kms / L ).

I think if you removed the roof rack you could see an improvement of 5 kms / L. If its not too hard to remove give it a try, you will be surprised.

Btw, I have an auto GXL with alloy bar, 8" spotties BFG AT's 285's all of which chew fuel.

I thought older gas systems used twice as much gas as the petrol, so 30/100 sounds about right for an 80. The savings are in cost and emmissions,not fuel. As for diesel on LGP, well that's another matter...

Thanks! I will try to remove the roof rack ... and the right foot from the accelerator!
