OK,just got around to checking the fuel usage after 4 months on the road.

371kms for 61 litres.I'm running 9R's,but have not allowed for these.Tips on correction?

I'm no wiz but it look like 16.4L/100kms to me.

16.4 ain't great but I'm getting 18-20 at the moment with a suspect head gasket and 30x9.5 muddies.

Will report once done to see if I get back to my 15-16L/100 before I cooked it.

Nothing wrong with that if your ac is on 24/7. Check out the injector upgrade thread, they seem to have improved economy by a few L with the injector upgrade
