15l/100km around town

I have a long range tank however (120lt) so i usually fit around 116lt in which cost around $180 each stop at the servo.

I average about 400km from a 65ltr tank around town, which comes to just over 16/100. It has been said that every inch of lift adds 1lt/100km which sounds right for me with a 2" lift.

In my stock 1995 XJ sport used to get around
city: 13L/100km
highway: 11L/100km
towing 900kgs: 17L/100

2" lifted with 30" tyres and bull bar:
city: 16L/100km
highway: 13L/100km

Forgot to add, I drive like a grandma and usually fill up with about 60L @ $90.

hmmm so some good results.. and some bad! fuel economy concerns me a bit because ill be a student running what seems to be the thirstiest thing around.
Hopefully ill be able to grab a diesel, should ease the pain. I dont mind pouring money into it, so worth it, but i need the money to do it first.
Another thing is, i drive a daihatsu haha! so im used to 50 bucks a full tank... and that lasting me over 2 weeks.
If i play my cards right i can keep both, so i dont have to drive the jeep to the station/shops/etc as much.
LGP sounds like it would help alot! ill see what i can do. Sux that fuel consumption is higher with lifting it though so the bigger the tyres the more thirsty as well??

thanks everyone!
