im gettin round the 400 mark, but i gota bit of a lead foot

Jeeps · #3 13-07-2003

I usually get about 450-500 on regular, i have used regular for the past 12 months thereabout. I am on my 3rd tank of PULP at the moment and i am getting 380 - 430 klm. I will keep on till 5 tankfulls but if it remains worse i will switch back to regular.

I've always gotten around the 400 mark on PULP. It did go down to about 300 for a while when I was running 33 and standard ratios, but with a few engine mods and ratios done I'm starting to hit the 420 mark now.
I knew a guy whow used to only get about 200ks out fo a tank!!!! But hopefully he's got that all sorted now.

200kms a tank...mmm, I could be that guy...almost.

I probably average 350 a tank, but then I'm on 33s with stock ratios (and perhaps I occasionally wear a heavy boot).

But what's most disconcerting is that the first 1/4 of the tank goes in 50kms! After that it seems to slow a bit, then drop suddenly, then slow, then hit E suddenly. And I've had the fuel sending unit replaced twice now!

Ben, im in the same boat as you.. my fuel light comes on at around the 350 mark..

I do have a lead foot... but nothing excesive.. how do pple get 400 and above? are you guys running it to the brim???? or is that to the warning light...

i get around 380 to 400km a tank(not quite empty but low ) towing a trailer all day for work.but without the trailer no better than 420 km. as for pulp makes no difference to economy but it does run harder. most of my daily trips i sit on 100km/h.around town with trailer lucky to get 350km to empty
