Fuel economy... again... ;)

[Jeeps]

Guys, i just wanted to share with you some recent figures of mine.

The last 24 months i have run MTR's exclusively and my fuel economy figures vary between 15-16L/100klm. My fuel light comes on about 320klm, then i drive another 80klm then fill up and i'm able to get about 62-65L in. If you add the 10% speedo difference it's about 440klm for about 65-70L of fuel.

The last few weeks i have been running my GSA's because i am currently doing a lot of klm for work. I've been keeping an eye on the fuel economy and tonight i filled up. My fuel light came on about 370klm, then i drove it until 430klm then filled it up. I only just managed to force 60L into it meaning the jeep had another 12 or so litres in the tank and fuel lines, maybe good enough for another 60-80klm which puts me over 500klm for the tankful or about 13L/100klm. So long live the GSA
:monkey: :oops:

And yes, my jeep does look poxy with 29" tyres and a 2" lift but you can see my bright red ranchos really easily and i can drag commodores again :)

I experience the same with my 31x10.5 OPAT Toyos and my 31x10.5 MTRs. Not to the same degree but I definately have better fuel ecconomy with the Toyo's.

I must get a jerry can one day and see how far I can get with the warning light comes on. Given how 'accurate' my guage is I'm too scared to push it without back-up!

my TJ consistanly gets 13.5 l/100 with 33's (with speedo correction taken into consideration), with a mix of highway & traffic towing a trailer makes no difference. It goes up to 18.5 towing the caravan & up to 26 in soft sand.

thats good what ratios are you running and which box?

I have just put 35's on the tj and am very happy with the results. i am now gettting about 300k on open road before the fuel light comes on, i have never tested it to see how far i can go with the fuel light. but if it about 50 or 80k then im still going alright considering the MTRs are on 15x10's and im sporting a 2 inch B/L as well. quite happy with that.it better now with 35's then it was with 13.5"wide33" mudzilllas
