How much is half a tank? Have you actually measured how many litres you used for that half a tank? When you work out how many litres you used for the km then we can tell you if it's good or crappy!



Maybe the gauge is out?

I might drive up the half.. 30 ks more then it might be 250ks to half..

I'm so confused I'm schizophrenia.. But put an old style Ford or Holden carbie in front of me I will make it run like new..

My old Ford falcon xe 250 crosflow on gas gets 506 ks city driving 600 petrol city which was great.. Just can't compute with the car tune

How’s the paralytic converter? They are good until they aren’t, and it won’t throw an engine light to let you know.

What's your average speed reading ? Hard to get good fuel economy if you're stuck in stop/start traffic...

450 Klm around town on a minty is the norm. On factory lpg they run around the 18l per 100klm.

Monster engine and the old explorer 302W is just as endearing.

Lpg is not what I'm worried with that does 500ks but lpg slowly fading away and petrol is more strong pulling loads..

My AU2 SR, I am averaging around 10L/100 with a 50/50 mix of around town and 80kmh semi rural trips. Using BP95 now to help clean up the dirty fuel from the servo I used to frequent. Cheers.

600km is a pipe dream, they do 450km at best around town.
