What are you guys paying for LPG down there... its so expensive up here its negates the cost-saving aspect of converting...

 

I bought the car for $500 with a 4 year old conversion, I have noticed the price of LPG creeping up, its been a while between fills but i think its around 65c per litre

I nearly got 500kms out of a tank...I didn't wanna risk running out so i topped up lol..So i reckon thats pretty good!

My 20 valve got 425klm off of 32 litres while highway driving last week, which I thought to be very good for an after market ecu tune. If I make it fun like Ill get 480-500klms from 45 litres before fuel surge kicks in.

 

I guess thats 10-11 klm/litre if I'm enjoying myself, or 13 if I put around. I'm ultra conscious of fuel consumption and mileage traveled as I have neither an odometer or fuel gauge. I'm at the point now where I just get a feeling I need to fill up. When my car was running but not properly tuned I got 300klms from 45 litres.

What's fuel surge?

I'm getting 510km out of 45ltr of fuel in a ke38, thats pretty good with a huge toolbox and about 150kgs of tools in the back. thats with using the right foot pretty hard, too. I'm using lead additive but I'm not sure if i need too?

Thanks!

7shades, I told you it was a long drive to Cairns. you should try importing your gas from Japan, it is closer than Bass Straight isn't it? They (the Japs) are buying lpg from us for 9 cents a litre and we are paying up to 79 cents a litre at the servo. GRRRRR. :hmm: Are we suckers or what?

we get 500 - 550 kms to a 45L tank in the ae112r (2001)

 

i got 530kms from a 65L tank in the rzn149r (2003) which i just got last friday (beast)

 

not sure of the kms i get from the ke20 but i'm switching back to the KMH dash and changing cogs on the speedo cable so i should be able to get a more accurate figure.

The KE55 used to get around 8-10L/100km, which would equal roughly 500-600km/tank, but the fuel gauge never worked properly so it was always done on kms travelled.

 

The AE102, highly dependent on my right foot, varies between 6.5-10L/100km. Most I've ever gotten out of a tank was 800km, which surprised me because that was on a cruise to Bathurst, including a few heated laps.

 

The AE82 is currently getting around 7-8L/100km, doesn't have the torque that the 7A does so it needs more revs to do the same stuff, therefore more fuel.

I'm Getting roughly 200 miles (320km) to the tank but not 100% sure on size of tank. I think its about 35-40L with a 3k stock as a rock.

 

But then when i drove it home from wollongong when i bought it i got back to bathurst on 1/2 a tank. Depends on the driving conditions

 

Cheers

a few weeks ago i had to go threw about 300km's of mostly winding roads and hills etc and when i stopped to fill up it took about 20L, thats with an exhaust and weber on a 4ac. with the new cam I'm using seem to be using alot more, as you need more revs and a lower gear to get the thing to move. got 220km (highway) from about half a tank.
