My son has a 80 series Cruiser and he would easily go through 28 litres of LPG per 100 km. Friend of mine has a diesel and he will go through more than 20 l per 100 km in the city driving. Must be something wrong with it??
gavfromoz said:Hi, yes it was services every 5000km or 6 months with the last service done that included a thorough diagnostic. The results were all ok. The last trip I took in the cruiser was up to Brissie. From the combination of both tanks (140L) I managed to get 820km on the open road with the cruise control set to 110km. Needless to say I sold it soon after getting back.

If you can find a really cluey lpg guy with a dyno you can often put some wicked aftermarket tunes in just about anything to suit what you need - best place to go as silly as it sounds is a performance workshop - a haltech engine management system can be worth its weight in gold if you use your car for a bit of everything, you can have a city - hwy - or 4x4 setting and interchange to whatever your doing.
But rule of thumb of course - the more tired your engine is getting the more juice its going to swallow! Me personally. run a big block in EVERYTHING no matter the cost hahaha the sound and performance can't be beaten!

Over the years I have had Troop carrier, Hilux, Jeep Cherokee Sport, TJ Wrangler and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee is V8 and uses 17.5 l/100 km in the city and 12 l/100 km on the freeway. We have owned the car since 2003 so its not a new car. I am with you on the big engines because the other 2 Jeeps were 4.0 l 6 cylinders and used the same amount of fuel as the V8 but massive difference in power.
My other car is A6 Quattro. Not a off roader but I love driving it hard in the rain.
