KJ Fuel economy thread

[pzver]

My ex girl was giving 13L/100km with the arb bar all skids and coopers 245/70r16.
I thought that was not bad. That was on premium 95ron.
I'm not sure what one could do to bring it down much.

things that make ya go mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

mines been getting about 550-650 per tank ( just done 25,000) now its saying it will get nearly 700-800kms a tank since it was serviced ???? all they did was a fuel filter, oil, aircleaner but i did get the exhaust muffler on the back ( i bashed the f#@k outa it at coffs they say at the stealership there wasnt any upgrades to flash to the ecm
far as im aware i havn't changed my driving much lol no idea maybe its just now the engine is looseing up ? who knows the way its going heading to melb will be instead of 2 tanks most likely 1-2 tanks could be 1-1&1/2 or 1-1&3/4 ?

We have just returned from 5500km trip towing a Kimberley Camper. Our 2006 CRDauto has just clocked up 10,000km. The first 4500km prior to trip average was 11.7L/100km (best 10.5, worst 13.made of 80% 110km/h freeweay driving. The average for the 5500km trip with the Kimberley was 14.0 L/100km (best 11.7 worst 15.4) - 2500km of this was on corrigated dirt roads + a bit off sand off-roading here and there.
We have a 50mm ARB/OME lift & 235/75 BF Goodrich AT's & a TJM nudge bar fitted.
Overall very impressed with the KJ - not so with the OME kit but I'll comment in the lift thread on that. Cheers. BC

we just got in to syd bris to melb in back through here the kj was getting about 8.5-9.0 l per hndred up n back sitting on just over the 110kms limits

the distance to empty said it would get roughly 800-850kmd per tank so were very hapy with that got to melb for 200 bucks ( same amout for 2 ppl to fly) and we had a car to get round in

add 2" OME lift & Cooper STT's
hwy: 14
town: 18

add ARB bar & warn 9.5xp winch & IPS lights
hwy: 15 - 16 (sometimes high 14's)

When I've got some quiet non-4WD weekends I'll put the Goodyear road tyres back on and see how they are.

Hi,

I used to get 12-13L/100Kms in the first 6000Kms and then it has gradually moved up to 14-15.5L/100 Kms (current reading at 12000Kms).
KJ 05-06 3.7L Renegade model without additions/modifications.
cheers!

First Tank in the 06 CRD - 11.5Litres/100 round town
Second tank - 10.0L/100 on the highway (sitting just over 110)

Best bit is just punting along in 6th and not noticing hills!

Very happy
