So have recently bought a vitara project and am currently getting around 150-160 miles out of a tank of unleaded. Does this sound about right or am I burning to much fuel?? If it is low does anyone have any advice on how I can go about improving this!? I realised that the way I drive has an impact but I'm not exactly ragging it around as its just not that kinda car! Lol

how many gallons in a tank? ... to me seem high fuel consumption in my GV I get 30 mpg in winter and 35 in summer 340 - 400 miles a tank normally on A roads

I get about 30mpg on a run 32-33mpg which i find is good for V6 albeit if i turn the wick up abit with the right foot by gunning it away from the traffic lights it will drop down to under 20mpg.

My 1.6 8v injection does about 28mpg.

95 zuk, it's about £35 to fill the tank so around a 30 litre tank. And donkey chomp mines running at around 23 mpg. Looking and asking around it seems that everyone is different so I'm guessing that the setup people run is a big factor in it. My wheels are 9.5" x 30" and I'm sure that's gotta influence it. I've whacked an extra half a bar of pressure to the tyres and it doesn't feel as though it drags as much but that may just be my imagination!!

I run mine at 30psi...helps a lot and my tyres are 29"

As i have new tyres on mine,i may try adding a few extra psi say upto 26psi from 23psi as in the handbook,when i 1st got this truck about a year back it did not like any increase.

In any other set of wheels that i have owned i have always run slightly higher pressures which cuts the rolling resistance down hence gained a better fuel economy.

Mine are up at 33psi or 2.3 bar. They were between 1.7-1.9 bar. So will have to keep an eye on the mileage over the next week or so. I'm gonna have to invest in a new tyre pump as the head broke of mine. What sort of pressures do you guys run when off-road??

30psi

Haha I'll leave them as they are then!!
