Hi chaps, Quick Q

What sort of mpg are people getting from there sj's whether it be completly standard or a monster with 33's. I am talking on road aswell, i dont think anyone would measure offroad mpg lol

cheers

It depends what kind of driving I'm doing.

I find that if I'm nipping around town I get around 20-25... whereas on long runs I get around 30

Might be because I like accelerating quickly

What twiss said, except I never got 30mpg mine was more mid to high 20's although when the original carb failed and the choke got stuck on I had an all time low of 18mpg!

Edit
My SJ has a rocklobster t box and 235/75r15 mud terrain tyres

my 1300 used to have mood swings

sometimes it would be drinking it like it was oil

other times it seemed to go forever on a 10er

not that the guages are that great anyway!

mine reads empty when full then goes to full at 3/4 and 1/4 mark means it's gonna die soon

Almost gpm with 33s a 1.6 8v and twin transfer boxes I'm lucky to get 20mpg really, that is with a stock carb and a choke that doesn't work properly though

Im just going to pretend i never looked back at this thread
