Hi Guys Anyone with a GQ 4.2 diesel able to give me an idea on fuel consumption please Thanks Rich Without adding in 2039480234920498309 possible variables from tire size to weather 13/100 is quite accessable. > Without adding in 2039480234920498309 possible variables from tire > size to weather 13/100 is quite accessable. more like 11L/100klm should be quite achievable when driven normally Kev >> Without adding in 2039480234920498309 possible variables from tire >> size to weather 13/100 is quite accessable.

Good luck. only one out of the 200 odd in a pole few yrs back on patrol list got them figures. >more like 11L/100klm should be quite achievable >when driven normally > >Kev > Good luck. only one out of the 200 odd in a pole few yrs back on > patrol list got them figures. And the URL for that "poll" would be.........? Sorry to be pedantic, but given that you have told some big porkies in the past, it seems like a good idea to check Or did a "mate" tell you about the poll? -- >And the URL for that "poll" would be.........? Yahoo groups. you should be smart enough to find it yourself. or do you want your mate to tell you about it? Nothing like tryin to help people. > Good luck. only one out of the 200 odd in a pole few yrs back on > patrol list got them figures.

I can get 11 out of my cruiser if I don't thrash it I average about 12 now but I sit on 105-110 with the aircon on most of the time about 800klms a week mostly hwy Kev >> Good luck. only one out of the 200 odd in a pole few yrs back on >> patrol list got them figures.

Driveline, strength, bullet proof motor 4.2 diesel, nearly every yota comp truck runs GQ/GU diffs, smooth to drive and feel like your driving something more than a Morris 1100. > >ok so the Nissan is a gas guzzler too >>tell me again why they are so good? > Driveline, strength, bullet proof motor 4.2 diesel, nearly every yota > comp truck runs GQ/GU diffs, smooth to drive and feel like your > driving something more than a Morris 1100. Get the series 3 GQ. (95-97) The early ones had a few problems, (cant recall what they were ......steering? suspension?) It's always got me buggered why people are so focused on fuel economy with 4wds. I don't drive mine much, so I suppose that explains it a bit...........I only use my GQ for trips, camping etc, not a daily driver. There's so much more to the cost of 4wds than just MPG. Servicing, depreciation, parts, repairs............ Anyway, I'd put up with a 4.2 GQ for reliability, toughness, longevity........blah blah >It's always got me buggered why people are so focused on fuel economy with 4wds. x2... just enjoy it while you can - your kids wont be able to afford to >>ok so the Nissan is a gas guzzler too >>tell me again why they are so good? > > Driveline, strength, bullet proof motor 4.2 diesel, nearly every yota > comp truck runs GQ/GU diffs, smooth to drive and feel like your > driving something more than a Morris 1100. well I should have said besides the front diff Kev and the aincon's to keep his shirt cool or he takes it off > ok so the Nissan is a gas guzzler too > tell me again why they are so good?

Because Nissans use only a 1 gearbox, diff & CVset every 500,000km compared to Toyota's using 2 or 3 of each :P thats only if the drivers name is steve that happens > Because Nissans use only a 1 gearbox, diff & CVset every 500,000km > compared to Toyota's using 2 or 3 of each :P >> ok so the Nissan is a gas guzzler too >> tell me again why they are so good? > > Because Nissans use only a 1 gearbox, diff & CVset every 500,000km > compared to Toyota's using 2 or 3 of each :P Yep, you cant wear a drivechain out with lack of power and speed.
