lol yeah i probably get around 15ltr+per 100km, mind you its got a jap spec ecu putting out just over 200rwkw runs nice and rich. Time for a PFC or haltec i think.

Yeah wow, thats getting up there! Im wondering if a lower KW Forester ej20T would be better. Really keen on that engine but do alot of daily driving. I could except 12L/100 but if its around 15L thats just nuts. I was reading another thread about a SVX T3 doing 19L/100km when towing a trailer, thats alot of fuel on a interstate drive!

they're big heavy trucks really. gotta take that into account. I would have said 19 for towing was good.

LOL I dont think so really, The TARE on my kombi is 1200, i know there are other kombi models lighter and slightly heavyier.
Im pretty sure a new commodore or ford falcon is around 1600KG+ and those are 4 door sedans 🤪
Just use a N/A 2.5 and you will be happy!

I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado SS, 6 litre, 345 hp.
It only uses 12 l/100 on the highway empty and 15.5 l/100 when towing car on trailer.
Fantastic tow car in real comfort.
Had it for 3 years, now for sale on carsales.com, just type in silverado ss in keywords to find it.

Well there's "tare" and then there's reality. I don't believe anyone in Oz is driving bay that weighs 1200kg. We all fill em up with crap! 😂Vw nutter wrote:"they're big heavy trucks really."

Yeah I'm more talking t3 buses. I took mine on the weigh bridge when getting some firewood. Weighed around 1600kg. A lot heavier then a bay bus.......

i get around 7.7l per 100 in a bug.
so i recon about 11l per 100 in abus. depends on tyre size and gear ratios

gday mate
i have a EJ25 in a 76 bay and on the highway I got 12 litres per 100 on lpg, I didnt run it on petrol because the fuel pump is so annoyingly loud, but I guess I would get better on petrol

+1 the kombi is stuff all compared even to modern small 4 cyl cars.Vw nutter wrote:"they're big heavy trucks really."

thats why a kombi hauls ass with a descent engine. with the right engine a kombi should be able to achieve sub 10L/100.
why not use a EZ30 or a comode 3.8? I hear those 2 get great economy even with the heavier bay bus. key is the low end torque and correct gearing for economy.
