HAHA sucked in sierra owners
95 SWB hardtop Vitara
2.5" lift
235/75 all terrains at 20psi
small amount of aircon use
last tank 8.6l/100km, normally 9 to 10 (10 if heavy traffic and aircon on)
for everyone running bigger tires it would pay to get hold of a GPS and compare readings to see how far out your odometer is

89 Sierra
1.3 carb
6.5:1 gears
3" lift
With the 32" tyres we get around 12-12.5L/100 around town & 10.5L/100 out on the open road.
With the 9.5 x 30's we get closer to 10L/100 around town & 9L/100 on the open road.
Something interesting to note, the fuel economy gets worse with the top off than it does with the A/C on.
And
IF!
The missus drives all the above figures go out the window.
