Ahh, you've just jogged my memory Allan... It makes more power as it ups the burn rate of the diesel from about 60-70% to about 95% (hence no black smoke) As for economy... 39c/l might be cheap, but... you will use about 2 times as much gas to go the same distance in comparison to petrol, so its cheaper than petrol... but diesel's are generally more economical than petrol motors... i cant give a definate answer as it depends on lots of things... but heres some numbers to consider... We used to have a LN65 hilux ('85 4x4) with a 253 (4.2l holden V8) that was on gas and petrol. A tank of gas (72l) would get us about 300-350kms, so thats about 24l/100km it wasnt tuned real well and got about the same economy on petrol. i've also recently had another hilux (LN106) with a 3L (2.8L Diesel) it could go about 600kms on a tank of diesel (60l) so thats about 10l/100km. which is less than 1/2 ! it also depends where your going to be going... we drove both of these hilux's from sydney to perth and back. and gas out in the middle of nowhere is upto 90c/l ! and diesel was only $1.30 or so... and in this situation the diesel is much cheaper ! and if you run out a jerry can can fix you... ever ran out of gas ?? food for thought, Cam [Report message to a moderator]
