This is how i fixed my 4WDs fuel economy...

How do you get better fuel economy in your 4WD? well today i show you the secrets! 10 tips that will help your 4WD get more KMs out of a tank of fuel!
Or How to get better/Increase your Gas Mileage as the Americans would say!

I drive a 97 NL 3.5 and I get 630 kms a tank on highway and 500 kms mixed driving, also it has 33 MT's, roof rack, and bullbar. I also re-geared to 4.90's so my fuel economy stayed the same out of the factory. Dont forget to change your O2 sensor and coolant temperature sensor, 2 most common sensors to forget. These rigs are so underrated that people make fun of all the time but lasts longer than most of my friends newer diesels. They get to visit the mechanic more. lol.

"weight reduction, removing people" that got me aha

[davidstowar]

Definitely agree with you about better fuel economy at slightly slower highway speeds.
My 09 petrol Pajero trip computer tells me I get about 15L/100km at 110km/h, but it goes down to 12L/100km when I slow down to 80km/h. Like the drag co efficient increases exponentially as speed goes up or bla bla something like that..?? I think.

DOT in the US did live testing demonstrations in the 70's that showed a dramatic increase in fuel economy by staying around 55mph on the highway. So if not in a hurry, you can save a good bit at the pump.

[dachickenwingx]

i recon you would get better fuel economy if you didnt use the car

[beornbayliss]

My 3.4L V6 hilux gets around 400km per 55L tank.
I accept that my Hilux is a little underweight from your Paj, but that’s a huge difference in fuel consumption.

Me highly modified 02 Pajero 3.2DID gets just over 1000km from a 90ltr tank.

[waddney]

just a note on exhausts, they don't need back pressure,
they need velocity to aid in the scavenging effect

[wazzaracer]

The higher the drag co-efficient of the vehicle, the greater the penalty. For a highway heavy truck, going from 90km/hr to 100km/hr uses 20% more fuel for distance travelled. Some 4wds would be in the same bracket for drag.

[LogitechXibanga]

@Aussie Arvos you forgot to mention smaller and aluminum wheels thats where all the power is lost and what makes the engine work harder using more fuel

[xc]

The backpressure part of the exhaust is a myth, what your aiming for with a properly sized system is scavenging correlating with the engine's powerband. Too big a system slows the gases and pulses down and can be as useless as a stock system.

I've got a 1998 Pajero v6 3500 with the 3, 5 liter engine. Nearly fully loaded on highway I get around 12 liters with stuff on the roof. You should try an fuel additive. And I reckon my car saves arvo 1 liter on 100 when I fill up with U95. You also save fuel with better engine oil. And better engine coolant. Have a good one👌⛽

I clicked on this video cuz i thought it was Ronny Dahl. After watching this, I think he might be your dad XD
Anyways, good stuff, like the style. Keep it up!

[WestyOnPC]

Love the old paj, these v6s are way to underrated haha

[landcrsr]

Get a diesel, unladen I get 11l/100km fully loaded with 300l fuel I get 12l/100km.

[unknownuser]

My 100 series lc does 350km 90l tank 4.5 petrol inline 6 very reliable tho pretty much a tank I use it to tow my caravan around the country every year never let me down the pig of a dog

I'll say it, there is no evidence of snorkels actually improving fuel economy. It may increase peak power if you're ecu permits that air rate, but if anything it adds drag to the front of the car. There real advantage raising the intake to prevent sucking in water and mud when you drive into a mud rut or crossing and water goes across the bonnet.

[ehpunka]

Did you take the silver side panels etc, off that car? I have them on my 96 and am not sure if people are taking them off or if some models just dont have them.

[AshHalls]

I thought a full engine rebuild and replacing and cleaning half the parts in the engine would improve my Pajeros economy.. No chance, the only way is to feather the throttle with your little toe.

[EnkeiTenjin]

Cleaning your air filter gives you massively improved fuel economy and performance apparently
