Fuel (or veg oil) consumption for 2.5na in an LR90 (or 110)

Greetings,

Just wanted to see what kind of MPG people were getting using 2.5na engines. The official figures I've seen give a combined figure of about 21.5, which seems quite low, really low actually. I'm sure I'm getting more than that, and that's with stop start driving up and down hills etc. I haven't done the calculations yet anyway.

Does anyone here run their 2.5na on veg oil as well?


Cheers. Tom.

Never ran the one I had on veg oil but it did about 25mpg on ordinary diesel.

Yes, I used to run my 2.5NA 90 on 80% bio diesel this gave me about 3mpg more than dino diesel so about 30mpg. Then I was heading for an engine swap and I ran it on veg oil about 50/50 and the IP packed in fairly smartish (I use it daily) so gave up.

Fitted a 300tdi, the bosch pump on the 300tdi takes this stuff much better (have been running the Disco with this stuff for yonks).

My N/A (which I rebuilt) achieves at least 30MPG on motorway runs and usually about 26-27 out and about (thats revving it's blocks off too) I thrash it about a bit.

Getting a regular 30mpg out of mine. (109 ser2a station wagon- 2.5 with o/drive)

well, that's all good stuff to hear

discomania, I'm trying to think of what the IP is, but it's eluding me.. could you enlighten me?
