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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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👌⛽
Yep cos the money you saved on your 1L/100 you can add your additives, which then means your back at the start $ wise if not more out of pocket Who gives a rats how much fuel your using, so long as your getting out there and having fun who cares??
@@ryanjohnson6990 yeah m8. I've just had issues previously with u91 with my car. Smh bad fuel down in Melbourne. Had misfires so changed to u95. Makes such a huge difference. And every 10k a fuel additive keeps your car running smoothly.
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!
@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
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.
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 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.
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.

"weight reduction, removing people" that got me aha
😂😂 best method lol
I removed the Fun Limiter/Leader of the Opposition from passenger seat location. Saved around 70 kilos.

i recon you would get better fuel economy if you didnt use the car
did Ryan say this? sounds like something Ryan would say HAHAHA

Me highly modified 02 Pajero 3.2DID gets just over 1000km from a 90ltr tank.
just a note on exhausts, they don't need back pressure,
they need velocity to aid in the scavenging effect

Have to try it ! cheers Kilian!
Cleaning the MAF works well
Try liqy moly engine oil additive for friction reducing.

Get a diesel, unladen I get 11l/100km fully loaded with 300l fuel I get 12l/100km.
Yeah so much better then mine!

Awesome vids lads! Don't happen to live in QLD and wanna help out a beginner 4x4er with a trip 😉
Thanks Spencer! Nah mate in Vic unfortunately ! one day!
Thanks bro good stuff
Needing back pressure in an exhaust is an old wives tale
For naturally aspirated engines you do but not turbo
Cleaning your air filter gives you massively improved fuel economy and performance apparently
Manual locking hubs
Yeah i heard they are the go on the Paj, helps for fuel econ, and when you lift it you can stop those dam CVs from spinning!
Doesn't do anything at all for fuel economy
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.
Lower spec don't have them
How do you rate this Pajero model?
Will a 3 inch exhaust in a montero be ok?
Air filter does not have maj impact
Back pressure again is it
I have 130L tank and i get only 350km a tank
Woah!! What car do have? How many extra bolt-on’s to add to carry and drag around?

@@Jessicaskye-id4re lol yeah ok. I have been curious about the TB45 and TB48.
That’s crazy though. That’s gotta be a lot of stop/start driving yeah?
@@beornbayliss9586 na not really but i have fixed it and got it to run a little better get roughly bow 500km
im lucky to get 350 out of my au
Best way to improve fuel economy on a Pajero? Burn it so it can never be driven again
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Remove the middle seats....
i get 650km out of 50 litres of diesel in my hilux about 7-8l per 100
dam that's really good!! what year? 2.8 or 3L diesel?
@@AussieArvos 1992 2.8 diesel thats on the highway though
650 divided by 50 = 13 litres per 100 k's
@@geoffbroadbent7491 dude are u dumb if i got 13 litres per 100 i would even get 500km from a tank
@@geoffbroadbent7491 You mean 13km per litre.
Wrong!!!!! You don't want back pressure in the exhaust... You want velocity.. this improves scavenging

what's with the trump flag at 3:05???
