Ouch :ohmy:

My 2006 when it was standard I was getting an average of 36mpg, since adding Grabbers AT2s 205/75/15 I now get 33mpg.

foxtrot what psi do you use in yours

When i got my 2005 vvt it was averaging 35mpg on the bridgestone duellers with no other mods. Now its got the lift kit, winch and mud tyres my average is now 28mpg regardless of how i seem to drive it.

05 A/T with 235/75, I get around 24 MPG. Two long trips a week, the rest is short 5 min drives. 30MPG on long drives

Hi Nicho, I usually have my grabbers at 23/26 psi unless I'm dragging my caravan then its 23/29 psi

Approx 11.4 L/100klms (20.5 mpg)

Highway & around town. It gets worse when off road.

I use BP Ultimate (98 RON i think)

I got 38 mpg on my first test then 37 on the second test. I have not used my Jimny offroad yet. 2006 is year of my car. Bog standard wheels and tyres.
Mind you I think my fuel tank must be the size of a teapot as I can only get about 280 miles on a tankful.

27 to 29 mpg pretty standard 2007 vvt with general grabber 205/75R15 AT2's and 32mm spacers -
but most of the last 2 tankfulls were with the "pallet - roof rack fitted" on short work commutes with Air-con blasting to de-fog the screen - and of course with slightly higher revs to fully appreciate the exhaust note :S

interesting observation though ........................
just before the fuel warning light came on today, I was surprised to find the 43mph wobble had totally gone, however, after filling the tank to the cut-off point - guess what, the wobbles back - and so is the dash rattle :pinch:

does this logic work - it looks like the wobble can be solved by slightly increasing the mass at the front of the truck - the only possible way to this would be by fitting an ORA bumper :woohoo:
wonder if I can convince the wife :dry:

I have only checked mine once when I first got it a few months ago, 34MPG. 2004 M13A manual. That's with going to work and back 5 days a week @ just over a mile down the road so mainly on cold! I do have a habit on starting her up 5 minutes or so before I go anywhere to warm it up for the kids. This adds up to easly half an hours running extra a week without driving, so I'm sure this Will have a effect on the Mpg. Think the kids need to start wearing their hats and gloves !

I'm filling up later today so will do another calculation.

Is this a common thing with Jimny,s then guys? Mine does it at the excact same speed! (A slight wobble) My drop link from the steering box has the slightest and i mean slightest bit of play in it so thought it must be that, or possible wheel balancing???

It's isn't really enough of a wobble for me to want to do anything about it?
