126kw engine vs 140kw engine

[Motchy]

Thanks for the advice guys,

I definitely agree that they arent race cars, but I dont want to find my self modding the engine when I could just start off with a 140kw engine. I want it to do all these trips but having heaps of available power is also really nice too, as I want to get a jayco penguin later down the track

Reguarding trips and 4x4ing in low range ive never thought i need more power..but my economy could be better...im at 13ltrs per 100 highway but its amazing around town...at under 10

lol sorry mate just giving an honest opinion, fuel economy is pretty much the same tho

Weird :S Should be lower with highway km's??? I sit at around 9L/100km on the highway with 33's... (So these figures could be out, 90km/ph on the speedo is actually 100)
About 10-10.5/100 around town...

I am assuming he gives it a bit of right foot. I get 11.5 l/100km on the open road at about 2490 rpm, and about 13 l/100km at about 2510 rpm. And I am constantly amazed at how much difference about 2 km/hr makes.

im finding the same thing, around town im getting around the 9L per 100 mark, on freeways I sit around 10-10.5L per 100 and that's just cruising on 110-120kph on a faily flat freeway. not overly impressed.
When I 1st got my nav it was 8.5 all day everyday and now in last few weeks its began to climb with no real reason. all I have is 3"body lift and 265/70/17 tyres. Hate to think whats going to happen when I fit the bulbar, winch, underbody bash plates and 2"sus lift

Everything you add just adds more fuel consumption...mine new was under 10lts per 100 on a trip..tyres and 100mm lift kills it!!
