There's lots on here about fuel consumption, but 15 sounds low. Most average around 22-25 mpg. Has it had a good service since you've had it?

been reading about mpg on the 2.8 and been wondering how come some say they are getting 30 mpg and others only getting about 20 that is a huge diff in mpg, mine is doing around 20 to 21 so what could be done to mine to get as high as 30 mpg.
i know it does depend where you drive and how you drive but im not someone who is foot flat all the time and do try to keep revs under 2.5.
i love my truck just think if i could get as much as 30 mpg i may divorce the wife and marry my truck lol.

OK so this is a reserected post. Had a fiddle with my pump. Didnt like the gains/losses, better consumption? Yes. Performance? Carp and that only half a turn of the screw so put it back as near as poss.

I am not going to mess with mine at all just in case i end up doing it wrong, i shall also keep pouring in the fuel.
REVOGEL my pajero is exactly the same as yours, when the weather changes i shall take a pic and find out how to put it on my profile.

I've the 2.8 diesel auto,new to this pajero game so wondered,if I drive my pajero in 4 wheel drive rather than 2 how will it affect my consumption,it's obviously gonna be lower but approximately how much,i'm currently getting about 23 mpg at the moment.
Thanks.

Hi Jinjer,

no problem driving in standard 4wd on the roads if you want to, especially at the moment with all the muck on the roads, consumption will be slightly lower, but if you are getting around 23mpg, then thats not bad as an average to be honest mate!
Obviously do not drive with the centre diff lock engaged or in low ratio or you will smash the front differential to bits Laughing

Cheers

Paul

Before the full service ...... 18mpg, after the service (and I put a couple of magents on the fuel line as well) now get 25mpg overall. really happy with the car, good thing really as its the 3rd Paj that I have had.

Overall 24mpg over the last 6 tank fulls. But as said before, you dont by any 4 x 4 for the economy (but you do buy a Landrover if you ahve a greats ense of humour!!!!).

Pajeros rule the roost! Very Happy
