Fuel cost was created by Tommo
Every month for 11 months so far
I add up the fuel cost every time I fill up
Over the year so far it has ranged from £137
A month to over £200
In 11 months I've spent £2002 on fuel!
Makes and average of £182 a month :o

Does any one else find it a lot to run
In petrol cost?

I worked out that the jimny is at minimum 900 quid a year cheaper than my defender for the same milage.

That's at best around 32mpg? Any wheel/tyre mods?

I guess the only good thing about filling the Jimny up is that the tank is small!

nothing yet as it all went walkies, someone else is probably trying to fit it to there corsa as we speak (my tyres and other kit)

Anyway i spend alot of my time around 3-4000 rpm, due to some rattle at 2000rpm from the prop, makes the whole car shudder, but only at 2000rpm, maybe its just the jimny and my driving style, i like to be in 4th-5th when cruising around town in my diesel, but the jimny i need to be in either high 2nd or 3rd.
