I am planning a trip across the
Madigan line mid year and going to most of the camps. I have read most of the post on the subject but was wanting more info on fuel usage on the following cars. Nissan 3lt auto, New Mazda BT50 auto and a VW Amarok. If you have done the trip with any of these or close, your usage would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Think of your worst consumption and double it, seriously we had a 3 lt auto on our trip across, it had 2 adults and 2 small kids and all the necessary stuff like fuel and water and it was the second most thirsty of the group at 22 l/100km. We had a 79 series turbo six with a Trayon on the back which used about 20l/100, a little diesel Jeep wagon with rooftop that used 15l/100 and our Humvee used 24l/100.
I would hesitate taking the Amorak as without low range and a low ramp over it might struggle in the softer rougher trackless sections.

Hi Peter,
Not sure which Amarok you are referring to but
mine and all the others I know of are
well equipped with an excellent low range and many driver assist electronics
