I am interested in some feed back on the fuel economy of the 4.2 TD 100 Series cruiser.
Not just the average, but in tough working conditions

On a trip around the edges of the
Great Sandy Desert , Barlee Ranges , Kennedy Ranges and through Rudal NP last year , towing a Trak Shak camper with 280 litres of fuel ,100 litres of water , 24 bottles of wine , a canoe and three weeks worth of food ( on rough tracks ) , I averaged 5 klm / litre , 20 litres / 100 klm . This went up to 5.8 klm / litre , 17.2 litres / 100 klm on better quality dirt roads .
I was a bit surprised at how low it was .
Cheers ,
Willie

I supose it would get to a point where none of us would have to post a thing because all questions would of been answered!! But then again those Fridge, Battery/12V questions never get answered properly so those will always be asked ;-))

hi, I tow 2.5 t caravan but mainly on bitumen, some dirt, and get 19/21 ltrs-100ks
fully loaded with provisions and water etc. done the west coast four times now always the same unless bad head winds! unloaded and not towing around 12ltrs/100ks.
Vehicle been very good and reliable but to quote the knockers "gutless" when towing. Im thinking of going to 78 series td for this reason.
