I don't know really, just thought it wasn't to bad for a vehicle that size , max speed would have been about 95kph but the average was probably about 75kph or less

That's not bad.
I've just driven
Perth to
Dongara and back towing the Jayco.
Easter mahem trafic up and back, overtook everything in sight, no regard for fuel economy, a good head wind from
Dongara to about Eneaba (felt like I was towing someone elses Jayco as
well) and used 119 lts of diesel, and cost to refill in Gingin was $167.00

Yeah, sorry bout that!!!
3.0 Td GU Patrol Auto. 112,000 Klm just me and the missus and a full
water tank in the Jayco (about 940kg all up) and a half-full Waeco.
No comparison to your vehicle whatsoever, I just felt like chucking it in!

Doug,
That is about spot on as that works out to 7.8 km /lt at anavaerage speed of 75-80km/hr.Iusually travel at average speed of 95km/hr with my troopy and get an average of 7.5 km/lt so all is
well.

Doug,
The Boss & I went to the Isa on monday to pick up a new tojo turbo ute on tuesday. Course it wasn't ready, but got away early afternoon, back to
Winton, that night.
Filled up at
home, new ute took 107L, and the 2002 ute(also turbo) took 111L, for neat 700clicks. About 6.3 - 6.5 km/L. Not too bad on that road through
Kynuna, at 100-110 kph.
Wall to wall grasshoppers past
Kynuna, after dark. Flat out seeing through the w'screens by time we got to
Winton.
Country looks a picture from
Winton to the Isa. Not before time either.
Hooroo...
