what sort of fuel consumption did you get
friends have a triton gas/petrol and are taking their trailer when we go in late july and just wondering what sort of run they will get with their fuel load

Hi Steve when we did it from
Birdsville to Dalhousie and i used about 75litres, which is around 17l/100, i was a tad overloaded i also carried an extra 30litres just in case, i put that in when i got to Dalhousie.
That was my worst economy for the whole trip, the rest of the trip i got around 13l/100.
Baz.

Geez Baz, did you have the missus pushing or what? I suspect that the triton may not be as good as that.
Kind regards

In 2004, LC100 with trailer,
well loaded up, Mt Dare to
Birdsville 691 km , 162 litres. This wasn't the most direct way to do it.
With all the info and warning signs at the start, I was surprised to come across 2 (separate) travellers running low on fuel.
