Having just been from
Adelaide to
Brisbane and return covering 4,239 km I achieved the following in my 2000 4.2 Turbo GU Patrol. There was a strong headwind between
Broken Hill and Nevertire and gentle quartering tailwind on the return on this sector. All other winds were variable. Average open road speed was 100 kmh where possible. Vehicle had no roof rack or trailer and a moderate internal load.
Diesel - 11.42 L/100km Gas 3.83 L/100km.
This is to answer many posted questions on consumption and has no bearing on any other vehicle manufactured before or in the future as there are no doubt others with greatly varying figures who will query and/or criticise this information.

Have had 2003 Patrol 4.2 TD I/C on gas since April last year (missed rebate...bugger). I for one will not criticise your info. Sounds right on my experience, except I probably travel a little more leadfoot, and do not keep accurate figures. I may be doing a run from here to
Yowah (Qld) and back next week. Might see if I can produce any meaningful figures.
I like it because I put it in 5th, and only have to change for lower speeds. It turns a diesel into a responsive, quiet and grunty motor.
I like you am more than happy with it.
