having a rum or 3 at the mo and doing some planning - thanks to some inspiration from Bucky and Viv...
hows this sounding?
for example I know but here goes...
approx 10,000km
car gets 10lt / 100kim - which i know will be more but keepin it simple!
= 1000lt usage...
ave cost $3 (taking into account of csr....over estimate and it could be a good thing)
= $3000 for fuel....
did i do
well.....
my thinking is going from more than likely
Tamworth - Mt isa -
Halls creek via buchanan hwy etc...-
horizontal waterfall - csr - maybe simpson crossing -
tamworth.....6weeks....
thoughts...???

Straight highway driving, you will get good fuel consumption.
Rough dirt roads, it will drop about 10-15 %
Desert driving I work on 1/2- 2/3 ( eg the Simpson in 2005 ) took me 95 lts to get from
Birdsville to
Oodnadatta.
Highway towing ,,, forget it ,,but generally 7.5-8 km/lt
