Hi All
Well I have doing a check on my diesel usage
Truck MQ Nissan 1986 3.3 Turbo Diesel Weight 3.5 Tonne
Test over 1000 Km
16.14 Litres per 100Km
6.196 Kms Travel per Litre
Surface 25% Dirt Tracks
40% Hard Sand Beach low Tide
10% Soft Sand above High Tide Mark
25% on that Black Surface Hwy
I was wondering how this compares to some of the new Trucks with all the Computer controls.
Or is my
old Truck just a fuel eater.

sounds about right, soft sand and beach works really pushes up the consumption, try doing the
test just on the black top and see what you get. Col

I get around 15l/100km on the blacktop fully loaded and doing 95-110km/h with 285 tyres

G'day there - seems "On par" with what we experience with our 80 series aftermarket turbo'd 1HZ.
Of course when fully rigged up and out with 3.35T engineer certified GVM LC towing our 3.5T off road caravan that changes - to 5 to 5.2k/l or 20 - 19.2L / 100k. That is 6.85T all up on a 4.2 litre donkey! It would be nice to better but we are happy with it compared to some others we have encountered. All our figures are from our fuel log book records over 2 years now!
Cheers - Mobi

Remember too that the money required to trade it in for a later model vehicle will buy lots of fuel!

Exactly. The break even day would be at about 300,000kms, (depending on the deal) or possibly never.

And in answer to the Question, My GU would probably use 7-8 kms/litre under the same conditions so would save a few cents so long as it doesn't wilt under the pressure again.
