G'day all
Have just returned from the
Kimberley's 5 weeks of pleasure. 8,000 kms towing our Pioneer Camper trailer
Fuel consumption is around 6km / L at highway speed of around 100 - 105 kph (allowing for speedo error ex factory). Didint seem to improve much when slow 4x4 of road without camper...maybe a little less than 7)
Question to those with the same vehicle. How does that feul consumption compare...have any put a chip in? ( if so which one) or modified the exhaust? (if so what)
did anything positive happen that encourages me to do the same?
thanks all

6 litres per km
5 litres per km = 20 litres per 100km = $400 per 1000km ($2)
6 litres per km = 16.66 litres per 100km = $333 per 1000km ($2)
7 litres per km = 14.28 litres per 100km = $285 per 1000km ($2)
About 6 litre per km is about what I would expect towing.
No, I do not run a 70 series V8
I am hoping to get a 200 series and if I can tow at around 16 litres per 100km I'll be happy.
Alan

There! might make more sense now - sorry for that.
6 km per Litre
5 km per Litre = 20 litres per 100km = $400 per 1000km ($2)
6 km per Litre = 16.66 litres per 100km = $333 per 1000km ($2)
7 km per Litre = 14.28 litres per 100km = $285 per 1000km ($2)
About 6 km per litre is about what I would expect towing.

Sorry to disappoint Alan.
You can expect 19 l/100k best. 23 per at worst.
Whether it's the 70 or the 200, when those ponies are asked to work, they like to be fed.
cheers
