Hoping someone can answer these:

1. How have the average fuel consumption figures in the Treks been determined? Just wondering whether a specific vehicle model was used, or whether they are some sort of guess.

2. In the Driving Directions section (and in the summary at the start of each Trek) there's a total driving time for the trip listed. As an example the Anne Beadell Hwy trek lists the total time from Laverton to Coober Pedy as "1 day 1hr 34 min". Where does that number come from? I assume it is simply the total distance divided by average speed. Appears to me to be a meaningless number. Total time to cover the trek is, to me, more relevant.

3. Is there any way of telling just how up to date the information within the Trek notes is? For example, using the AB again in one part it says "in some sections it is heavily washed out and in others there it is a little corrugated". From what I've read elsewhere "a little corrugated" is not exactly correct - the corrugations are supposedly quite severe towards the eastern end. My question would also pertain to the required permits - they could change over time. So knowing when a trek was created is important.

Cheers from the Moose
