Hi Sand Man, thanks for the info. Bog standard out of the dealer i was getting 8Lt per 100Km around town, i travel across the traffic and work shift work so traffic is always
Sydney "medium". Since putting the larger tyres on plus the heavy duty
suspension, long range tank, shelves, fridge and other permanent fixtures that has deteriorated to between 9 and 9.5 Lt per 100Km depending on which shift i am on for the week. With some careful monitoring and exact measurements the average fuel consumption figure given by the readout is .2 Lt per 100Km less than actual.
With this in mind, the trip i am planning is going to see a month of fully loaded travel across some pretty rough tracks, a lot of 4wd and some low range as
well i suspect. i can only imagine this will have quite an affect on fuel consumption and given past performance, i am expecting to use up to as much as 15Lt per 100Km.
One of the things i do love about this vehicle is the
information given on the dash as far as fuel consumption data goes and the range of choices you have on readout. A very handy addition indeed.
