Towing a 3.5 tonne caravan I average about 22 litres per 100kms.

I'm glad I ain't too scared to be lazy

Hi Thomo
3.5 (plus) tonne Kedron sitting on 100, 110 kph average 20/22 lphk's
Today travelling from Marble Bar to Newman pulling the van didnt go over 85 kph returned 17 lphk's.
Best ever reading was a run from the Hunter Valley to Canberra (without van of course) 10.3 lphk's & no cruise control.
Hope this helps


CU down the road

hmm...

According to my iPhone app (RoadTrip):

Driving around town (not towing): 10.3l/100km
Towing horse-float and horse: 16.7l/100km

However - the values can vary wildly, depending on the quality of the fuel.

To be honest - I never had a good run with BP diesel. Not only it is more expensive, but it uses more if it too.
