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

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.
