You cannot get a 4.2td GU patrol with an auto box.
Fuel consumption on
mine is...
Fully loaded with roof rack..... .......15.5Ltr/!00
Mt. without Roof rack ...... .....14.5ltr/100
Towing van Fully loaded + R/rack 19.5ltr/100
Yes they like fuel but just keep on going n going n going n going.
And
mine has been tickled a bit with motsons stage 2 update.

If you want a slush bucket (auto) you will have to go the Grenade (3 ltr) or the petrol 4.5 or 4.8 both juice chewers.
The speeds are at speed limit when no van and at 95kph towing van.
Wife loves fishing too.....yep I'm lucky.
Also the 4.2 is no race vehicle but will just hang in there when wanted.

G'day Nick
Like dodger my 4.2 (2005 TDI wagon with a bit done to the engine) gets about 14 l's per 100 on it's own and abt 16 - 17 l's per 100 towing my camper which weighs abt 1200 fully loaded.
great engine even if a bit old fashioned these days.
Cheers

Hi Nick
I have a 92 Patrol wagon 4.2 ltr with a roof rack I get about 15ltrs to the 100ks around town and on the highway sometimes a little better. With the T-Van on I get around 18ltrs /100kms so pretty similar to above not the greatest fuel consumption but you can't have everything.
Cheers
Graham

G day Nick
Welcome aboard
7.8 km/lt normal driving, back and forward to work.
Am now up to 6.5 km/lt towing the Camper, since I had the injectors, and reset the fuel pump done.
Figures into a strong head wind and towing, on way up to
Alice Springs (2009 trip) 5.2 km/lt but we were 4.7 tonne.
IN a Ute, you would be getting probably 1 km/lt more, but that will depend on the state of the fuel pump, and the injectors, and how your right foot is used.
If you are searching for fuel useage in trips...
1) Go to
Treks
2) Go ExplorOz
Treks
3) Go RHS os Australian Map, pick your state, then your Trek eg... Qld..
Cape York
4) Open Trek, in Pop Up
5) Go Fuel Supplies and Useage or read up on heaps of information
6) Go Fueltrek at the bottom of that paragraph
I love reading the blog and article's section
Cheers
Bucky

Thanks every one for your replys GREAT a special thanks to Bucky for that oztrek fuel usage thingo very helpful thanks
i notice that the fuel usage on
treks like birdsvill/canning dint use much differant to vehical loaded on the road . as i have read you need to carry 50% more when doing these type of
treks (keeping in mind no fuel stops ) but quite often i find that this is not the case . any comments on this ?

Nick , this is typical of several recorded trips -->
On a 6 day trip, 230lt 1133km 4wd trip from
Birdsville to
Alice springs via
Hay river track we recorded everyone's fuel use and the 4.2 TD GU was worst of diesels at about 16lt/100km as below or about 22% less than my petrol Patrol.
4800 Petrol Patrol (Robin) 20.2lt/100km over the 1133km
60 series diesel 15.7lt/100km over 1133km
Navara 3lt nissan diesel 13.2lt/100km over 1133km
4.2 Patrol 16lt /100km
Pajero Exceed Petrol approx 19lt/100km
Range Rover V8 approx 22lt/100km

Thanks Robin interesting the fuel consumption on the pajero
i'd be happy with the 16 lt/100 i would think this was in the desert & hard going with loaded vehicals ,was the
hay road difficult ?
thanks for your reply

Yes and the Pajero was an automatic , whereas my petrol patrol was manual.
I wouldn't rate the
Hay back then as hard but it has got easier.
We drove it near start of season and there were sections without any tracks in
places and you had to walk ahead of car sometimes and find the next bit, but it was that year that the
Hay track became popular and I think somw 200 cars drove it after us.
It was dry then and we even drove some of the
Hay river bed - magic stuff - now its probably tp soggy.
