Hi Smudger

Was the shocker on the car or C/T?

I am planning on taking my Cub Supamatic Regal - off road C/T - on the trip. I'd be very interested in any guide as to their fuel consumption on the whole trip too.

I suppose tyres down to the 300mm footprint didn't help with the corrugations much either if they busted a C/T water tank.

Thanks for the replies

They didn't say, just that one of their party had to replace shockers with spares they were carrying. Evidently they had heaps of other water, so the split tank wasn't a drama either. As to fuel, they didn't elucidate. I got the impression that it wasn't so much heavy going, more like slow and tiresome because of the corrugations. They did say that from time to time they stopped to simply have a break from the relentless rattling. Sounds like any rig will be tested, which is what you should always plan for.

Travelled east to west four days ago by myself. I used 250L of diesel in a 200 series L/C.

From the eastern end to the WA border it has heavy corrugations and is overgrown.

Fuel at the community was $2.70L

I only came across one 4WD drive in eight days.
