Do i consider an average of 13.8 over 10,000kms to be a lot?? Hell no! Its amazing considering i drive around in the eastern suburbs of sydney and have a fridge, chairs, air compressor and recovery kit on board all the time.
In saying that dont be fooled either. The truck will drink whatever you force it to drink. I drive pretty normally with the odd squirt here and there (especially if theres a 200 on the radar). In 18 days we leave for Melbourne for easter so that will see another 3000kms clocked up on a return trip.

I can provide an interesting comparison to your Patrols average of 13.8 L per 100km fuel consumption 1nando.Quote:

I maintain a detailed log book and like your good self I carry luggage and have some recovery items, chain saw and fishing gear always on board.
My fuel consumption varies a little bit but is between a consistent 12 to 14 Litres per 100 kms.
Well i wasn't expecting that!
In saying that; my average in the eastern suburbs is around 16-17, on the highway its 10-11 and ive roughly done 50% of my kms on the highway and 50% stop start traffic.Quote:

The big negative of a petrol is that under serious load economy is greatly affected compared to a diesel. In saying that a diesel doesn't have the get up and go of a petrol.
The v8 in this thing is amazing!
More detail please (or your vehicle is desperately in need of tuning because that’s awful)...Quote:

And my favourite - define sedately [emoji6]
MIL has a V6 Vitara on oversize rubber with a lift that gets 9s...
My 2.7V6 Grand Vitara got 13L/100km around town, and i reckoned that was about right. Considering earlier Falcons got around 14L/100km around town.
[The GV did throw an O2 sensor code just as i went to sell it].
My tweaked XR6 got 13s and spent most of its time in town leaving the line at full stick (I was young)...
