Well! I had to pry it off my wife! So much for buying myself a new car hey!.
It's very comfy, heaps of power, heaps of room, eveything works, great fuel economy for what it is, hanging to do some mods like bar and stuff. Haven't had it offroad yet, been a tad busy.

Now I just need to offload all my rover stuff

What are u averaging L/100km?

Ive already managed 18,500kms in 7 months and my average has been 14.4 since day 1 according to the computer.

Bang on 14L/100, we have been towing for about 1/4 of the 2000km we have done so far.

What if the computer is serving up rosey bullturd. Are you measuring fuel usage at the pump?

I use the MyCars app on android to log fuel/service expenses on my vehicles. The TDI has 11.8 average over 50k, mostly loaded up touring. Lowest 6.9, highest 19

If the Y62 genuinely averages 14 after a good amount of mixed use, that would be a very good score. But Id never be able to acheive that if it sucks down 30+ with the foot down. How can you resist!

I measure at the pump every fill and the computer is excellent!

I wish my fuel gauge was as good however. The thing reads empty on mine and still has 30 liters in the tank. In saying that some might like that its conservative.

I average 17-18 in the eastern suburbs of Sydney with constant stop start traffic and 10-12 On the highway.

Went camping out at gulgong 2 weeks ago and crossed the blue mountains where i was stuck in some horrible traffic, some light 4wding and back to sydney and the pump measurement was 12.89 liters per 100. With myself, a full tank and camping gear i was easily 3.1-3.2 ton. Thats not bad considering when the traffic started to move i blasted past every other loaded diesel fourby....
