    Interesting, I get town/highway numbers in the same sort of range.
    But that's with a 6L L76 and matching 6sp auto.

    better than brothers ex 4.5lt GU on Gas.
    Used to get about 3k/lt loaded with family and relevant stuff, but not towing.
    He once towed a 6x8 trailer and still got similar fuel figures. I reckon trailer was about 500kg or so.

    My D2 with steel roofrack, front and rear bars is getting 16-17L/100km on the highway, but more like 19 around town/home (in the hills). Doesn't seem to change much once I hook the camper trailer up.

    When I first got my 79 Series I was expecting massive fuel costs But I was pleased to see that even loaded up to GVM and towing a 20 foot Jayco it only used 15l per 100km

    I can remember Rovercare towing a car trailer back from NSW with a RRC on it and his modded Isuzu 120 (or was it a RRC with modded Isuzu?) fuel consumption went from 11 l/100 to 13.
