    AdBlue

    What consumption of AdBlue would you expect. Disco 5 towing caravan. Currently doing 1L per 100km. Seems excessive.

    Grossly excessive. A 15 litre, 600 hp Cummins doesn't use that much.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    SWMBOs 2020 Jeep has adblue, turning off stop start significantly reduces consumption but it only uses about a litre per 1000KM

    Required on any Euro 6 engine as mentioned so to sell them in Europe you need to add the government juice. Guess they don’t buy Hiluxs over there… AdBlue

    But it could be here soon as well - it’s being considered - Australia considers move to Euro 6/VI - F&L Asia
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    So the vehicles don’t need to be Euro 6 in this country,at the moment,but the manufacturer has left them Euro 6,to save changing them.
    Causing an inconvenience to the owners here.

    AdBlue

    Just did 12000 Km to Western Australia and back to Victoria towing a caravan. Used 1 litre of AdBlue per 120 kms. Not happy.
    Anybody with any solutions.

    Sounds like something is wrong with your adblue system, what vehicle?
