that is a very impressive figure

Now that's the sort of consumption I'd like to see on my TD5 auto (sigh!)

Cheers,

I can only have wet dreams of those sorts of figures

I will hook the camper up in april and do some gravel and sand, I'll bet that will change things a fair bit!

Terrific stuff! I was getting similar figures .. then I put on the roof rack and went up to 12l/100km .. then I put on the roof top tent

It's suprising the difference a roof rack makes. When I put one on my Disco (300tdi), fuel consumption went from a very consistent 8.2L/100km to a very random 9.5ish L/100km. It may have to come off after the holidays.

Yes they are amazing really. I returned to Mackay from Sunshine Coast on New Years Day with 4 adults and absolutley chockers with my daughters uni gear. The computer says I averaged 96.7 km/hour (Bruce Highway north of Rocky includes a fair bit of 110km/hr speed limit). Fuel consumption was 9.6 litres/100 km. My best mileage so far with just me in the D3 is 7.9 litres/100km, but mostly in the mid 8's on the highway and up to 10 to 11 around town.

Don't drive my Rangie then.

A sluggish 3.5 EFI fitted with a 'crapper flapper' system, 33' tyres, 4 inches of lift (body and springs overall) ad std gearing, if I get 400 kms from a 110 tank I'm doing bloody well

Back on topic, that's bloody good fuel economy I must say.
