    l322, recently travelled Oodnadatta track

    Hi Guys FYI,
    I have just came back from touring the Alice Springs area in my L322 4.4 vogue 02model.
    I travelled from Gippsland to Adelaide, Oodnadatta track, Alice Springs, West Mcdonald rangies, Ayers Rock and back home through Mildura, Echuca region.
    Very impressed with the vehicle. I was towing a jayco outback hawk which preformed very well.
    Fuel economy fiqures- Oodnadatta track 17.5lt/100kms
    Cruising along the sealed roads 15.5lts/100kms
    Long term average towing 16.5lts/100kms over a total of 7300kms travelled.
    It got better fuel economy than a toyota trooper diesel non turbo model 90's model towing a smaller camper trailer than mine which travelled with us.

    It also performed well 4wd over rocks into Palm Valley with stock road tyres.
    I would recommended one of these vechicles to anyone.

    Regards Paul

    Ha - I thought you must be towing a monster camper trailer with those fuel figures, until I noticed you are not driving a diesel but the V8

    Still not too bad overall. Nice way to get around the countryside.

    Cheers

    I don't think I'll ever sell our L322. There is simply no better way to get around apart from flying.

    Normal highway fuel figures for the 4.4 are about 12.8 lt/100km although I do have a relatively heavy foot. I knew the fuel figures would be high and am actually quite pleasantly surprised that they are as low as they are.

    I cannot fault the vehicle at all.........yet.

    Good form mate. I was thinking of doing a similar trip from Bris if not this season, next dry.. Aside from Palm Valley, did you do much off road? What tyres were you running?

    Cheers

    I used michellin 19inch highway tyres, I didn't do to much off road. If it is dry you want have any drama's. I carried two spares. Along the oodnadatta track you can get tyres repaired / replaced but no one carries 19inch tyres. You see alot of vechicles with mud terrians but i think it's a bit of a over kill and plus they flick up more rocks onto your camper.
