Ok I filled my tank up this morning and calculated that I did 12.68L/100 so like I said I was sitting on 80-90kph nearly all the trip

i dont have an issue with what i paided i got it for 5500 and it has 210000 klms on it it has 2 small issues the drivers side exhaust has a leak between the manifold and the exhust and the front roters need machining. new pads allround 50% tread on the Pirelli Scorpions ATR's wear mark on drivers seat. a good buff and polish and it will be 100% better

Sounds like you got a bargain! Happy landroving!

I just did a run from Bundy across to the Wondai area (via Maryborough) in the wife's D1. Sat on 98-102 on cruise most of the way until it ran out of gas at 308kms. I then put 51.2 lts back in it. That works out at 16.6 lt/100km.

The Disco is a 96 3.9 auto with 175,000 Ks on it. Standard wheels/tyres/ride height, A/C off, drivers window down and all but empty except for me and a stupid roof basket I forgot to takeoff before I left.

good luck with the disc machining driftwagon,,;)

You'd have to be happy with that Paul,,,
