Wow - good economy. I never get better than 12L/100 out of mine and on a trip towing a Camper trailer or Jayco Hawk Van get anything from 14-17 L/100. And don't even start me with headwinds when towing!! (maybe I have an issue somewhere? - or a heavier right foot than some - although I need it as performance isn't the best, which may lead back to having an issue?)You can just stretch it to 115km/h(on GPS - 130odd on speedo)on a long flat stretch with no wind.
Mine's a 97 model just about to click over 300k - I've owned for 5 years and 60K. Just the usual problems, wheel bearings, a new head & radiator at 270K, a seized alternator (at Kings canyon of all places!), Dodgy A/C that needs re-gas every summer, water leak onto passengers feet, bad sealing doors. Otherwise a generally relliable vehicle that is up to a range of tasks. A limited slip Diff (or Locker) would be handy at times. I have left my suspension std but the airbag thing could be an idea as I find if I'm running round empty a bit, I lower the rear tyres pressures to the low 30's (psi) to soak up some of the bumps.
Enjoy
