Damn you Sir, kindly leave the stage, you have stolen my line. I use this all the time when potential buyers of Rangies phone me to get advice, and they usually ask"what fuel economy can I expect"

after you explain about the scintillating performance and WONDERFUL exhaust note,
they buy it anyway!!!

Just a follow up.
I asked Cousin John about the fuel consumption on his Simpson Desert trip in the County.
He rubbed his stubbled chin for some time before responding:
"Appalling"
So traumatic was the experience that he has expunged this detail from his memory. He muttered "14 mpg on a good day" at some point in the conversation.
I was sorry I raised the subject.
Hence the diesel transplant.
through the simpson BUB91 used nearly 3 times the fuel of a 200TDi.
G'day All,
Fuel consumption? I used 46 litres in six hours driving around Stockton beach yesterday, a run from Anna Bay, to the wreck and back via soft dunes and inland tracks, but that included 3 recoveries. Two Nissans & a Prado.
Still the sound and power are worth it!, with the auto & the V8 magic in the soft sand!
:twisted:

thanks guys!
the longest trip this county will do will be from Biloela to
Agness waters(2hr drive) with tents and surf boards on.
and owning a v8 disco with open pipes! there is no coparrison
to a throaty rover!
thanks again DW
Stop talking in mpg you old gits.
Litres / 100kms is more useful for us young folk...
well, young-ish. :wink:

but I wonder how many of us use Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) rather than the metric Kilopascals or Bar for tyre pressures. :?

The county will probably get similar milage to the 2a with a Holden in it, just that you won't have to flogg it like the Holden to get to 100Kph :oops: So driven sensibly it should return from 15 to 19 on highway and 12-15 around town, it will just be a lot more comfortable (Coils, Boosted brakes,Windup Windows) gota be a bonus, and heaps of room underneath to Gas it [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
