Thread: Arghhh not another one NO!!

If I was towing, I'd definitely go diesel.

I've seen 30 litres/100km when towing with the Rangie.

Hi
I would like to tell how far I got on my new long range tank on my 07 Discovery diesel, but when I went to fill it the fuel went all over the ground.
HHHMMMMM it would be a good idea to connect the filler neck to the tank.
Back to the garage I go.
cheers

And you admitted to this....lol
I like your style.....up front and personal...

Joel,

Probably depends on what you are towing...

But out on the open highway towing my camper trailer ( around a tonne) 16ltr/100km


But don't ask me about round town..... you don't want to know..

My D2 V8 Auto gives between 18 and 19 litres/100km towing a Jayco Penguin Outback camper trailer. On a recent trip from Canberra around SA and Victoria, with a mix of freeway, country roads, and some city driving it averaged 18.46. Much of the trip was 110 kph. It averages 16 litres/100km without the trailer, so a small van makes little difference. Can't speak for a large van.
Cheers.
