I just got back from an Outback trip covering 7817 Kms from Geelong to Darwin, including lots of gravel roads, Innaminca, Birdsville, Simpson Desert, Hay River Road as well as a lot of blacktop, so a good mix of road type and average speed.Quote:

Average consumption worked out to 14.8 L/100km, but this is the heaviest I've ever loaded the County for a trip and we also had a rooftop tent and roof rack which wouldn't help with aerodynamics.
All well worth it though.......it was a great trip. To make the most of the time we had, we drove the trip one way, then flew home. The County was trucked home at a cost of $1250 from Darwin to Melbourne.
