    No - LT95, but I doubt it makes much difference - if you look at the curves for the 4BD1, in common with most diesels, there is little change in specific fuel consumption with rpm, suggesting that there will be little improvement in fuel economy with higher gearing. (just quieter and less stressful with the LT85)

    Similarly for country driving - unlike petrol engines, with diesels you get relatively little difference in city/country, and the improvement that there is from not having the stop/start driving is usually swamped by the higher consumption at high speeds with the rather unstreamlined body. In fact, I find the only thing that seems to change the fuel consumption is speed. I did a test during my trip to WA last year, and found that cutting cruising speed from 110kph to 90kph resulted in about 10% improvement in consumption.

    Consumption seems to be pretty independent even of towing, unless very heavy, perhaps because I drive a bit slower when towing.

    Largely depends on fuel quality up here. One tank a couple of weeks ago returned me 9.5lt/100km, filled up same place and next tank went back to 10.5-11lt/100km.
    I get very little differance towing aswell, might blow out to 11.5 at worst.

    Don't know about your County Dobbo, but a mate had an Isuzu engined Stage 1, and on a trip up the Canning Stock Route he averaged 10l/100, which I reckon was pretty special. That would be the same box as yours too I think.
