With my 'baby' 255/85/16's(:pAsh), Turbo intercooled and LT95 with .996:1 High range, I get easily 12l/100 mix of highway and town. I have got down to 11l/100, but that is only if I sit under 100km'hr.
The towing of our Campertrailer and a full load/fuel etc adds very little to the consumption, usually goes to 13l/100 but If I sit around 90km/h it is about the same as unladen:)
I have no Roofrack...YET:twisted:

****ed if I know how, I can;t beat 14/100 out of my N/A 120" and a shade under 12 in my RR:(Quote:

I will do Sydney-Hervey Bay-Brisbane on less than a tank (130l) towing a box trailer.

Nothing better than passing family cars going uphill though.

So, as soon as you have a decent engine and a strong enough gearbag we will begin...:twisted:
Hi to both of you, from all of us!
JC etc
I know this is an old post, but I just got home from a 2600km trip, mostly highway, bit off bush tracks and bit of beach, and constantly average 10.5-10.8L/100km.
I thought that was pretty good for a 25yr old truck with a 4 speed box. And I wasn't going easy on it, sitting on 110 most of the time on the highways, sometimes up to 115 (she doesn't like going that quick though! - I was trying to keep up with a mate in his V6 rodeo).
Around town I usually average about 11-11.5l/100.
Seeing as though this thread has re-surfaced, thought I should add my bit too. Did a similar trip to cheyne_r over christmas - about 2500kms, mainly highway, but with some dirt and hilly stuff, sitting on the speed limit all the time (except on the hills - no turbo:(), air-con on for most of it, and averaged 9.8l/100kms. Am however running the 5 speed, but was still surprised that the mileage was so good even when pushing the truck pretty hard (have to do 120 on the clock to actually be going at 110km/h)
Probably only use another 1l/100 around town too.
