    fuel range

    Since I have owned it I have never been through a full tank of diesel without having it in low range bush, high range beach work. The last tank got me 630km's. What sort of highway/around town range should I be getting from my County out of the 100l tank?

    I am running 33" Simex JT2's, roof rack, and LT95.

    Hey Dobbo

    I can see from the Avatar you bus is a County (I think) What powers it?

    I put 102 litres in mine this morning and it had travelled 1017k. I was pretty happy with that. Mind you, $174.90

    I have an 80L Tank. I get about 650km between fills, and put between 70 and 75L in.

    I routinely get 1200km from my total of 140litres (80 + 60) without running out, but I get anxious much over 1000km - both gauges underread.

    Can i assume by your almost exact fuel comsumption yours has an LT85 as well or is it the Country driving

    I suppose due to my tyres, heavy roof rack and lack of a 5th gear and adding the extra 50km's on the odometer to account for the tyres 14l/100 isn't that bad

    Yep, but I can't see it making a huge difference. Well not as much as driving style anyway. Btw - I have 33's - so the speedo is spot on.

    The ABSOLUTE WORST I have ever experienced in a county (again LT85) was when DaveS and I were driving one through the headwinds from hell in Wyoming. We had a heavy steel roofrack, ammo boxes on the roof, and the fastest we could go was 80-90km/h in 3rd, foot flat to the floor. Wouldn't pull 4th or 5th. We averaged 16.5L/100km over that leg. I was amazed.

    Headwinds were easily 100km/h.
