Well my first trip in the patrol today 250km round trip used just over quarter of a tank was very impressed. 20 water crossing very beautiful scenery thoughout the valleys plenty of dust and wild life, got bogged once thanks to the recent dozer work in the state Forrest and inexperience and mud in the old tyres. But was helped up the hill by my mate. the whole family had a ball! Only drama was once on way home on tarmac rhr tyre decided to blow :-( and then to learn the tyres on it are older then the car made in 2002... So this week the old girl will get new shoes and be ready for our next trip can't wait

Even if you only lower to 30 psi it helps,
at least you can drive on hwy if you forget your compressor
