How much fuel will a GQ use?
Hi,
any guesses on how much mileage I will get?
planning on doing a run through the Tanami again, and testing out the 'New' DA Maverick (rebadged GQ).
She will be carrying a bit of weight and have a loaded up roof, but won't be towing anything.
She runs on diesel, and don't have no turbo thingy
Thanks

I regularly see about 13.5 L/100km but I also run muddies 24/7. This is also up and down hills all the time. If I was on a flat road I would expect about 12L/100km.

I had a diesel Mav ute, its was better round town on fuel and my best was about 10l/100km, highway was about 11-12l/100km, i think it was revving a little high for a diesel at 100km/h but was great on fuel, didn't seem to make much difference if it had a moderate load or not. interesting to see how my 'new' diesel wagon goes with 4" lift and 33" muds.
If you going through hell...Keep going
GQ wagon locked - lifted - 33's, 02 SS ute, XB coupe 460bb, KTM530

Just got back from Loveday in SA towing a 1 ton camper and got 16l/100km so was pretty happy with that towing a ton and car fully loaded with head wind too.

Youll get better economy with a small trailer on the rear than loading that roof up
The excess wind resisdance will effect the economy really bad
Driving style, hills, weight, wind resisdance will all effect economy
