Fuel consumption / economy report

98 4500 with 229k. Was getting 18 around town to 26 when towing the 1500kg camper over hills. 23 when driving into head wind.
New CAT back sports exhaust with added hot dog to add some quiet but still noisier than old.
Now 16 around town. 18 when towing. 20 when towing hills.
Car feels like I have added two cylinders. Revs to redline way too quickly so I have to take care to keep it below 3000.
Best $900 investment ever. Wish I did it before last years half loop as I would have spent way less on fuel and had better chance to optimise fuel cost because stops could be further a part.

What model/product is that exhaust you are using? Do you have pictures?

Hey all, I've written a powershell script that calculates your fuel usage to the liters per 100klms. If you have windows 10 or higher you can use it. If anyone is interested I'll paste it into a post here with instructions how to load and run it.

Recently got the average fuel consumption of our '06 ex Telstra 4.2 Patrol, weighing in at close to it's uprated GVM of 3.9t, plus pulling our Tvan 95% of the time, (all towing in 4th or below). All up weight of around 5 to 5.1tonnes reducing as we used up supplies - say an average of around 5 tonnes & wearing 265/75R16 tyres, over the past five years in our jaunt up to the top end & back & a light right foot. Lots of off road in including some long distances in low ratio. Used the Fuel Map app. A few minor stuff ups with entries, but I think the average consumption we have is correct - it has been consistent all along. 15.82 litres per 100.
Lowest 11.99litres per 100 (driving very slow on sealed road to see how low we could get consumption between Katherine & Mataranka).
Highest 20.42 Litres per 100km (Including about 450kms in low ratio on the Munja Track).

I use this app for several years already. I guess my fuellups are contributing to the average consumption there.

If you can believe the bowsers, I was using 25 and 30 litres per 100 kilometres between Mildura and Bendigo. Only towing a partially loaded 5x8 trailer to Mildura. Bloody shocking. Yet from Bendigo back home, it was down to 17-18 litres per 100. Very sus if you ask me!!
