Max 4th gear (manual), mostly around 80km/h at around 2000rpm. Some steep climbs back to 3rd, 50km/h at 2500rpm. Burnt 33 litres at 15.3l per hundred uphill. Pretty happy with that.
Another quick trip, not towing. 570km mostly at 110km/h - 81.28l used at 14.25l/100.
Return trip 540km mostly at 100km/h - 70.76l used at 13.1l/100.

So I thought I would record my usage as I’ve never really done it.
This was fully loaded, 4 people, towing the Off-road Swan up and over from Omeo to Bright, the car absolutely copping a flogging. 19.6ltrs per hundy...
This is Y62 territory. @Winnie ; we need an upgrade!!

I got 17.5 for the same kind of driving but didn't tow as far as you.
Would absolutely love a Y62 but could not part with the GQ.

I reckon what we’ve done in the last week of t was in a 62, the memories of the GQ would be forgotten.
