    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!!

    Fuel consumption / economy report

    In younger ‘illegal ignorance sillier’ days once almost ‘halved’ a GU TD42T DX utes vinyl floor model own work fuel consumption by hauling 4.5T ATM/GTM on a float trailer to Mildura from the Yarra Valley.
    4th gear...peddle full to the rubber mat for 6hrs (one desperately needed fuel stop IIRC) ....poor old thing couldn’t get above 70-75kmph into the prevailing NW winds.
    Somewhat soon after was kindly future educated about EGT gauges, crikey the tough old girl in hindsight must’ve ran at 700C+ ++ Exhaust Gas Temperatures for 1/4 of an Aussie hot headwind day
    I swear it ran faster off tow and carbon free once we unloaded and completed the job......don’t try this method though

    EDIT: “Doubled”

    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.

    You definitely need and genuinely hard working deserve a Y62 ASAP Mudski Mate.....just do it Brother
    She aint going to fit up Barkley River Jeepy Wanky track but hey, that’s why I’m going back to a Y60 skinny weekender warrior instead of a Y61 fatter variant that never fits without $$damage
    Horses for Courses and I’m too dreaming one day of a Y62 Harroped UP and or a nicely done LS Y61 for retirement Beach/Sea Change weaponary if we can make it that far Brother
