TD42 fuel consumption
Looking at a few TD42 wagons for my first car and I'm just wondering what fuel economy around town?
From what I've gathered it can be anywhere from 12-18/100?
I'm also wondering if a turbo improves economy as there is another one with a turbo.
Obviously I don't expect it to be super economical but being still in school and working part time, I still need to be able to run the thing!

Yeah if they are well kept and maintained a stocker or even a very mild turbo setup should see you at around 11-13 per 100

Hay mate. Just done a few different trips to compare for you
First up the td42 with half a million on the clock, non turbo. Travelling around 100k/h
Towing a 1.2t camper trailer and a fully loaded lwb gq with camping gear, 2 adults and 2 children from mount gambier to handorf, threw the hills of Adelaide got us 16L/100k.
Then the next time just the loaded car with camping gear, 2 adults and 2 kids returned figures of 12.1L/100k..
So if well maintained the are very good, even when towing..

Yea mate. A turbo helps, but does add a little to those figures. They ain't quick, but reliable..

They don't add to much. Ben-e's td42 is running 200+hp at 20 odd psi and can still return figures around the 12-13/100 mark. They are quite a good engine.

just to through that in after all those years...
just drove from WA to NSW. 4700km with a detailed list of how many liters I put in.
driving the TD42 with gas, fully loaded with lots of campingstuff, a full roof rack, bedconstruction and so on, max 100km/h.
10.6L diesel per 100km + 2.0L gas per 100km
I'm pretty happy with that
