    ZD30 fuel consumption

    Hey all,

    When I first bought my p-troll back in march I was told by the salesman that I'd get 10.5L/100km on average. After owning it for a few months and doing the math I get around 11.2L/100km or 12.3L/100km if I ride her like a $2 hooker. Are these figures in the right ballpark? GU II 3L auto w/- a bullbar and two driving lights oh and a poxy wind deflector thing on the back.

    Also any tips or tricks to get a lil bit more fuel economy out of her will be greatly appreciated

    Cheers,

    Country_GU
