My 6th Patrol is now a Y62

I am off in a couple of days time for about a 600 k round trip towing a full size 2.8 ton off road van and will let you know how it goes. I am hoping for 19-23 l/100k's as that appears to be the range, a lot depends on wind direction and your speed. I will update in just over a weeks time. I have done 2 fills and ordinary driving used 7.6l/K and 7.3l/K 80% country and 20% city. I am quite amazed at how economical they are but don't put you foot down too fast or hard when taking off. cheers!

That's ltrs per 100 k I hope lol

If it is per 100km, it sounds too good to be true??? And if it is per km... well. He'll need to tow a tanker behind him instead of his camper.

That's what I was thinking as well surely those calculations are off

7.3kay per litre is a very respectable 14lt per hundred if that is how it is to be interpreted....better than my td42 GQ

OK I got 'em arse about, it was 7.6 &b 7.3 K/L. Around 13.4l/100k's. We also have an Xtrail 7 yo and there is no black soot in the tail pipe like there is in the Y62. Black soot indicates to me that it is running a bit rich as well. Will have a look after a long run. cheers!

Still too early yet but after 261k's I could only get 49.4 litres in the tank. (19.4l/100k's) same as my GU 8 deisel it's range 17-20l/100k's same van with 200l's extra water to tow. The trip was light crosswinds, fairly hilly and at 90-100k/hr same speeds except I could easily keep over 80K/hr on any of the hills. I am very impressed with it's towing ability. Relaxing on a beach for a few days before towing home and it will be against a headwind and will let you know how we go. cheers!!
