Patrol God
From Ballan to Christmas hills and a bit of city driving then to a service centre on the freeway. 255 km for 37 litres. 14.5 km/l. Not too bad with two adults and fully loaded with camping gear.

Beginner
First test untouched truck, 93, 4.2 non turbo, neglected, 540,000 km, Automatic, Shorty.
20L/ 100km
Then new injectors, new rocker assembly, oils, filters, Manual conversion, 31 inch tires,
Best was when nursed along at 80-90km/hr on long trip mostly flat 10.6 L/100km
Worst was 12.5/ 100km pushing it along in the high 2000rpm range on a hot day.
Average Highway driving on hot day 95-100km/hr 11.8L/100km
Today I filled it at 600km with the needle halfway between the 1/4 and empty (71L)
I reckon in cold climates they will go better but these sorts of numbers are ok with me.

I kid you not. 13.098 l/100ks, with the new engine, running tuned to 95 RON petrol. It was just me with all the seats fitted and the winch loaded with rope instead of steel cables and a full tank of juice. It was mainly highway but with plenty of hills to give it a squirt. 52.6 ks at 6.89 l.

2001 GU TD42T. No IC. Engine and cooling system stock as a rock. 33" tyres. Pulled a 2.8 tonne trailer yesterday 220km from sea level up to approx 520m above sea level. 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.

I've never been the one to worry about/ look at fuel consumption, on any of my cars. I just get in and drive it and when it needs fuel, it gets it. Lol.

Since we left Broome in June '19 . Lots of corrugated/bull dusty roads plus a reasonable amount of low range driving where consumption rose to almost 21 litres per 100. Mostly towing the Tvan with a vehicle & van combined weight of around 5 tonne. We take it pretty easy. Average around 80kph on flat bitumen, with occasional 'squirts' above 110kph when needed. Rarely exceed 3000rpm, or 450 deg.C EGT. Without the Tvan & with water tanks empty best has been just under 12l per 100km , but 13 to 14 litres per 100km is more usual. Average 90ph to 100kph when not towing.

My Patrol is on a Novated Lease with $300 P/Month Fuel Allowance, so Fuel Economy is something I watch a little. If my Torque App is correct, I get about 20Lt/100klm, much higher then Nissan's stated 13Lt/100klm . . . but I recognise my Patrol is not a stripped down off the production line Patrol either.
I've wonder a thew times if it's worth putting My Ute into a Diesel Tune Workshop just to see if it can be retuned to get better Fuel Economy.
