GU ZD30 economy

[Rosco]

Hi, I have been looking for a thread about the economy of a ZD30 but can't find one.
I would like to hear what economy people are getting out of there's. Both manual and auto.
Thanks
Ross

07 CRD auto with bullbar, spotlights, towbar, rear drawers, winch, uhf aerial around the 13L/100kms......with rhinorack full length alloy roof basket and 4 crossbars attatched to roof with side awning, rear awning and shovel holder with shovel goes up to about 16L/100kms......when touring the outback on muddies (LT275/65R16 MTZ's) plus with everything including, 2nd spare tyre, maxtrax and spare parts box on roof basket, camper being towed would be lucky to get below 19-20L/100kms and that is at 90kph, add hills and a headwind and it hits 23-24L/100kms. Yeah it's not the greatest economy but for a little engine doing a big job, then me adding more to it, it doesn't do too bad...well I think anyway.

I get 13.3 L/100kms mainly around town with some highway driving, and hope to improve on this once I finish the NADS mods
