How much does your mains and sub hold?
My mains is 90 and my sub is 75. The thing that sucks my juice is that the pod sticks out about 6 inches all round. No it's not what you're thinking so get back on track. lol
Now, I've got an oversize pod, and a lot of my driving is into a head wind. Only worked it out once so far and 16l/100k's. Mine's a 4.2 TDi

I am a lucky person. My overlaiden with steel trol gets around 300l per tank. So you think that is really bad huh! Nah, I only have a 60l tank in my truck. They took the standard tank out and put in a smaller one for the comp work. Hehehe

my old GQ shorty (td4.2-manual) would get around 700 km from a tank, about 12l per 100Km on highway and 13-14 towing or going uphills.

In my 4.5L petrol/ gas GU waggon I get approx 360-400kms on 90L of gas depending on how hard I drive.

Open road or around town - or mix of both?

My worst was a 1000km run to Vic (A/C on most of the day) just after I got the Nissan with 32 STT's - 16.9L/100
And it didnt improve around town, on STT's or OEM.
Now have done EGV, Butterfly, 2T 200:1, 3" pipe now getting 14.4L/100 around town on stock OEM rubber.
Will have the STT's on this weekend for a 400klm highway and some serious off road stuff so will post results of that test.
Getting just over 1200klm from a "fill". Have got 83 ltrs in the sub tank.

2010 GUD WDX dual cab chassis 2650kg bare, 3300kg,fuel,food and camper,
12.6l/100km over 1098 km round trip picking up the camper
the up trip (Wollongong to Coffs harbour) without the camper
return with camper all at around 95km/hr on cruise
the camper made little difference in economy just a bit slower up the hills
