Strewth... thats cracking good economy out of a loaded 4.5... as good as or better than many of the diesels

Well done, especially as you crossed the Great Divide twice on the way back so some serious hills involved

I only put normal unleaded 91 in the car on the way back I did 1060 and used in total 175 Lt = 16.5 .. 90 Lt in at Armidale and 85 Lt when I got home to Emu Plains .. and please note I was not towing the CT

you must have extractorsand a 2'' or 3'' pipe to get those figures
