Hi,
any guesses on how much mileage I will get?
planning on doing a run through the Tanami again, and testing out the 'New' DA Maverick (rebadged GQ).
She will be carrying a bit of weight and have a loaded up roof, but won't be towing anything.
She runs on diesel, and don't have no turbo thingy
Thanks
If she running well you should get around the 12-13/100 mark
tis running well, it was a lucky buy.
thanks
I regularly see about 13.5 L/100km but I also run muddies 24/7. This is also up and down hills all the time. If I was on a flat road I would expect about 12L/100km.
I had down at 11 was my best so far. I am light footed though.
im on pet gas and getting around 26-30 /100 but also im towing a trailer 24/7 definately NOT economical
I had a diesel Mav ute, its was better round town on fuel and my best was about 10l/100km, highway was about 11-12l/100km, i think it was revving a little high for a diesel at 100km/h but was great on fuel, didn't seem to make much difference if it had a moderate load or not. interesting to see how my 'new' diesel wagon goes with 4" lift and 33" muds.
Just got back from Loveday in SA towing a 1 ton camper and got 16l/100km so was pretty happy with that towing a ton and car fully loaded with head wind too.
Youll get better economy with a small trailer on the rear than loading that roof upQuote:

Driving style, hills, weight, wind resisdance will all effect economy
mine y60 2.8 normally 11-12 l/100km but ready for expedition fully loaded and with full roof 18-19 l/100km
I get around 15/100 when on gas 12/100 on petrol unloaded 17/100 on gas 15/100 on petrol when towing my camper trailer ( with cruise control )
I get 14 per 100 on petrol and 20 per 100 on LPG. Carby no EFI.
shhhhh nobody tell the missus mine is a duel feul though.
If i could get my EFI TB42 down that low , i wouldnt be to keen to sell itQuote:

Id be keen to find out how you do it
If you want economy dnt buy a petrol/gas 4.2
Guys posting these economy figures with ur pet/gas, are they 4.2's and what sort of tyres are you running coz i'm getting no where even close to some of your figures. I am running 35inch muddies.
The old dogs running cooper A/T3's 31/10.5 R15. Pertronix Ignitor 2 electronic distributer with flame thrower 2 coil, and shes got a 2" lift. Oh and most importantly my kids tell me I drive like an old man.
very light foot in my case, very rare does the old girl go above 2k rpm, i drive like an old man cause I am one lol
Mine has a 140L tank, 4.2LD does about 1300-1400ks to the tank so 10-12 if I drive normally.
I get just over 700km out of about 75 -80 ltrs of deisel depending and towing my 1 tonne trailer. I run 31 inch desert duellers and drive like a pop. No more than 95 on the highway.
