2800kms around Tassie, a rough mix of 20% freeway, 40% main/windy/coastal roads, 20% main dirt roads, 20% beach or low range 4wd tracks. Fully loaded rb30 patrol wagon on 35's with 4.3's, average 19.3L per 100kms for the trip. Pretty happy with that considering I'm generally putting the boot in and she was fully loaded!

@threedogs should start another thread just for dual fuel Patrols stating tank size and range
and what type of gas system is fitted,
Have you started it yet.
Or could have a standard format.
Mode: 1997 GU
Fuel: dual injected
Tank: 110 litres max fill 100
Range: about 21/100 400-450 kms week in week out.
That's my figures.
12/97 GEE YOU
4.5lt Gas blower. Lots of mods to come.....all in good time.

For those that are interested I've kept a record over the last 4 weeks. This is what I'm getting.
23.96L/100 km. That's normal driving, but mostly on the freeway.

Wil be getn new rig as of nxt week.. 04 gu patrol.. 3 td wagon.. was told can do over 1000ks towing a 3t trailer to both main and sub tanks.. dnt knw the size of tanks so i cnt do the math of Ltrs per 100... anyone knw hw many ltrs main tank n sub tank are...
Factory tanks are 95 litres main and 30 litres sub for a total of 125.Originally Posted by mullet_hunter
If you average 12 LPH you will have 5 litres left in the main after 1000 K's
If you get 12 LPH pulling 3 tonnes then your odometer is probably out by about 50%
Maybe half the ZD30's will average around 15 LPH with that load on flat road no headwind and low trailer drag IE if it is a 3 ton van then no way.
Many will use 18 or so.
My bet is you will get about 650 K's before the low fuel light (in good conditions) maybe 750 in grey nomad mode.
Obviously you will get further if you have a long range main (145 to 160 litres) and/or long range sub (70 to 75 litres)

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

@ Mullett expect to get aroung 14-15ltr per 100 k with 285s/33s tyres towing a small camper, better if shod with 265s tyres
and about 12 around town with the the same size tyres285s/33s
