    Okey dokey, small update.

    Did the first reasonable size trip over the weekend since getting Tank back. Did 407 klms made up as follows:

    1. About 40 klms of reasonably hard pedal driving testing it out when I got it back and filled it to the brim
    2. 50 klms of what I'd say is average around town/cruising driving to get Timbo from the airport (suburbia, bit of 80 kph, bit of 100 kph, etc)
    3. About 200 klms of highway driving
    4. About 117 klms with tyres at 20 psi on sand in 2 and 4wd

    Returned a consumption figure of ... wait for it ...

    17.76 litres per hundred!!!!

    I'm dead set stoked with that!!!! The best I ever got pre-turbo was the trip up to Rockhampton with Dhuck to pick up Kelvins trailer (the trip up only without the trailer - about 650 klms) - that was 15.25 litres per hundred and essentially nothing but highway driving.

    I'm thinking if I drive reasonably normally, I'm looking at an around town figure of mid to late teens, and a highway consumption figure probably closer to 13 litres per hundred. That's on a near 3 tonne rig, and from an engine punching out close to 200 horsies and 514nm at the rear wheels!!!! And it holds speed heaps better now also (not up and down at the slightest hint of a slope like it was before).

    Happy is an understatement.
