I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
On Gas you should average 20 Litres per 100 K's so for round Trip of say 2200 K's (allowing for Trips) Fuel Costs should be approx $290 . Not bad for 4.5 Litre vehicle. Would hate to do it on Petrol though
Besides the fuel tank is too small. I've 12 months to rectify that ! bigger gas and petrol tanks. And depends on what I tow. Big caravan or little one.

Yes Michael, I bought a JEE.....60.
If you're carrying weight and doing diet roads, I hate to be pragmatic, but there isn't a 6 or 8 cylinder out there that's going to get 20 lph on gas ... sorry boys and girls. Work on 24-26 and that could still be conservative.
Still better than on petrol as Bob states - and come to think of it, that's going to be my dilemma ... and for nearly triple that distance (just shy of 6000 klms for the trip we are looking at).
What's a diet road ? I got 20L per 100km towing over a tonne of a rust bucket, coupla weeks ago..
For any one needing to know Victorian school holidays are

Diet roads are good, you use less fuel on them. WARNING over use of Diet roads may lead to vehicles running lean which could manifest itself as fuel starvation.
