From Port Mac via Mt Gambier to Portland Zero litres used
Marks 4x4 5th over drive installed today, pick the truck up tomorrow, expect i will go from 200l/100klm to 180l/100klm, as long as i am rolling with a tail wind.
Yeah haven't scientifically compared mine pre and post 5th gear upgrade but sooo much better on the highway one of the best things I've done lol. .

So I thought I would record my usage as I’ve never really done it.
This was fully loaded, 4 people, towing the Off-road Swan up and over from Omeo to Bright, the car absolutely copping a flogging. 19.6ltrs per hundy...
This is Y62 territory. @Winnie ; we need an upgrade!!

In younger ‘illegal ignorance sillier’ days once almost ‘halved’ a GU TD42T DX utes vinyl floor model own work fuel consumption by hauling 4.5T ATM/GTM on a float trailer to Mildura from the Yarra Valley.
4th gear...peddle full to the rubber mat for 6hrs (one desperately needed fuel stop IIRC) ....poor old thing couldn’t get above 70-75kmph into the prevailing NW winds.
Somewhat soon after was kindly future educated about EGT gauges, crikey the tough old girl in hindsight must’ve ran at 700C+ ++ Exhaust Gas Temperatures for 1/4 of an Aussie hot headwind day
I swear it ran faster off tow and carbon free once we unloaded and completed the job......don’t try this method though
EDIT: “Doubled”

I got 17.5 for the same kind of driving but didn't tow as far as you.
Would absolutely love a Y62 but could not part with the GQ.

I reckon what we’ve done in the last week of t was in a 62, the memories of the GQ would be forgotten.

You definitely need and genuinely hard working deserve a Y62 ASAP Mudski Mate.....just do it Brother
She aint going to fit up Barkley River Jeepy Wanky track but hey, that’s why I’m going back to a Y60 skinny weekender warrior instead of a Y61 fatter variant that never fits without $$damage
Horses for Courses and I’m too dreaming one day of a Y62 Harroped UP and or a nicely done LS Y61 for retirement Beach/Sea Change weaponary if we can make it that far Brother
