thats why then. mines all city driving. iam off to the east coast tomorrow for the week with the caravan on the back i will let you know what i get to a full tank which took 56ltrs to fill it up from the light coming on

I get 17.5 mpg with a 1350kg caravan on tow, Just keep a close eye on the temp gauge if climbing any hills.

hi paul. what are you getting solo

[Predictable Bob]

I got 21mpg fully loaded, towing a 1300kg caravan in France last year - speed generally around 60-65mph.

Solo on a run we can get 30mpg BUT pottering about town it's a hell of a lot less !

I've found that a dose of Redex in every tankfull helps a lot - never bothered to take any measurements though cos we don't use it much at the moment and the driving is VERY mixed ......

hi paul. what are you getting solo

Never really check it solo, whenever I'm on a run I tend to have the van on the back thats the only time I fill it up and can do a check but a rough estimate would be around 25.

Hi
On average I do about 6.5km/L around town (I think my injectors are buggered) but I get around 9km/L on long runs. Can anyone convert this to MPG for me?

[BUSHWHACKER]

I work it out as 17.55 mpg around town, and 24.3 on a run.

[bundubasher]

Hey! Many thanks for working that out for me! You're up bright and early!

It's not as bad as I thought so thanks for setting my mind to rest.

Hi Enzo,

Roughly you are doing 18 1/2 around town, and 25 1/2 on the long runs, which doesn't sound that bad.

Not too bad considering all the $$$$ that I've got bolted to my truck! Problem is we're travelling back to Zim for Xmas and tents, fuel, water, 2 x spare wheels etc will bring the GVM back up to 3 tonnes and the MPG way down!
