Wind behind over the Nullarbor I got 25 mpg . It PAYS to stop overnight if heading into wind !! Yes 16 mpg with 6.5 ton motorhome at 85 to 100kph . Depending on terrain . Obviously hills changes things !!
Generally I average 14.5l/100k towing, that equates to approximatly a 400k range from a 63l fuel tank, basically it mean if I tried to get 400k from a tank in good conditions I would only have 5l left in the tank thats not a very good safety margin, so I added a 55l drop in tank into the tub of the ute, it gravity feeds in to the main tank via the tank breather. So that extenda the range to about 800k towing.
Hi all; We have a 95 pajero with the 2.8 ltr diesel and have had a long range fuel tank fitted to replace the 95 ltr factory fitted tank. Now have a total of 150 ltr of fuel.
The longest we have done is Norseman to Penong including some small side trips, about 1200km. 70L plus 50L petrol on the roof. We would have made it to Ceduna. Not towing.
Filled up in Esperance as it is cheaper, topped up at Norseman. We usually use 98 as the extra cost is recovered in the additional milage.
