Just returned to Geelong after a quick trip to the Gold Coast. Average fuel economy there and back was 11lt/100km. 2013 3.2 Ranger manual towing a fully loaded Swan. How do these figures compare with what others get? We sat on 112-115 most of the way.

Good figures for towing!
I'd be happy with that in the BT-50 if I'm pulling the boat somewhere!

X2. I'd be happy with that

Similar to what we get with the Navara towing our Swan. It's just been sold and waiting for the arrival of a c c c caravan, will be interesting to see what it's like then.

Sounds good to me ;D :cheers:

Modern diesels are extremely economical. I normally get about 16 in the 80 series without towing!

I am in the mid 14's on my 1HDT auto without towing. Mind you it's only around the 17's- 18's when towing the Modcon camper.

I am around 13 towing the Goldstream with the Dmax
I did get it down to 12 towing a mates box trailer camper
I think the goldstream makes it use a bit more fuel as it is heavy and is also wider than the car so there is a bit of wind drag going on

2012 bt50 pulling a camper trailer - 8.3L per 100klms...

Between 13 to 15 in the 2004 diesel paj.
Depends how you drive.

That's embarrassing, only 11/100. ;D
Lol, I'm getting low 20's without towing around town but I'm happy to trade fuel cards with ya. :cheers:

Don't give a flying Rat's Ar$e, just fill'em when their empty and start all over again.

That's gold. :cup:
Mazda are bragging that it chews just over 9 litres without towing.

My 80 1HTD 31x10.5x15 standard height, roof racks & basket packed, fully loaded with 60lt fridge in the back and towing a very heavy old Swan I can avg 17l/100k. traveling at 95kph, in fourth gear
Running around town and going to work she uses about 9l/100k.
I do run 42psi cold in the tyres, tyre pressure can have a big effect on economy as well as ride comfort. I don't mind having a harder rider.
Of cause if I act like a Richard Cranium and race everything, the old girl can drink a fair bit more ;D
-
If the tide's in, I'm around the 30 to the 100. Not bad for a Hilux ;D

How did you come up with this figure ???

Downhill with strong tail wind?
I don't believe this figure is accurate. Just saying.
-
Here in NZ, petrol $2.21 and diesel $1.47?????????
Hence us hiring a brand new Captiva which only had 5kms on clock. Averaged under 8kms per 100 for our 2 weeks here for over 2000kms driving.

sorry mate, i guess i'm stupid...that's what the car tells me is the average consumption.
-
I got 5.6 l/100 with my esky and swag in the back ..
I was in a Getz ...
Does that still count ;D :D :D
Next week I will take the push bike and beat you all .... :D :D
Jet ;D ;D :D :D

i'm assuming the esky was full at the start and empty at the end, so your economy might have been a bit better going home... :)
-
Yep it's official.....
Just took the 200 series and Trackabout for a fuel consumption test run.
Scan guage hit 7.2 litres per 100 for 3 seconds of the 25k trip.
So according to my calculations I'm getting 7.2L per 100 at 160 kph.
I reckon if I pump up the tyres to 145 psi and drop back to 150 kph I should be able to hit the 6l per 100 club.
;D :cheers:

I guess it depends on whether you go of the cars trip computer telling you an estimated L/100km or go by actual figures after you fill up, empty, then fill again.

i just go off my ute's trip computer telling me the average consumption. i don't see why that's such a bad thing.
but then i get mocked for having the hide to post such a supposedly absurd number...
i guess that's what happens in forums sometimes...

I wasn't having a go at you personally mate. Sorry if it sounded that way. Its just that the trip computers do throw out some interesting numbers sometimes.

I like swannies post.

Likewise Paceman, I wasn't having a personal dig, but the trip meters in many cars are not particularly accurate.
The only way to accurately calculate fuel economy is to fill up, drive til tank is near empty and refill. Work out how many Kim's are travelled & how much fuel was used.
The more distance you travel, the more accurate the calculation.

I just completed a 3000km trip. The last tank is the only one I calculated and is 10.5L/100kms. This was all cold weather. Around 10 deg C average I'm guessing. Therefore minimal air con use but lots of hills.
On a hot trip unfortunately averaging about 40 deg C I got around 12.5. Probably <200kg heavier that trip.
The hot trip I got a 14.5 when I wasn't paying any attention to keeping the torque coverter locked.
Makes a noticeable difference to your range.
