| Depends on usage, but i'm probably getting late twentys to 30mpg. Cross section of motorway and suburban. Do notice that if you tow it on the motorway then consumption drops. You'll be lucky to see 500km out a tank, i average just over 450, so just over 300 mile...
don;t be fooled when you've done 100km on one bar of the gauge, it drops like a stone from halfway... |

| Last tank was 460ks Before fuel light came on so that's about 60L maybe? Not sure havn't filled up yet. That's pretty good for mine but I filled up at Jyndabine and my cousin says they run a higher octane Deisel down there than home??? (Wollongong). Don't know why? It's either got to do with the colder weather/Snow or the yuppies only want the best for their Lexus/BMW/Cherokee's etc.  |

I've noticed that too, as a matter of fact, Yesterday my tank gauge went from Full, to 1/2, to 3/4, to full, to 3/4 all in about 30 km
Here I was congratulating myself on buying a vehicle with a self-filling tank 
I think the most I've got was approx 450km on a tank, but I was driving from Warrnambool to Mildura via the Grampians, so the hill climbs would have affected consumption |
