    I got 8.8l/100km actual on my trip down to Jindabyne. 3 adults, 2 kids, snow boards, XC skis and all associated junk! Its exactly half what I used in my 100seriesLlandcruiser the year before. Happy with that!

    Someone mentioned LPG. Ive converted my holden rodeo diesel to a diesel/LPG mix, very much improved performance and slightly better economy as well. Who's done this on their VW diesel?

    On my recent trip to north QLD my T5 96kw 6sp AUTO Kombi Beach got 7L/100km with a tail wind. It did 1000km and the reserve light had not come on, and took 70L when I filled it.

    Typically it gets 8L/100km on average. Needless to say I am extremely pleased with it.

    It's something I was interested in doing, until I found out that the govt rebate for lpg only applied to private vehicles.
