Well over the weekend I drove the Behemoth to the gold coast and back, 1000km round trip. Comp showed avg 16l/100km. Take off 10% for my speedo being out and that's a respectable 14.5l/100km!
That's alright for 33" muddies, big lift, bar, 5 adults, luggage, loaded roofrack. I'll put most of it down to nice smooth roads around the goldie, it jumped up 1l/100km on the goat tracks that pass for highways around bundy.
She did well (sans aircon) and only seems to have suffered a leaky left rear axle seal (or brake cylinder) will know once I pull apart tomorrow.
Shame she's back to pulling my massive box trailer round country roads and giving me 22l/100km which makes me not like her so much sometimes...
I think it's time for a wheel though to scare the pants of my visiting family!
