My V6 aveage for the first 58000ks on original rubber was 12.3ltr/100k. Fitted 245/70 ATR's now have done 40000ks on them for an average of 12.8ltr/100ks. Thats being used as my daily driver,City,country and work. Usually cruise just under 110kph.

My ex girl was giving 13L/100km with the arb bar all skids and coopers 245/70r16.
I thought that was not bad. That was on premium 95ron.
I'm not sure what one could do to bring it down much.

We have just returned from 5500km trip towing a Kimberley Camper. Our 2006 CRDauto has just clocked up 10,000km. The first 4500km prior to trip average was 11.7L/100km (best 10.5, worst 13.made of 80% 110km/h freeweay driving. The average for the 5500km trip with the Kimberley was 14.0 L/100km (best 11.7 worst 15.4) - 2500km of this was on corrigated dirt roads + a bit off sand off-roading here and there.
We have a 50mm ARB/OME lift & 235/75 BF Goodrich AT's & a TJM nudge bar fitted.
Overall very impressed with the KJ - not so with the OME kit but I'll comment in the lift thread on that. Cheers. BC

KJ 3.7L Petrol 06 Renegade

These are rough averages.

standard
hwy: 12L/100km
town: 16L/100km

add 2" OME lift & Cooper STT's
hwy: 14
town: 18

add ARB bar & warn 9.5xp winch & IPS lights
hwy: 15 - 16 (sometimes high 14's)
town: 19 - 20

When I've got some quiet non-4WD weekends I'll put the Goodyear road tyres back on and see how they are.
