Yeah, I always go on the average too, not the fluctuations. When the little fluctuations bar reads a few lph over normal, it's usually the soot cooker doing a burn.

Then again my awning mounted on the roof rails will humm if the wind is blowing from a certain direction and I'm going like the blazes, radio up a notch or hearing aids down a couple.....
You blokes want to learn how to drive, only time I get low 9's or even into the 8's is when I fill with quality fuel and cruise down the freeway to Brisvegas, so not very often ... I do find if I fill up at the local joint or the cheapy at Maryborough, the burn rate is more than if I pay that bit more for some BP or proper Caltex/Ampol ( not Woollies) not much choice here its take or run out.....
What did I do to my Jeep, well I rolled around checking things and found a slight leak from my tranny pan which will mean removing the mongrel bash plate to tension things up, bugga. Knew I should have double checked after the test drive but I stunk of oil and chucked the plate on before I remembered I hadn't done my final nut check............Getting close to using a tranny shop, so over spanners.........

Looks like 2 top spots fellas, very jealous!
Meant to be going up to Morgan Quarry for the weekend soon with the local Jeep mob, just found out its on the same weekend as the Mrs Birthday 🤔 I dare not suggest we go out the week before.
The next trip, Robe to Beachport I'm keen for, however the rig goes in for hail repair on the Monday, they said they need it a week, hmm, if I get it back before the Friday I'm golden, if not..........a boring long weekend at home 😭

I've added a 15lt console fridge for the wife. She uses it for her work car now so it keeps her drinks and lunch cool between jobs.
