Costs.
Don't travel at high speed. 80km/h is good for fuel consumption and tyre life and chain life.
Buy things in major population centers for preference.
Wild camp when possible - no camp fees! One in three nights in a camp ground for showers? Some places will let you have a shower for a fee .. much cheaper than the camping fee.
Once on the Oddnadatta track or Sturt Highway free camping is normal .. just camp out of sight of towns .. and I like to get out of sight of the road too.
Buy free tyres and replace your chain and sprockets in Darwin ... probably a good place with services for some distance.
At this time of year Flinders and Oddnadatta track will be good. Cold at night though.
