Excellent Gil,
All too ofton the hire company will try to fill in a few extra liters.
This is so they can drive it for 100km, using it almost as a run ' bout, before the needle moves, thus cheating the hirer' out of fuel.
They are wide, there is no mistake, and off road is where they shine, or on long strait tarmac roads.
I would imagine the smaller petrol engine to be more thirsty than the bigger diesel.
Little engine always working it's butt off to keep a heave body rolling.
So all said and done, we are still, overall, better with the Land Cruisers?
20 liters per 100km, THAT IS HEAVY !
My LC will easily do 10 liters per 100km, so 20 l / 100km will be an overland killer, esp. with just a small 70 liter tank.
Well, youv'e been there, done that, got the teeshirt and the invoice.
Good on ye!
Graham
