Fuel Economy

Ugh, what a boring topic. I thought I would just post my findings and be done with it.

Manufacturers claim is 13L/100KM. I suspected it would be more like 15L/100KM with wider tyres, additional weight, full of fuel and a trip down and up the Clyde mountain.

It took 40L to do 300KM or 13.3L/100KM

BUT

The more exciting thing is that it does 300KM to half a tank. Which is a super easy number to work with when it comes to estimating our range. 300KM per half tank means 1200KM total range.

With fuel in some of the countries we are going to, you need to prepay for fuel, so been able to estimate how much fuel we need in each tank will save us from expensive messy mistakes.
