Further to this thread, here are some actual figures for fuel consumption I obtained over the last 3 weeks:

City driving (not stop-start): 10.8 km/l (over 182. kms)

Country driving (90 – 100 kph) : 11.24 km/l (over 165 kms)

Engine: 2.9 L diesel, naturally aspirated. No external racks fitted.

Someone posted some pics of their setup of a new Hyundai I-load. I've searched and cant find the pics.

Could the owner/author please PM me as I would like to see the setup again and pick his brain about the van - considering one.

Cheers,
EB

Cheers Easty,

...and party big! Yeah nice surf at times at Bastion. I only windsurfed the lakes and down near the entrance, sailed the Hobie16 from Bastion though, could sail to Gabo by playing in the surf all along the coast.
