I used 3/4 of the main tank in a empty GU Ute comming back from Tamworth to Canberra about 3 weeks ago .... 3/4=70ish L I guess for 697kms.
It was really pi55ing down hard all the way so I had to sit on 90km/h as that was all the traffic was doing and I didnt feel like pushing any harder anyway.

Put mine on the weighbridge last sunday, 2223kg.
Its a DX coilcab + genuine nissan bar with brush guards and a towbar, stock everything else.
I didnt have the tray sides on.
The tray is a alloy bed. 2 ropeboxes, steel frame and head board.
So its not that much lighter than a wagon is it ??
yes possable i get around 14l/100 on a trip with pump mods and running 17-20psi boost even towing camper trailer only drops to15l/100 my ST coil cab weighs 2900 empty, steel tray,ARB bar and steps winch,240l tanks,twin batteries

I would be pretty dissapointed if i owend a Diesel Patrol and wasnt getting those figures....My Defender returns about 10.5-11 per 100 on swampers/on standard tyres i can get down to 9lts/100 on the highway(as long as the wind is blowing the right way )
if i can get 10.7/100 in my 81 diesel MQ, then getting 12.5/100 in a 02 gu should be no hassle at all... its a diesel, its turbo'd, its doing a long trip. it has all it needs for half decent fuel fugures

I average about 12, with a best of 11 and worst of 13 in all situations, city driving, highway,towing and wheeling in a 75 ute with 280K on the clock however I rarely go over 100km/h.
