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,

Was down your old stompin ground watching the ab boats trying to get onto the ramp at Bastion Point. Them boys got big balls in big boats in big swells.

...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.
