Model D22 2006 (New 3/2007)
Engine ZD30
Manual
Weight Approx 100kg over standard

Last tank full did 623.5km for 65.22L.
Works out at 10.46L/100km. I towed a van for over 100 of these km.

Overall since new the Nav has averaged 11.11166 L/100 km including towing a Jayco van across Qld for 6000 odd km. ( I too keep a spreadsheet on fuel useage)
I am happy with its fuel economy but still looking for improvements.

Model D22 2006 (new 3/2007)
Zd30
Manual
Weight 100-150 over standard
31x10.5 tyres i average 650ks for 65L
35x13.5 tyres i average 600ks for 65L (doesnt take into account the 10% my speedo is out due to the bigger tyres)
Both sets of tyres are aggressive muddies and this was pre 3" exhaust. I havent used either set for a solid full tank yet but economy is looking slightly better overall.

Dave,

to be honest I haven't had a trip long enough to run it empty without the car trailer on! Most of my running around is in town and the Diesel would have gone off by the time I used a tankfull. But towing I've managed to get from Townsville back home (8 hours travel time, 736km) with a bit under 1/4 left on the gauge, so I'm guessing on the highway I should get near enough 1200km.

Cheers.

Cheers for the figures Tanz. Glad your happy with the tank.

Dave.

Model: 2008 D22 STR
Engine: YD25 2.5L diesel
Gearbox: Manual 5 speed
Weight: standard plus bullbar, towbar, would guess around the 2000kg mark

Only had the Nav for a few weeks, was an ex demo with 2000km on the clock. First tank around town was 12.5L/100km, second tank was just under 10L/100km including a 400km country highway trip, about to fill up for the third time! Should get a bit better with another couple of 1000k on the meter.

There have been several references to spreadsheets being used to record fuel consumption.
Would some body care to post/share what they use ?

I filled up on Monday and reset the trip meter. I put 60.55 litres today at 625 kays.

That works out to 9.69 litres per 100k.

I recon the snorkel that I fitted recently has helped a bit, and maybe the modification I made to the cyclone pre filter.

I think that figure is fairly good considering my tyre size and the fact I had approx 350 kilos in the back all week (big job) as well as two fiberglass ladders and conduit on the roof racks.

My Navara, Series 2 D22 05.
Consistently gets up to 650km, around town or on highway...generally rev to 3k and cruise on highway at 100-110kmh
Got 530km once, driving fully loaded into a 50knot easterly the whole way!

Here's a stripped back version of the spreadsheet i've been using guys.

I've gone to the extent of graphing yearly usage and consumption also. These graphs don't look much chop without data so after a dozen trips to the bowser have a play with them.

Any problems using this give me a hoy and I'll try help out.

From previous post

3500 kms over 4 weeks.

Worst towing 2600kg 23ft Van 21.3 l/100km (windy)
Best towing, 19.3 l/100km
Best touring no van, over 160km 8.5 l/100km. Normal city short runs 13 l/100km.

Comfortable with plenty of power, no magic fuel economy, happy overall as van is really big, like towing parachute.
