That's awesome!
My 2010 KB300 D-Teq with 230 000km on the clock & only 5 gears, gets over 10km/l driven by a contractor who is always in a hurry, in Jo'burg, at altitude & it occasionally carries loads between 500kg & 1200kg...
Manny, I'll put my cock on a block and bet by the time my Ford goes in for its first service, it will average 11+ km/l combined cycle. As for your invincible Isuzu, its most probably not a 4x4, rarely goes over 100kph with the tyres inflated to 3bar (to compensate for the 500-1200kg load).

Chas hasn't posted yet, I think he is still confused and dealing with a lot of conflicting emotions after seeing the defender of the animal kingdom.

Just ride the bloody thing and let the consumption be what it is....

There is a lot of anal analysis going on in this thread. Jeez, you okes are pathetic.
As Shane says, it’s just a bloody car, drive it and then Chuck it when you buy something else.
It’s not like you’re married to the damn thing

@ Shane - you are probably right.
@ Kurt - I'm an ambulance chaser, not a sheik.
@Manny - How many batata deliveries did your dinosaur zoos make yesterday and at what consumption?

We drove the mighty Touran to Wales today. We drove about 300km and the economy was 4.6L/100km. Not one speed hump.KurtG wrote:There is a lot of anal analysis going on in this thread. Jeez, you okes are pathetic.

I also tend to nurse a vehicle when it's new - just to check best possible consumption.Ricoffy wrote:@ Shane - you are probably right.

But in reality I don't drive like that so the excercise is actually futile.
Focus on enjoying it. It's a nice vehicle.
