Have just ticked over 3000km towing the boat from Taupo to the bottom of the west coast and back up, exploring all sorts of 4wd tracks to get the boat into the water and out again. Crunched the numbers and the 530,000km GU Patrol is returning 12.9L/100km. Whats not to like?

And the beauty of all that is, when it finally shits itself, you can leave it where it is
