Thread: Petrol v diesel economy

Put all that weight into a 5 Tonne Unimog with a 5.9L turbo intercooled donk and find it returning 25-30L/100km

A mate has the 4 door v8 landcruiser towing his horse float around the south island with two Clydesdales in the back.
Fully loaded ute and getting 18l per hundy.
That was the average for the whole trip .
