I wonder how expensive is diesel in Australia?

Here in Costa Rica 1 Liter of Diesel cost US$ 1.31

Depending where you are in Australia be prepared to paid anything from $1.75 to $2.00 a litre. and I wouldn't be surprised if it was over $2.00 in remote areas

On my fuel consumption figures, would be about 1000km around town and 1500km highway with the 4.0 V6 5sp auto.

I don't let the tank get too low, cost me $270 last time I put 170L in.

$2.20 mid-August at Marree, at the end of the Birdsville track. I didn't fill up (I buy ULP), I just took note. The ULP cost me $2.05 /litre

Re: kms per tankfull

We flew to Melbourne earlier this year to check out a 2003 GXL TD auto. Looked a dream so we bought it then and there (mind you we were looking around QLD and NSW for a good 2-3 months for a reasonable 120). After we filled up to the brim just outside Cragieburn... god knows where we were... we set off, and 2 days later we were in Brisbane still on the same tank. filled up to the 90ltr mark again for the brisbane - sunny coast leg. Don't know exact usage but covered about 1800k's and i rekon there was about a qtr left in the reserve tank in brisbane. Imagine my delight after driving around a V6 petrol rodeo guzzler for 2 years - 450km per tank! Anyways, loving the Prado!

Re: kms per tankfull

Hmmmm! Some interesting stats there.
The oil burners seem to go pretty well,Great range for touring. Well I have a 98 mod 3.4 v6 with a UniChip ,also have a roof top tent on it, but as well, a good custom built air foil, pluss 32" bfg mudy's and all the usual touring gear.A couple of weeks ago we went out for a run,and I got 800K's for 100ltr's of petrol,thats 13ltr's to 100,I was pretty happy with that considering that there was a couple of hours of dirt driving, in mostly 3rd gear.
That would give me a 1200 K range,runing it dry that is.

Re: kms per tankfull

I get 1000 around town, but never much more than 1300 highway, I normally put in between 150- 160 litres. Most of my highway travels I am fully loaded.

Re: kms per tankfull

If the headwinds across Barkly are kind, I can get from Katherine to Mt Isa before a refuel, then all the way to Brisbane (just). Not bad considering the lift and MT tyres No doubt the Diesel Power additive and the 6th cog have a bit to do with that. These are winter trips also. Drops when the heat gets higher of course.

Re: kms per tankfull

I've had both a 90 and 120 series Prado. Prefer the 120, but I reckon the 90 was better on fuel.

The 90 was a 3 lt TD and would get around 1150-1200 on approx 130-135 litres.

The 120 is a 3 lt TD and gets around 1350-1400 on approx 165 litres. Range drops by about 150 km when towing the Outback Swan.

Both Prados had 4 speed autos and the same 1KZ engine. The difference, the 90 series was at least 400 kg lighter. :shock:
