65 l/100km... Holy shit, a Bugatti Veyron running at top speed over 400km/h is consuming 122 l/100km.
That's insane
Yup. Terrain is much different to a road, speed is slow, revs are high. The engine has to do a lot more work over much less distance.
A decent mileage to cross the Simpson Desert is around 20-25l/100km for vehicles that do around 10-12 on road. And that's mostly still using established tracks where speed stays up fairly well and revs stay moderately low overall.
I don't know what you're driving but even driving in the Himalayas at 12000ft would give you more range per 100L than that
Who the fuck does that? Your example is bullshit.
You're in a thread about an offroad capable vehicle, where people might share their experiences with offroading. They're sharing their experiences because it's relevant, not because most people go offroading.
Sounds like they have a loaded up landcruiser or similar, and maybe are towing?
I have a loaded up (and I mean fully loaded) Nissan, towing, and i get about 400km to every 60ltrs. Not good.
