Fully equipped I'd reckon on getting no more than 12-13mpg, so that's a safe useful range of something like 200 miles to a tank. With teh roofrack on my car I get iro 14mpg on a run, so bank on it being less than that. Other than that, perfect vehicle for the job :cool: BV55 YZE, Fleet No 19 - Thailand 2006 Now registered as YZE 481 in Melbourne, Oztralia.
