Never calculated fuel consumption unladen.

With the camper on I have averaged 30mpg a few times in the past over a very long and steady run (probably averaging 56-58 mph).

However, I'm currently struggling to get better than 27mpg.

The BFG AT/KOs have around 30k miles on them now, so maybe the loss of diameter is making a difference. There is also a slight squeek which could be a UJ sticking, which will affect consumption.

Notice you don't mention the camping compendium you insist on carrying around with you, that must factor in their in a negative way surely

:lol:

Ironically I managed 30 mpg on my way to a friend's house in Germany in 2011 carrying 2 spare wheels, sand ladders, a jerry can of diesel and a full water tank, plus the assortment of un-aero-dynamic metalwork that makes up my roof rails and solar panel array.

I blame tyre wear :mrgreen:

Just clocked 7000 miles, filled her up and reset the trip. I then drove home from W-s-M to Devon, approximately 75 miles with 55 of those being motorway, bimbling along at 60mph on the motorway and, just as I was approaching the Exeter turn off, my trip clocked 39mpg average consumption. Looks to be bedding in nicely. :D

Went mountain biking at Haldon a few weeks ago and was chatting to a chap that had a Ranger Wildtrak. He was only getting low 20's on a good day. :o

Which of these are either manual/auto though, there should be a difference in consumption for those too of course
