the truck:
1990 HDJ81, stock except SS 3" exhaust. 31" Revo AS tires automatic.
130,000 km
the test was from Calgary to "road to the sun" Montana and back through Ferni BC.
the first leg was from Calgary to Pincher Creek 236 km using 25.1 L of fuel for a total of 26.56 imp mpg or 10.64l/100. this was fairly flat at 110 km/hr steady no head wind.
the second leg of the trip was Pncher Creek to Glacier Montana. 241 km using 7 US gallons (24.5 l) for a total 27.79 imp mpg or 10.17L/100. this was steep hills 90% at 60 km/hr trough the park. (it is a beautiful drive and well worth the trip down. plan on 2 days in the park.)
the third leg of the test was from Glacier to Ferni B.C. 232 KM using 25.6 L for a total of 25.6 imp mpg or 11L/100. this was a couple steep hills but steady at 110 km/hr
the final leg was from Ferni back to Calgary. 296 km using 33 l of fuel for a total of 25.3 imp mpg or 11.15L/100. this was a couple steep hills at 120 km/hr with bursts up to 130-150 km/hr.
all in all i was very surprised at the fuel milage. i was guesstimating at about 25 with the last ank at 18. almost 28 mpg is phenomenal in such a heavy truck.
cheers
