Just returned from a pretty miserable 5 day trip, I spent more time sitting on my arse than off roading, anyway thats another story.
I just want to post up some accurate weight and fuel figures. In general I get an average of about 28 MPG (Imperial). This is with the normal run of the mill load and usage. Last Friday I loaded up for the full monty trip (which was pretty much a flop), and my 80's all up weight was 2,840kg, I also used the trip to work out my fuel figures.
Around 100 miles @ steady 60 MPH to the venue, another 100 miles running around town and a couple of gnarly stop/start trails totaling about 50 miles, engine rarely switched off but AC on whenever engine was running. Then 140 miles @ 70 MPH back home and then some local running around in town, a good mix totaling 415 miles.
The result is a tad over 24 MPG, not bad at all IMO.
FWIW weight distribution was 1,500kg over rear axle, and 1,340kg over front.
I will post up PWM fan info later.
Regards
Dave
