Sounds like a bit of an absolute statement to me.
Too many variables in this whole thread to be of much use.Fuel usage is dependant on vehicle type, tyre width, type of tyres, tyre pressure, tyre size, diff ratio, driving style, vehicle load, type of road, .
Thats all I was getting at.Same vehicle but different driver can often make a huge difference in fuel usage.

Hey, not criticising your thread mate; we all like discussing the quantity of fossil fuel us petrol (or diesel) heads chew through. Just pointing out that calling a very well respected long term poster like UJ an idiot for correcting your ambiguous original post speaks volumes. (He was racing cars when you were in nappies).

As a matter of fact, yes.I spent 6 months in Sierra Leone.But then, the reason we had to use low range was because the roads were terrible, which also meant we seldom used any of the long gears.Fuel economy wasn't great to say the least.

Interesting 6 months but I wouldn't want to go back.Man, can it rain in the rainy season.Vehicle economy wasn't one of the things we were too worried about.More worried about getting back in one piece.
