Never took a pic of the truck at the gas station.

But.......

This was on 246 miles or 393km driven randomly, with no concern for consumption and with gay abandon. After all, it sounds brilliant when you nail it. So basically driven as badly as one could. 57 liters

Anyone want to name and shame and do the calculations?

Just shy of 20 mpg I make it. Not horrific for a low miles toy, painful for a daily !

Calculated by James

And 6.0 km/l

Or 16.4 US mpg

Never bought for the consumption, and being a weekend toy, rather than a daily I am still pleased.

And when driven reasonably sensibly it returns 27mpg with ease.
