Chris, Tinus's 4.8 is busy taking him to the Kalahari. I think he will be away for about a week.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

Based upon my experiences with my previous vehicle, I suspect (but am not 100% sure) that MT's increase fuel consumption. Certainly I found that my consumption went up but it could aso have been other factors/changes that I made.

Re: Interesting comparison: Amarok vs Patrol ownership
Tinus,
I sure hope you meant Km/L otherwise we will arrange for an petrol tanker to go get you.
I also assume you meant 140Km/h average speed. Was this GPS speed?
That is outstanding figures.
What more would you want from a monster of a car.
Don't even service it. Maybe something gets bumped or touched that could effect the consumption negatively.
Enjoy the trip and remember some action pictures of NAM.

The 140km/hr average : is this on highway only or is this an average through out a trip ?

Re: Interesting comparison: Amarok vs Patrol ownership
Knowing Tinus, that's not really an average, but the speed he sets the cruise control to. IE he will go faster to overtake, and slower when necessary.
That is GPS speed.

Re: Interesting comparison: Amarok vs Patrol ownership
Piet is reg ....ek het 140 gps spoed gery op die cruise control en die odometer is 10% onder teenoor die gps se afstand maw ek ry 110km ver dan wys my odo 100km . Van centorion tot in vryburg het ek 5.7 km per liter gekry . Van vryburg tot in die kalahari 150km verby toska en weer terug by vryburg 5.5 en weer tot by die huis 5.7 die grond pad was baie sleg en het baie lae spoed gery weens koedoes yster varke ens ek het agter gekom die 4.8 se verbruik is swaar as mens stop ry stop ry .die ratkas gear af en begin dan weer . Ek is baie gelukkig met die nuwe 4.8 kon net nog nie kry waar die turbo sit nie........Peter Connan wrote:Knowing Tinus, that's not really an average, but the speed he sets the cruise control to.

Re: Interesting comparison: Amarok vs Patrol ownership
Hallo, Ek het nie die laaste twee bladsye gelees van die posts nie, hier is my 2 cent.
n Amarok is n puik ryding. Amarok moet nog sy sterkheid wys. Patrols se breakdown stats is maar min.
Amarok kannie loop weaar n Patrol loop nie. Nie oor hy n VW is en n Patrol n Nissan is nie. Hy is te laag.
Indien hy gebruik word op minder slegte paaie of geen "offroad nie", is dit egter die voertuig om te ry. Hy is lig op brandstof en ry gemaklik en het gatgets in wat Patrol nie het nie.
Ek dink net, n Amarok moet nie met n patrol vergelyk word nie.
As brandstof nie n kwessie is nie, gaan n patrol n Amarok breek.
Ek brandbash nie, net my opinie
Groete
