BMW X5 4.6iS : as above : 31.7litres per 100kms. Top speed 250kph.
Porsche Cayenne : as above : 48.1litres per 100kms. Top speed 280kph.
The Porsche has a 100l fuel tank and needed refueling every 200km's.
Overland 4WD achieved these figures in the NT.
Not bad for 4WD. !!!!

I wonder how much it improves if they cruise at 200 ?
Pushing one of the nuggets through the air at 280 would have to hurt the economy, as it obviously does . . .

carazy

my god thats pathetic. Are these average fuel cons or flat out?
If I had a car that lasted 200kms I'd want my money back.

These 4WDS were driven flat out with mirrors folded in.
One of the pictures in Overland 4WD, shows the Cayenne speedo at 254km/hr and the trip computer showing 50litres per 100kms !!!
These driven normally , average 20litres per 100kms.
Next year we get Volkswagens V10 diesel Toureg. !!!!
I posted this out of interest. If I had a scanner, I would have scanned the pictures.
The test was done in the NT.
