[QUOTE="UnderEmployedGeo, post: 597963, member: 20002"] I struggle to get out there, have even snuck out for a morning or two - I'm about and hour and half from most of the eastern half of the GT. On cars and fuel - I recently bought a 2nd hand VW Amarok, and it has a 2l turbo diesel engine and I am pleasantly surprised by it's efficiency. It's running at consistently less than 10L/100ks. That's pretty damned impressive for a very capable 4x4. I get around 800ks from the 80L tank (obviously I never run it to empty). You can change out the factory tank for a 135L tank for these too. As for sleeping on the ground - yeah not a fan either - but the Amarok has a huge ute tub - big enough to roll out a swag - that's what I do. [/QUOTE]
