Went on an open road trip today to Raglan - about 160 km each way - to see this place (never been there before) and to check the trucks open road gas consumption. Along the way this happened so I stopped to take a pic



We took the winding back roads there and picked up the motorway on the way back. Used 51.58 ltr & covered 350km all up. That's 14.7ltr/100km. I must note that here in New Zealand most travelling involves hilly country. Town is 18-19 ltr/100km.

On a side note, we stopped & looked at the view, ate our fish & chips, fed the seagulls & departed. No pictures. Way too windy.

This place has the premier surfing beaches & figures in the world champs if I recall.

 

Lol, that is awesome.

 

I like your dash better than the USA version, but I must of missed something what happened? I guess I'm slow.

 

lol I can't afford to go on trips anymore... the only millage my truck see's right now is going to college and back. occasionally to work haha. So the weather down there is nice year round for the most part right?

 

What is so different about his dash besides it's a right hand drive and the speedometer is in kp/h?

 

Milages is 111111 km's. As I turned the corner and pulled over to wait for the bikers I saw the milage! Had to take the pic! LOL

But yea, The dash is in km's & metric gauges but then I think the Canucks also have this dash. Oh yea, blue LED's too.

 

True, but that blue lights is something anyone could do with some money. But, I will admit it does look nice.
