No worries, it's normal because we always calculate ltr per 100k's but this way it was easier for me. But I think everybody can reduce their fuel consumption by not be reving to much ( not above 2500) little bit more air in your tyres and look far enough ahead in traffic. And use cruise control when possible.

Cruise on these things is useless. As soon as they sniff a hill they drop out of lock up and back down gears for almost no reason. I'm looking at performing the lockup torque converter mod to help this and i always drop the cruise out when it sniffs a hill so as not to allow it to rev it's guts out.

My tyres are always at 40psi unless offroading and since we purchased the thing standard we have always run either Mickey T MTZ's or the current NITTO Trail Grapplers. We've had much better consumption even with the mudders.

The roof rack may have added a fraction though
