Driving back from Wellington to home - average speed and litres per 100K.
If google is correct that's 25.2 mpg and average speed of 50 mph
I'm sure it will do much less when towing and when I fit the expedition roof rack tho'

So, you are looking at about 200-300 miles for a full tank?

I really must get around to removing the resonator - such a shame to have a V8 sounding like a hoover.
How did you do yours - aftermarket pipes or chop-out the resonator? I have a vague plan to see if I can get the pipes from the RRS TDV8 to fit in-place of the resonator as it doesn't have one but should be roughly the same chassis.

That's a pretty tidy job and doesn't look to complicated - no bends is good.

Perfect our RHD sounds like this and that is why my son bought it I am certain The LHD sounds just normal. When we looked at RHD on the ramp the middle muffler had been removed and had been lashed up, Jubilee Clips and what looks like gas pipes. Test will be the MOT next week. MOT tester already thinks it’s a No! D3 2.7 Zermatt silver (not another one)
