Joel,
All I have on My Triton is an ARB BullBar and 265/65R17 Tyres. The ute was using this amount well before the tyres got changed. Mitsubishi don't seem to give a rats arse either. They may sell heaps of utes because they are cheap but if they don't look after their customers then whats the point. I buy a new vehicle every 3 years and won't get one next time. I think i will probably get the Amarok.

Im not sure that is true, its just easy to say that at a so called diesel specialist, i have an auto challenger and can achieve under 10 l/100 on a run. How do they explain the Dmax auto using less than the manual

Yeah thats exactly what I thought. Its funny as a mate of mine had a Auto Challenger I think it would have been about a 2012 and my brother has a Auto 2014 Triton and both use about 13.5-14.5l/100kms just like mine. There has to be something wrong with some of these 2.5 engines otherwise why are some really efficient and some so bad??

Too many factors enter the equation, driving style / tyres / accessories etc, not to mention how people actually calculate the mileage, my auto (4spd) averages 11 to 12's. If I saw 10's I would be happy.
