Would be quite helpful if the type of road(s) used are stated as well. My 900+ (+ means fuel light did not come on yet) km per tank seems like not good economy at all until I mention that it was done in metropolitan Perth, mostly stop start traffic and no freeway travel at all.
I've covered just shy of 110,000 miles and still haven't had to put any petrol in
That's amazing.

What goes up, must come down though.
From memory, I managed to get 1402km out of a tank before getting anxious about how much was left in the tank and topping it up from the container in the back. That was in the original OURI30 FD CRDi manual way back in 2008. I think Thumper exceeded this figure shortly after. I regularly got in excess of 1200km from every tank.
I reckon if a CRDi owner lived in a country town, with no real traffic, travelled 30-40-50 ks to work in the countryside, flat roads, no fear of really holding up other traffic, 80-90 ks per hour, the economy would be ideal.

I have never driven from Adelaide to Sydney, like Tholstrup did in 2007, but is that mostly flat roads? If so, it's probably why they chose that trip.
