[QUOTE="davsgold, post: 676809, member: 6570"] we look at it this way, and have been across and back like 14 times from central west NSW, it is 3050km to Kalgoorlie one way and it takes about one oz of gold to get there and back is the way we look at it. years ago on the first trip in 2009 when gold was around $1000/oz and diesel was, well way less than now, it still took about an oz of gold to cover the trip. and our last trip in 2023 and gold up around $3000/oz and diesel probably averaged $2.50/liter lowest $2.10 and upto $3.00 along the Nullarbor roadhouses, it still works out that one oz of gold covered the trip, at about $1400 each way we have a 2015 D-Max with a dyno tune to get more power for towing a big van and get about 18km/100 average, depends on the wind direction and speed you travel at of course. this is the new van but the last few trips was in a similar van same size and weights, but give an idea of our setup [ATTACH type="full" width="968px"]12673[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
