Re: should rockys be so uneconomical?

the official fuel consumption for a diesel Rocky / Foutrak is 25-35MPG..combined 30 MPG (thats about 9-9.5L/100km) so if i getting 8.5 L/100km i think im getting a pretty good deal!

Rugger/Rocky?Fourtrak are very economical usually. They just have a small tank so dont seem as economic. Not too many 4wd will get better..grand vit...

Jimny safety

I was reading on a UK car review site, that Jimnys are very dodgy handling wise, especially on wet roads. Some reviewers going as far as saying they are lethal! Any truth to this..wouldnt mind getting one at some stage.
