Lots

It really depends on the type of driving

We used to get around 14 on hwy heading up and down the coast on the freeway
But if we took the seanic route it would blow out to 17 and up

Perhaps better measured in pounds per hour?

I’d think it’s going to be a $30-$35/100km exercise. Hope this is overly pessimistic.

Anywhere from 14.5 to 17.5L/100k's depending on weather, road & your driving style/conditions.


Cheers

If the Territory is any where near the same economy as my aged PK Ranger I would expect with a 1.5T van you should be around 12-12.5L /100

An 07 model will be. It's awd so likely has the 6sp but it will drink, even with 'only' 1.5t van.

My fg falcon did 14's towing a camper van around 1.3t. Territory is heavier and built with the aerodynamics of a brick.

If you get a headwind, add 1-2l/100km.

Assume your PK Ranger is a diesel? an 07 Territory has a 4.0 Barra (Petrol)
