With Twin SUs and extractors, 5spd OD box, fairly stock otherwise, I get
around 11L/100km,(or 9km per litre) would probably be better than that with
the stock carbie. As for the towing capacity, I think it's around 400kg
(without brakes?), but don't quote me on that, I'd have to check my manual
to be sure.
