3rd Annual Great Ocean Rd Cruise!

[Budowski]

Thanks Mel and Jarrad awesome trip great effort, Vess and I will scout the pubs for you guys next year see whats legit as we will be probably getting there an hour early like we did this year.

 

Hey raven good to see you made it home safe.

 

Tallied up the kms last night and checked my fuel consumption

 

Total trip from filling the tank thursday night at the morphettvale mobil driving to the start of the freeway and then the whole trip via coming home doing the rest of the great ocean rd via portland,Mt gambier,beach port,robe,kingston,salt creek,meningie and down through wellington,strath,clarendon back home to morhpettvale 1775km. costing $180 in fuel total.

 

Tried something out on the way home from warnambool where we filled the tank and next top up in mt gambier only used 12 litres of fuel

 

Then with a full tank from Mt gambier to home we sat on 95km/h soaking up the sights and stopping and getting out in some awesome beach towns we managed to get 25-30L of fuel used for 493km, 8hours with 1 1/2 hours of stopping at beachport/robe/kingston to cheack out the beaches and lookouts.

 

running a 4.11 diff at 95km/h at 3000rpm, will check the backyard might drop a 3.9 in it next year.

 

Just an idea of costs for the SA guys who are thinking of doing this trip what we spent money wise $40 each on drinks and travel food each $180 fuel, $40 each camp fees, $20-30 each 1st night pub/resturant meal,2nd day lunch meal $15-20, stop at a coffeeshop $4-6 for coffee/iced,treetop walk $15 each, maccas on the way home $8 each.

 

$340 for a single person doing the trip or.

$250 for a single person with fuel shared.

$500 for a couple food/fuel combined.
