Approximate Distance:

Average Fuel Consumption:

Average Fuel Cost:

3200 kilometers

530 litres

$795.00

Fuel consumption is based on 15ltrs per 100 kms plus 50 litres, and price is based on an average of $1.50 per litre. (you should calculate your own vehicles consumption, however I would suggest you use the $1.50 per litre for fuel, this will average out as fuel at Innamincka could be as high as $2.00 per litre.
