XPLORER TECHNICAL DATA

[David Johnson <trainman@ozemail.com.au>]

>From CountryLink web site:

The average distance travelled per year is 240,000km

 Each XPLORER vehicle is fitted with a 1700 litre fuel tank for the traction and
auxiliary engines giving a fuel range of 16000 kilometres.



So...   An Xplorer can do two return trips to Perth before needing to be
refuelled.

Also... They would need to be refuelled 15 times a year (Just over once a
month).

And...  A fuel economy of 10.6 litres per 100 km (~ 22 mpg?)
