Great to see the city lights. A total of 4495 miles at 6.4 nmph and 5.27 lph (1.39 US gph) and 1.21 mpl (4.57 US mpg) from East London, South Africa to Fremantle Australia. We had expected burning 5 liters per hour for 6.25 nm per hour and were prepared to reduce rpm for better fuel mileage for much of the run if necessary. We normally carry 3800 liters of fuel. Here we carried 1400 liters extra but only used 3700 liters so have 1500 liters left on our arrival in Fremantle.
