haltec i think.

Yeah wow, thats getting up there! Im wondering if a lower KW Forester ej20T would be better. Really keen on that engine but do alot of daily driving.
I could except 12L/100 but if its around 15L thats just nuts. I was reading another thread about a SVX T3 doing 19L/100km when towing a trailer, thats
alot of fuel on a interstate drive!

"they're big heavy trucks really."
LOL I dont think so really, The TARE on my kombi is 1200, i know there are other kombi models lighter and slightly heavyier.
Im pretty sure a new commodore or ford falcon is around 1600KG+ and those are 4 door sedans 
Just use a N/A 2.5 and you will be happy!

I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado SS, 6 litre, 345 hp.
It only uses 12 l/100 on the highway empty and 15.5 l/100 when towing car on trailer.
Fantastic tow car in real comfort.
Had it for 3 years, now for sale on carsales.com, just type in silverado ss in keywords to find it.

Well there's "tare" and then there's reality. I don't believe anyone in Oz is driving bay that weighs 1200kg. We all fill em up with crap!

+1 the kombi is stuff all compared even to modern small 4 cyl cars.
thats why a kombi hauls ass with a descent engine. with the right engine a kombi should be able to achieve sub 10L/100.
why not use a EZ30 or a comode 3.8? I hear those 2 get great economy even with the heavier bay bus. key is the low end torque and correct gearing
for economy.
