Sorry - we have a 2000 model Rodeo with the 3.2 V6, and it is pretty heavy on fuel. Plenty of grunt when required, but you need to drive it with a VERY light right foot to get acceptable fuel economy.
If you google "Holden Rodeo fuel economy" you'll find plenty of similar comments from other owners. There are a few suggestions out there for improving the fuel consumption, but I haven't seen anything that works convincingly. I think you'll be spending a lot of time running on LPG........
The motor is strong and build quality surprisingly good, plus our Space Cab even has room for the dog in the space behind the seats....Last edited by Mr Brush; 9th May 2010 at 10:38 AM. Reason: typos

Like others have said, they're a thirsty motor. The later model V6s use a larger motor which is more economical. I have a rodeo 4wd with the 2.8 TD motor in it and get about 650kms from a tankful. My mate who lives down the road has the same vehicle with the 3.2 V6, does the same sort of work as me, same sort of driving and he struggles to get 450kms from a tankful.

Theoritically is a funny word isn't it Oh well, the Triton motor was pretty hungry (7km/L) so the Rodeo can't be much worse.

I've got a rodeo 3L turbo deisel crew cab with a trade canopy on the back and ladders on the roof and get about 650km out of 60L. It would probably be better if i had less wind resitance/weight. The turbo means it's not slow either.

That's all I can say about the Rodeo. Much more power and alot comfier than the triton. It sounds alot better and has a much bigger rev range too.
Driving with no weight (no tray) on the back is crazy, especially on dirt
