That is what pre delivery is for, but they do nothing for the money you pay.
It is brand new, "how could it be wrong".

Did a 700 km run yesterday through a slow winiding mountain range and flat country and averaged 8.1 / 100km happy with that witn now just under 2000km on clock

I have just clocked up 41 000km on my cab chassis Dmax. It is unladen 99.9% of the time with no sides. Fuel usage has hovered around 10L/100km but last week after a lot of highway driving it recorded 9.2L/100km. That's the best I have ever recorded so maybe the motor is easing up. I run BFG KM2 tyres which are quite heavy. A bloke told me that his mileage dropped by a litre/100km after fitting KM2 tyres due to their weight. I've never come close to figures like 8.2L/100km that others are recording.

Bob, the KM2's will reduce your economy considerably due to rolling resistance.
I use K02's on the MUX and it dropped a good 1ltr per hundred with those. I used KM2's on my Patrol and it dropped a little more.
It has more to do with the size and aggressiveness of the tread more so than the brand of tyre. BFG make a great tyre.

The extra litre per 100km is well worth it considering the performance of the KM2s. They are without a doubt the best tyre I have ever run. I absolutely cannot rate them highly enough. Pricey, but then good things usually are.
