During our tour, we kept diary of the expenses and the events.
Here are some statistics, please help yourselves.

(All the prices are $NZ.)

Refuelings:
When we got the bike, the tank was not full, so we also returned it with half tank.
Since the speedo cable broke in very early phase, the distances are based on other people's trip meters, distances marked in the maps, and roadsigns.
The average fuel consumption was around 5l/100km (20 km/l).
