I have a 97 RV6 Prado that runs around town mostly, with a good highway run most weeks. It does get to the bush every now and then.
I have been averaging 14 –15 lts/100k, for nearly four years. I believe that the economy was going west before my recent changes (full length roof rack, OME lift 30mm, Coopers 235/85/R16, the tyres give 105 k when speedo reads 100). I thought the roof rack would hinder the fuel econ, however with the slightly larger tyres it would help. (runs 110 k @ 2850rpm). The fuel econ is now 20 lt/100k on the highway!
I believe the car maybe running too rich, as smell soon after pulling up is quite strong. Any suggestions or similar experiences?
