100 series petrol auto economy

For your DAD - around town and depending on how 'heavy' his right foot is expect at absolute best 14l/100km. Normal will be around the 18-20l/100km. On a recent trip to the further reaches of the north of WA saw the v8 100s using 30-36l/100km. As for towing - expect anything between 25-40l/100km. Thirsty aren't they? rgds

Turbo 100 series 13 around town 17 to 21 towing an 18 foot camper depending on speed and head winds. speeds were faster than 90k

I have a LC100 GXL T/D Auto with 5,000k on the clock. Mostly used for school bus but have also towed camper, and done some reasonably serious bush work. Doing between 14 & 15 L / 100k. Hoping to get less as it loosens up.
