Hi to interested partys.

Around 10litres per 100km sounds pretty much on the money - about what we get when not towing.

Sounds about spot on to me. Uncle gets about 10/11 L per 100klms. Jumps to about 16/18 when towing his 22 foot van. He's rapted. Old 80 series 4.5 petrol used to use 18/20 round town about 26/28 when towing the same van huge difference plus more low down grunt with the diesel. Reckons it's the best thing since sliced bread.My hilux 2.8D uses 10 per 100.I'd be very happy to be getting what your getting in a vehicle that weighs double with a sh@t load more get up n go. Hope you enjoy it as much as my uncle does. Regards Steve M

Still waiting for my newie. It was supposed to be in my garage a fortnight ago.

The diesels must be selling well.

Yes I believe the 4.2 TD are rated via Toyota at 11 Litres / 100KM combined city highway cycle so 10 litres for mostly highway would be right. Thats fantastic for a big heavy car .

Follow up.On return trip fuel used was 87litres for 829kilometers travelled,car now has 2,579 klms on clock so I would expect this fig to better when run in,will keep informed as to what occurs later
.Of cource this vehicle has a certain product fitted from new me knowing what it does.And I am more than pleased with the performance of the unit I agree with you great for such a weighty vehicle.Quite surprising in fact.
