that sounds like excellent economy. One question, what model of toyota turbo diesel was it? prado 90, 110, cruiser 80, 100, etc. I had a man look for the answer on the thread but couldn't find it. Is it staring me straight in the eyes?

Hi Sam
My vehical is a 2005 GXL Landcruiser 100sTD. It has done about 8000kls. I Picked it up in Dec 05. I have traded in from an 80s 4.5ltr petrol and am most impressed with the fuel economy. I am going over to Beachport on the next weekend and am looking foward to trying it out on the beaches over there.

Bill

Following up on our fuel usage on our trip to Beachport
General running around before we left: 432kls, 42.5l (9.83l/100kls)
Geelong to Beachport and some sand driving 576.9kls, 65.7l (11.3l/100kls)
Sand driving and return trip: 702kls, 77.8l (11.08l/100kls)
These figures are very good in my opinion. They are mainly highway as it is approx 480kls from Geelong to Beachport.
The sand driving was very good and the vehicle handled it with ease and power to spare. These auto's make you very lazy as allyou have to do is point the direction and the car does the rest.
I hope these figures are what you are looking for.

Regards
Robert
