This should be interesting, I love reading about someone 'consistently getting 8.7l / 100km in a petrol LC/Patrol'. Ok that was an exaggeration, but so are some of the 'legit' figures. It just turns into a bleep contest whereby some round off or fudge their economy numbers.

What ? Shock, horror !! Are you suggesting someone replying on this thread may be cooking the books ??? LOL
Overall, after almost 2.5 years through varied driving conditions, I've travelled 60,009kms and used 7,140.7 litres at a cost of $7,932.36 (that's anal, eh?).
That should give an average around 11.9l/100km. A normal week's driving generally returns 11.7l/100km

10000 at 9.3 per 100 equals 930 litres. $2000/930 litres equals $2.15 a litre

12.5l/100km is the best not towing and 13.5l/110kms towing.The worst 14.5l/100kms not towing and 16.5l/100kms towing(did get up to 18l/100kms but had stuffed fuel pump and injectors).I drive pretty carefully now fuel is so dear so could do alot worse with heavy foot.Vehicle is HZJ105 Cruiser towing
Tambo Cooper camper.
Personally Im not real impressed with these figures considering the lack of power it has(compared to the T/D Cruiser).

They are rated at 14lt/100km ,
mine's was a little less than rated, like the 4800Gu now, because mostly drive conservativily.

I tend to think that the official ratings don't consider real world use. I live in a mountainous area - not on the Pacific Highway.
Even before I turfed the pre-heater I was getting the same consumption. Removing it made no real difference. Adding extractors did though...

Hi Omaroo
Yes I see that your 4.2 is a fair bit up over rated to, so guess the hills don't help
. Cold fuel doesn't vaporize to
well either, but then those carbie heaters were an expensive pain.

2003 Landcruiser V8, I have had this vehicle 6 months now and checked the fuel consumption a few times, mostly driving to the speed limit, some 4 wd no towing at this stage, and mostly using fuel from same service station, this is the result,

11.98
13.72
13.60
13.40
15.00

Who cares? Whatever it takes.
As long as there's enough in the tanks for me to do what I want to do, when I want to do it and at the speed I want to do it at, I'm happy. When it gets low, I top them up. Easy. Life's too short to worry about things you can't control.
The more folks out there who crap themselves over rising
fuel prices the better IMHO. The end result will be cheaper 4x4's and less people out and about. Suits me just fine.

The way I look at fuel is I need it so I buy it, simple, if it gets to the point I can’t afford it, I downsize, but that isn’t going to happen anytime soon LOL, in fact I think I might upsize my CID shortly LOL.

My 4.2TD GU has averaged about 15.6L/100klm until now; being my daily driver.
Now it sits in the carport at least 5 days a week without getting fired up; cos I've got the little Feroza for around town. I haven't had it long enough to do any figures yet but it's hardly moved off full and I've done over 100klm in the last week. Holds 60 litres according to the book, so I shouldn't have to fill it very often.
The Patrol will now only be swung into action for outa-town trips of at least 100klm or night trips (as the Frozie has a intermittent headlight issue that I gotta get sorted).
