Fuel Economy (Prado 40lt Petrol)

Andrew,

Driving around Wollongong (City) with ATR's and premium unleaded using 14.2l/100k's

Haven't done any distance for a while but previously had 13.6l/100k's on the highway. This was with original tyres also.

Cheers
Garth

Hey Andrew,

I've got a hilux with the same 4.0ltr auto 5 speed and it returns about 12.7 around town and a bit over 10 on the highway

My 2005 V6 Prado returned 14.4l/100km over its first 10,000km (~10% offroad). I then had a Unichip fitted, and it has returned 13.5l/100km over the subsequent 20,000km (still ~10% offroad).

City driving figures were 17.1 before Unichip and 16.9 after, and highway driving figures 12.7 before and 12.2 after. Offroad figures vary with the terrain.

I hired one and took it off road. Used 30Lper 100. I was not too impressed.

My father-in-law has a new 4lt Petrol Prado and on his last trip up to Brisbane from Port Macquarie he got 12lt/100 (600km).

15.2L/100km over about 4500km, 98% suburban driving

Hi. On a recent trip to the Isa got 11.5ltrs/100km with my 2005 Prado VX. Used a fair bit of Cruise Control on trip. Went up to Isa from Brissy via Roma, Longreach and Curry.
Cheers
