Hi Everyone,
What sort of kilometers are you guys getting per litre for a V6 PRADO on gas. Try and be honest as I am only getting about 260 to 280 from 70 litres. I reckon I should probably get 300 to 350ks. Just want some figures to hit my gas mechanic with.

Thanks
Matt

I have a 99 Prado V6. I have a 90 Litre tank (fitted where the main petrol tank was). I will get between 450 - 500 Kms on a tank (best so far was about 550kms, but not 100% sure this was accurate - may have used some petrol by mistake). I get about 400 kms if towing. Off road brings similar figures to towing, but a bit better.

I usually keep the subtank 1/2 to full, to give another few hundred kms if caught short without gas.

Hope this helps

Hi RD,
Is your tank a 90 litre usable or a 70 litre usable. I beleive that mine is a 90 but only 70 usable. You are gettingb great economy compared to mine.
Thanks

It is supposedly a 90 litre tank, that has about 85 litres usable. I know this sounds wrong, but I was assured by the installer it is 90 lts, and I have managed to fill it with a touch over 85 litres (once), but usually about 80 - 82 litres.

This did require a lift in the rear suspension to maintain approx 30cms ground clearance, but all works well.
