I have recently bough an 2004 3.0 l TD Hilux. It is a single cab with an alloy tray. The tyres are what came with the vehicle and they are Bridgstone Desert Duelers - 9R15LT. The only weighty additions are a steel bullbar and a tow bar. I only travel about 100-105 km/h on the open road and I am not a lead foot around town. The best fuel economy I have got is 13l/100km without any load. Is this the best I can expect? My old '86 2.4l Diesel tray top averaged aroung 11l/100 km and that was loaded to the gunnels.

It hasn't had a service since I bought it and I have only done about 2000 Km so far but it does have me a bit worried.

Any comments would be appreciated.
