fuel consumpsion for a prado 3400 v6

Bill

I used to get about 12.5L/100kls, but that was on the open road and travelling at no more than 100kph.

Around town I didn't bother measuring fuel consumption, because I knew it would be pretty ugly.

Hi. We have a '98 Prado 3.4l manual. I don't think I've ever got better than the mid 13s. The other extreme was 140kph in the NT (before the speed limit was reduced, of course) fully loaded, with a roof rack piled high, when we used over 22 litres per 100 km.
I have noticed that slow work (hiills etc.) don't seem to make as much difference as speed and head wind strength.
I hope these figures help a bit. Work on 15 to 17 litres (roof rack, but empty) or a bit less without the roof rack, depending on conditions, lead foot syndrome, winds etc. as well as speed. But you can bank on the fact that you can knock off a couple of litres per 100 by holding the speed back to under 100.

I has the 2000 RV6 manual. I could get down to 9.5L/100km on the highway, fairly empty and staying on or under 100km/hr.

Around town around the 12 - 14l/100km mark.

On beaches around Moreton and Fraser, more like 19L/100km.

cheers

And if anyone here wants a Gregory's manual let me know, can't sell it so happy to give it away.

hi all thank you for your reply's, i was told they are a bit on the thirsty side cheers bill.

Would there be much difference sitting 110km/h not 100km/h??

Thanks
