Callum,
The early Petrol 80 series Landcruisers were a 4.0 liter engine (pre 93 I think) I'd probably stay away from those, thirsty & not a lot of horse power to go with it.
93 on Petrol 80 series Landcruisers were all 4.5 liter 24 valve MPI engines, these are a good deal as they have the horsepower to back up the thirst for petrol, driven sensibly with the correct sized tyres on they will deliver 16-18 liters per 100km (500 - 560 km to the main tank), with larger tyres auto gearbox & a heavy right foot I get between 22 & 28 liters per 100km in
mine! (320 - 345 to the main tank).
Most will have a 45 liter sub tank which will extend your range by 160 to 200km.
Hope this helps.

Hi Callum
Jeff has nailed it with the above info.
80series are a great comfortable touring vehicle great on the road very little road noise.
And very capable off road even in stock form.
Still a few good ones getting around as they were last sold new 13 years ago.
Try and look for a 95 onwards build, these are the series 2 and the 40th anniversary the pick of the bunch. but still can command a premium price in good condition low klm under 200,000klm.
suspension /tyers /roofracks all will affect fuel economy.
For the 4.5litre engine a good guide, 16 liters per hundred klm on a run, 18l klm city. beach /offroad 20l+klm.
As with any 4wd servicing / parts can be costly so a good service history would be good.
I you intend to use it as a daily driver it could be a costly exercise if you commute a lot of klm .not an issue for me as i only commute 50klm a week and have another car and bike as
well.
Lpg conversionis an option, but i personaly wouldn't go down that road again.
Chews out the exhaust valves to quick.
Search exploroz
forum you will find a lot more info.

The best economy that I ever got out of my 1hz diesel 80 series was 14-16 liters per 100km, loaded & towing it used 22-24 liters per 100km.
Given that the 1FZ-FE has almost double the horsepower & about 100 more nm of torque, I don't find the fuel economy that bad & with a total of 270 liters of unleaded on board she will do between 1000 & 1250 km between fills.

If you buy a 95+ 4.5 petrol, they take
well to gas conversions, and use 20l/100 of gas, get 450kms from 90 litres of gas, then you have thesame range on 80 litres of fuel, with a comfortable reserve. current gas is 60c/l 7 litres of oil per 10000km is the maintenance required. z9 filter is 8 bux

Callum, I've had both an 80 4.5 auto for some years and now (after a prado 120 which was too small for all the wifes
camp gear) back to a 100 4.5 auto.
Both get about the same...20-22 L/100.
Seems expensive to run but measure it up aginst the increase purchase cost and serviceing for a diesel...not to mention also $ interest on the difference.
Mind you if I was towing a large van around Aust and doing heaps of kms the diesel would probably be the go.

Hi Spaandermann
The 80 series was basically one of the best cars around , they are just getting old now, I have only known one person with one on gas , it used the mixer system and was a constant problem to its owner , it typically ran around 22-24 lt /100km (350 -400km ) out of a tank - eventually it was re-converted back to petrol and the owner was much happier after that.

Hey Hey Heyyyyyy, Robin
whats this WAS!!!!! may be old but still a bench mark 4wd, LOL
spaanderman
usualy a 112 litre gas tank is fitted to the rear of an 80 series.
90 litres usable my impco system has been faultless for 5 years and average 350klm a tank city, 420/450klm hwy, 330klm towing a camper trailer.
Rule of thumb use 1/3 more lpg to petrol and can be a marginal saving out in the country as it is a lot dearer to buy.
The pros and cons of lpg have been disscused many times on here. best to do a search on exploroz, lpg should bring up heaps.

I had a 1HZ and later fitted a 1HZTD engine. There was stuff all difference in fuel consumption between the Non Turbo and Turbo Engine. 13 -14 highway 19/22 towing trailer. Keep the speed down to 90-100 I get 17.5 towing.

My 1HDT gets a consistent 12 l/100 (around 1200km range max if run dry but I never have and hopefully never will) and marginally better on the highway.. that is with 33" wheels with muddies on and a nice lift job. Towing the fully laden camper and a car full to
Cape York was a consitent 16 l/100.
The service cost is more with the diesel but I have never regretted buying the diesel over the petrol.
