toyota 200 v8 petrol or 3lt Nissan patrol

So you get around 14 liters per 100 towing a 21 foot caravan sitting in 90 to 100 Kph...... If I could get that on the highway when not towing I would be rapt.

We get around 16 to 17 on the Highway not towing and towing our Ultimate camper we get 19 to 21 liters per 100.

Olcoolone, is yours petrol or diesel ?? Sounds like your referring to the petrol V8 ??? My uncles (V8 T/D) gets 10/11's L per 100 not towing open road, approx 12/13 round town and when towing his van, not sure on weight but is 23 footer he's around the 15/16L per 100. He sold his old 80 series petrol due to the fuel bill killing his wallet, that was around 21/22 running around town and anything up to 28/30 towing the van. Absoluetly loooves the 200's pulling power and economy, hasn't had any issue with excessive oil consumption either, its the first of them, think it was built 08 but he got it just after xmas so was first registered 09...............

Turbo diesel, we have been talking to our local Toyota about the bad economy.

The Landcruiser has ARB bar, ARB alloy roof rack, Warn M12000 winch, Safari snorkel, Kaymar rear bar, Lovell 3800Kg GVM upgrade with 2 inch lift and Toyota steel rims with Mickey Thompson MTZ tyres...... the back seats have been removed, no aux batteries installed and no fridge.

The Mickey Thompson's added about 1 liter per 100 over the standard 18 inch Dunlop tyres.

The Landcruiser weighs in at 3050Kg as is with 1/4 tank of fuel.

We have tried varying speed from 85Kph to 115Kph in 5th and 6th gear with very little difference in fuel consumption.

Possibly the reason why ?? Maybe with all the extra's. My uncles is as stock as a rock, no bars,lifts, running factory tyres (2nd set now) etc, as it came out the Toyota dealer. Could explain why the difference ?? Cheers Steve

Thanks for that those are the numbers i was hoping to hear as i was expecting around 21l/100 while towing.
I looked at a 2007 diesel 200 Sahara which was around $88000 so i thought i can buy a lot of petrol for the price difference.

Hello boobook2 My regular trvelling mate has a 2005 V8 Duel/Fuel Cruiser, He has travelled over 120000 Klm with it to date with know problems at all.
He gets around 22-23 L/100 on Petrol, and 28- 30 L/100 on Lpg, when towing his 3tonne Van, He is happy with that,
At the moment in Melb, Petrol is $1.38 p/ltr, and Lpg is $0.58 p/ltr
That equates to $31.74 P/100k Petrol, and $17.40 P/100k on Gas
He is very happy with that, we did a trip 2 years ago to Alice springs, Kings canyon, Ayres Rock, etc,etc, when away from big towns or cities the price of Lpg can get a lot dearer [ but so can petrol and diesel ] When the gas got up around the 90c to a dollar mark, we did not care if we ran on petrol until we got to our next cheaper Lpg source Hope this info is of some assistance dazren

Hi Robin

i know what your saying but I can't find a new gu 4800

Dick

Hi Robin

I also meant to say I can't find a late model second hand one either they are very rare I should have gone that way before I bought the 3lt

thanks
Dick

There are a couple of 2010 4.8 litre patrols in Victoria at the moment.

They are Nissan Executive Vehicles with low ks around 8ks.

I think they came from Dandenong Nissan.

We got rid of our 2008 3ltr Patrol, 22 to 26 litres per 100ks it had 30ks on the clock.

And purchased a 2010 4.8 litre Patrol, all I can say is it's fantastic.

Hi Daza

Thanks for that info I don't think I could talk the wife into going to Vic to look at a car.
I noticed that you traded your 3lt a while ago for a petrol model. What sort of klm do you get per lt towing your van?.
You said you were going through 22/26 litres with the 3lt that seems a lot I was getting around 18lt/100klm. I was always worried about the engine exploding though so was never really happy with it.

Dick

Yes just put my foot in my mouth. Just had a look around and found that you can indeed get a 200 series petrol, didn't know that!

If trying to tell the difference from behind, a 200 series the V8 petrol will have VVT after it. V8 petrol certainly available as you have said but they are also a tad better on fuel then the older 100 series V8.............
