depends on tires etc i get way more on my road 31's than my 35'simex.... but usually 550km on average. injectors and injector pump could need attention, also exhaust/boost/lead boot always factor in! just drive it and enjoy it!

I can just push 500k on a 3/4 fill if I drive really carefully on my 90 with the 1kzte (has an 80L Tank)...and thats $110 as at tonight, old LJ 2LTE prado would get 400k to a 70L tank on 33's round town, not sure about the Lexus powered one yet.

I have a 3.0d 90 series playdoh and can get anything from 620-700 kms out of a full 80 litre tank. Best ever was 730kms.
Truck is bog std and I didn't think that was too bad for a full time 4wd rig.

Thats strange, I thought mine was a bit thirsty when I bought it, but one of my mates has one which is just as bad, so figured it was just the norm.
Still not as bad as my brother in laws surf though, hes lucky if he sees 400 ks out of a tank.

95 Surf 1KZ-TE manual , 500-550km / 60ltr Tank, on 31's
400-450km on 33's.
2500rpm seems to be the best balance between power and economy

If you worry about the kilometres per litre of petrol or the diesel and worry about dents you might as well give up 4 wheeling

Some of you guys are getting pretty decent k's per Litre (especially the dude with the 1UZ!?) but Im just wondering, wouldn't tyre diameter and aftermarket diff ratios put the odometer reading out by miles?

Nope dont worry bout dents in the cruiser, its the school bus and tow vehicle - not all 4wds on the forum are used in anger - and like a yota could keep up with the zuk off road
Got a manual prado now (93 with the 1kzte) getting 600ish per 70 litres

Legally the speedo is supposed to be accurate, which would mean the odo is accurate too. So *if* the vehicle is certed correctly then the odo will be accurate.
