fuel range on a 3L or 5L hilux

Post by capt skinny »

just as a matter of interest,

what fuel burn are you getting from these engines, i typically get about 8.5 km per litre or 24 miles per gallon, from a 5L, I wasn't expecting a hybrid car or anything, but thought i might get at 10km/litre, that's town and country driving.

here's a quick link to the calculator http://www.accommodationz.co.nz/economycalculator.html
