I had a v6 in a 90/91 4 runner,and you could watch the fuel gauge move over a 20 km trip into town..Im putting a turbod km V8 in and think economy will almost improve....but unless this one had issues(not that i was aware of?) it wasn't economical.

Be prepared to spend lots (and lots) on gas that's all
, compared to a diesel one anyway

I've had a v6 one in the past and now a v8 one. The v8 is way cheaper to run

yup, I get 400km tithe most from a tank, $130 worth, they have a habit of leaking oil from the valve covers and cam seals as well, I'm in the middle of replacing mine with a 7mge, 60hp more and miles more economical

Im roughly looking at 300km to a tank around town with approx 40kg worth of gear in it constantly... Does this sound about right ?
