Nah thats what I'm getting which seems to be the norm from what I've read. Completely stock LN106 2.8D Dual Cab Hilux.

when I drove the same sort of lux was getting 11 to 13 dcab stock 2.8 depending on what sorts of speeds I did ..

NJ Pajero 3.5L DOHC manual 31s

15L/100 regardless of town, country, empty or loaded, always the same.

80 Series 1HDFT manual 285s and all the fruit and weight

town + country = 11L/100
towing = 14L/100

05 XR6t auto with 400hp

town = 15L/100
country = 8.5L/100

WQ Fiesta 1.6L manual

town + country = 7.5L/100

Gives a bit of comparison for petrol and diesel and power vs no power

Makes me feel a bit better reading this.

I'm averaging 20L/100km around town and highway, with a supercharged V8 and 33" tyres. BUT, that's on LPG

So with gas in my area sitting around 1/3 the cost of normal unleaded, the cost is the equivalent of ~7L/100km on petrol

I thought only my wife considered the dollar a unit of measure for fuel.

We should go cruising through the city and see how many alarms get set off lol! Am missing my rear resonator at the moment and the little 1UZ has a tendancy to sound rather big with a 3" single

Can't beat cubes though, yours would probably wheel stand over my measly 400hp heheh

Speedo error and odometer error are not the same.
Many cars have the speedo set to read 5% more than the odometer. That means drive at indicated 100km/h for an hour and the odo reads 95km.

Im betting they arent.

Im also betting some peoples caculators are broken too...
I heard one bloke with a 4.8 Patrol saying he got 9's regularly . Maybe on a tilt tray...

I've got tyres that are 3" taller than stock but i've installed the correct speedo gear into the t/case. I had to do this after i did ratios because my speedo was out about 60klm/hr... cruising at 100klm (by the gps) my dash said i was doing 160klm/hr

Since i had the ratios done i'm getting 2-3L/100klm better economy. On the other hand my mate with his 4.8L patrol can get his down to about 22L/100klm on a good day. We went up the beach recently and he was getting 35-40L/100klm on the beach whereas i was on about 15-16l/100klm although the jeep weighs half his patrol and isn't auto...

cheers

Not sure what it works out to but long weekend it did 505kms to $260 at $1.30 a litre.
5ltr auto in a rover 35's speedo reads spot on.
I hate it.
