fuel consumption 1997 4wd hilux

[KAZZA]

Does anyone know what the average fuel consumption is on these things?

mine is 2.4 petrol
33's .extractors and 2.5" exhaust system

now i seem to be getting about 250 to 280 k's out of my tank.
Is this normal or would u say this is excessive.
if so what could be the problem and how do i solve this.

Thats terrible! assuming you have a 60 litre tank that's 24l/100km. Somethings wrong-maybe a tune up would help

[whiteknight]

Make sure ya air cleaner is clean and maybe get a tune up - those figures are shocking!

Hows it run while you are driving?

[KAZZA]

It runs absolutly beautiful while driving.
There is plenty of power and it idles very nice.
but after 40 ks my fuel gauge points to 3/4 of a tank

its driving insane

Are you sure its a 1997? I thought they were all 2.7 EFI Petrol engines?

[KAZZA]

yes positive this is the last model that was brought out in 97 with a 2.4

maybe you know somebody that is looking for one like this and can give it a tune up.
i am selling my baby and will probably by another 4b

cheers

That;s absolutely S**thouse.

I have a 91 2.8D and get about 450 - 550 depending on driving.

I know this may be a simple question but when refuelling how much do you put in?? these have a 65 lt tank, so fo rexample I put in about 40 - 45 ltr when mine is showinf empty.

Could be something simple like stuffed fuel gauge?

Else, like others have said check thing like air filter and perhaps change the fuel filter and get a tune.

Cheers
