Can anyone tell me what the fuel economy is like on a 80 series Landcruiser diesel, 5 speed manual

Just curious what its like under 14 litres/100 km? More? Less?

about 13l/100 give or take.

Cool Thanks

i have a 1hz with a aftermarket turbo ...i get about 650 to 700 a full tank i think its a 90L tank

And to expand on that a poorly tuned and heavy right foot driver such as myself can get 400-500kms to the 95 main tank (2nd tank is 50litres btw) but this barely ever happens. I have to take it really easy to get 500kms.

But dont get to worried about my figures as mine isn't tuned properly and i have been putting it off until i get my decent zorst and extractors.

You should get 1100 to both tanks (145litres).

I got 1300kms to both tanks. So presuming your correct bout the sub being 50litres thats 140l = 1300kms.

so 10.7l/100kms

thats a 1997 hzj80 with 330,000 on the clock, stock standard.

Another question for ya all, considering I get good fuel economy and it doesn't blow ANY smoke what so ever would that indicate the motor's still in good nick? Doesn't make any knocking sound when cold yet either

thats nice mileage badlux and a nice year for an 80.
i would call you a slow driver but you do live in perth so good miles could be expected

ive got 360+ on mine and doesnt smoke much, only when she drowns in mud and is flat to the boards

I would say excellent condition (is your radiator lined in oil from an engine rebuild?), or you have had your valve clearances done perfectly not too long ago.

Should invest ~1k on extractors and exhaust package.

12 litres per 100ks highway driving, 1HZ, 285 thou on the clock

in my previous 80, stock as a rock DX, 1HZ I could get as good as 9l/100km on the highway at 100km/h, but it was mostly around 11l/100km mixed.

my current 1996 multivalve turbo is around 12l/100km under most conditions with 5" lift, 35's, winch, bar work and rear tyre carrier, but a heavy foot will send it to 14 and beyond pretty easily.

I have a diesel Series 80 with 250k on the clock, it has aftermarket Garret T3 turbo and intercooler. I get just over 13 lt/100km normal running, almost 2500km on a fuel load........ and around 15 lt/100km with the boat out the back.
Juz

are you guys taking into account your tyre size? dumbdance you must be, as with 35s your odometer wouldn't be telling you such good economy? what tyre size is the 80 series speedo calibrated to?

yes that is corrected for the tyre size.
