My auto 3.4 prado is eating around 20ltrs per hundred kms, I would hate to pay for the V8 fuel :shock:

mine vary fom 12.5 - 15l/100km depending on what fuel i use and

21-27l/100km towing a 3.5t trailer from Brisbane to Sydney

and you can maintain 100km /h up most hills

we have a large quantity of these in our company ( v8 petrol 100+ series cruisers )


It really does depend on how you drive them..

we do lots of high way mileage and found that if your nice 12.5- 14 on average..on the high way.

If your keen to get from a to b double it ! 28k /100

round town 20-23/100

towing / mud / sandwork go as high as 37-39 / 100

cheers
