Now i think its getting better economy because the auto doesn't hunt for gears and you can drive it in lower revs due to the extra torque
in eco mode the hilux will struggle to get over 160km/hr in pwr mode it will go over 180km/hr with out the FCON chip...
thats my 2cents i have 13,000km on the clock...
They're all different. Gen 7 some people get 800kms out of a tank....I've never got more than 560...EVER.bolong53 wrote:What can I do? My 2016 SR5 DC has had very high fuel consumption since new. Very best I have got is 10.2 litres/100. Dealer said it would get better by 20000 but now after 33000 cannot get anywhere near the 7.8 Toyota claims in advertising. I bought mine because if claimed low fuel consumption. Not happy with Toyota. Previously had a 2012 Mazda BT50 GT and it was lower than 9 under similar conditions over 90000 km. Toyota has done nothing to help despite alerting them to the problem. I have been told there were a few 2.8 engines that are using too much fuel. Any suggestions please.

What I've noticed is the people with bull bars, trade racks (roof racks, ladder racks etc) and those with canopies are posting the higher fuel costs.
At the moment 95% of my driving is done in peak-hour Melbourne traffic. I also have a bull bar and trade racks.
I'm at 2,500km and my economy has drifted out to 12.1L/100km.
I'll wear that, I'm carrying 200kgs around town at half the cost my V8 ute used too. Smaller cars might be able to do a little bit better but I don't drive a smaller car, I drive a two tonne truck.
