still no answer

Title edited for clarity.

My old 5L used to get around 520-550kms basically all open road. Around town it would get as low as 380-400kms. It was never great on fuel. That's with heavy tray, canopy, bull bar and 31" muddies. Good realiable ute though

In all honesty man what load has it got (mods) and how do you drive it? You could probably get anywhere from 250 to 600 on a tank purely on how hard you push it. Fuel economy is such a big variable. If it doesn't smoke a lot or cover the tailgate in soot it's not too bad.

This won't help your cause either

If you have a 150 litre tank, then I would suggest you have a problem. If you have a 50 litre tank then you are probably doing about right. My old 1998 Rodeo had a little tank and it woudn't get very far. Now I have a big tank and can't afford to fill it

I have a '99 LN167r, 5L 3.0L engine, 2" lift, 33" muddies on 15"steel rims, steel winch bar (no winch, triple loop), alast time I paid attention to my mileage per tank it was roughly about 400km per 3/4 of a tank. Only running ths stock 77L tank.

I drive it hard, i have a heavy right boot. I don't change gears until about 3000rpm.

This is all around town driving (Western Sydney), haven't gone on a decent enough trip to work out the difference.

I would get 10 to 12l/100km with my work 5L Hiluxs. I had to log fuel consumption, so I remember that well.

The vehicles were all new at the time and completely stock with sometimes a canopy and always those wonderful cheese-cutter tyres on split rims.

My old turboed 5L used to get 12.5l/100km loaded up on the highway or empty around town, didnt make a difference.
