Increase fuel economy- diesel

[DeLuxHiLux]

Gee, I'd be happy to get 10l/100km!!!! Since Day 1 mines had a nothing like that. Soon after purchase from new,I got front and rear bar, winch, rails and snorkel, along with custon alu canopy with roof rack, and the best I"ve ever got is 12 city and 11 highway. I just got 16l/100km towing a 1100kg camper trailer.

I too wondered what Planet they do the sticker consupmtion testing on, because it sure as hell isnt any planet I drive on!!!!!

I get on average 13l / 100km and have done so since I owned it. It's also a work vehicle which carries a lot of shit around day to day. You just deal with it.

I get 10.8l/100km everywhere, highway or around town. Never budges, and that's not driving it gently either.

My father has a Colorado TD and was boasting he was getting 10l/100km everywhere, until I showed him his speedo was 10% out (ie doing 90 when it says 100). That kind of burst his bubble, especially as his has an alloy tray and bullbar where mine are all steel.

I,ve got a DualCab TD 2009 and have been averaging 9l/100km with normal burbs driving and have been happy with that.

I have a 2008 Dual Cab.. Im getting about 720 +/- 10km out of a tank..

So mileage roughly 9.5L p/100km.. Thats with mostly city and small freeway runs..

If you want to get some good mileage , like others have said.. Dont be heavy on the accelerator, roll off whenever you can... I noticed managed an extra 50-80km when I made a conscious effort...

Does anyone know how much different a set of 31x10.5 m/t should make a difference to fuel Econemy I never really checked myne before fitting the Tyers but I'm struggling to get 500km cars completely stock besides bulbar and winch might have to look into exhaust and chip

I get around 700 with vortex diesel
I coast where possible, you would be surprised how long you can go in neutral for!
