From what I can gather, it seems my dpf is doing it burn very frequently - I have the snorkel so u "know" when the dpf is doing its thing. It raises cruising fuel economy through the roof, 60km/h cruise usually sees 4-5.5lt - when the dpf is doing its thing this raises to 14-15 with out hardly touching the throttle.
It would seem the manuals are getting the economy where the autos are struggling? Hopefully Toyota might have an update soon?? I had a 2013 SR5 v6 manual which on avg used 11.5, I bought the diesel thinking it would lower my consumption down a bit - how wrong I was!!

Switched over to the selective gearing side only to have the car decide to change its own gears back to 5th.. Pointless having a selective gearing if the car just changes its own gearing anyway.
Not wrapt with my decision to go auto.. Wish I had enough got a manual..

Got to a servo by 850km and still only managed a 65L fill. This is only my 2nd refill so I'm going to drive till the fuel gauge is closer to the Empty line next time like my 07 hilux and see how I go.
