Land cruiser 80/100 Series Fuel Economy
« on: February 04, 2014, 11:28:31 AM »
G'day

I'm interested on real word fuel figures for the 4.5l petrol.

I'm aware of different driving styles, accessories, etc; just after actual fuel figures from actual owners.

Thanks in advance.

Around town I have never bothered to check.

Average 20-21 around town.
20 on a trip with trailer as well. Although that is keeping the RPM at 2200 or below, average about 96-98kph. Any more and its 23 plus.

1994 Landcruiser RV80 4.5 ltr petrol 80 Series owned since new.  Total Kms 209780.  Total fuel used 34,730 lts.  Overall fuel consumption 6.04 km/ltr, or 17.03 mpg, or 16.55 ltr/100km.  Best fuel economy was 7.28 km/ltr, 20.53 mpg or 13.7 lt/100km.

On average I plan 16.7 lt/100km or 6 km/ltr, giving me a 800km range with 13 litres spare.  Towing the camper on a 3500km trip averaged 18.9 lt/100km.

I have only put 1 tank in Frank so far, it returned 18L/100. that was all local surbuban driving and plenty of hours idling as I was doing plenty of maintenance. I got to 500klm out of the main tank, before going to the sub

Mine is somewhere between 16 and 18 l per 100klm and about 24l per 100klm with the Goldstream on and fully loaded with roofrack and cargo on top.  Now the other story is about 30+ L fully loaded with the goldy on when using LPG, but when calculated over a long trip its not a great deal especially when the Cruiser will pull anything with ease and go just about anywhere you want it to.  Certainly the consumption is not enough to consider trading it and laying out thousands for a more inferior vehicle that doesnt do what the cruiser dose with easy, its also a great vehicle to drive long distances.

Im happy with it

Hi

We had a 100series 4.5l 5 sp manual.

Averaged 16lphk on the highway and 18lphk around town (hobart and surrounds).

We used to tow an off road buggy on a tandem car trailer and though it used more fuel it was not horrendous.  What I did love about it was the power - we could overtake with the trailer whenever we would have without it.

Highly recommended.

Sounds about right.  We used to get 500 from the main and 300 from the second.

Far from it.  Just trying to provide info in all formats. Had the figures for tax purposes originally. I normally just use 6km/lt.  Easy - number of litres x 6 = distance in kms rather than number of litres divided by litres/100km times 100 to get distance.

Never could use litres/100km when changing to metric from mpg.  Do not know why we changed from a system of distance per volume (miles per gallon or km per litre) to volume per 100 units of distance - whoever thought of lt/100km is probably in a round padded room now.

Thanks Chook
I thought I was the only person who thought along this line & I can't believe how many people go "Huh" when I use the K's per Litre formula.

What fuel economy ;D mine runs between 25 and 30, rain hail or shine.
From what I can see the manuals are a lot more economical than auto's, obviously due to the excessive converter slip. Interesting to hear how brettb goes with the lock up switch he just fitted :cheers:
