Quite pleased!

[Apache]

Filled tank, did 296 miles. Mainly motorway, but with a bit of stop-start around southport. Still got 1/4 of a tank indicated.

Excellent fuel economy for such a heavy truck!

Mine did 370 miles to a tank with some still left on the way up from Camborne to Darlington. Steady 75mph indicated. I was very impressed.

Is that miles or kilometres?

I get around 330k from a tank, 60L.

Works out at about 15/16mpg.

[Surfer Ross]

Thats miles. I think the 3rd Gen tank is 70 or 75 litres. It works out at 28 mpg at 75mph which I think is about right.

Jeez I wish I was getting that.

Did you work out the miles yourself or go from the trip?

15-16!

I'm getting over 17 and up to 23 with a v8.

[Surfer Ross]

I filled up to the brim in Camborne which is 420 miles from my house, I drove at a steady 75mph indicated which is 70mph on the GPS. It took 60 litres to fill to the brim again just outside Leeds which is 50 miles from my house.

420 - 50 = 370miles

370 miles / 60 litres = 6.166 miles per litre

6.166 x 4.55 = 28.05 mpg


15/16 is very low even for a Surf. Mine manages that or better around town in 4WD with snow on the road.

The 1UZ-FE is a beautiful piece of engineering. I loved my LS400s, bet you can't stop smiling.

I was getting the same from my 2.4, but then I had to rag the £uck out of it to get anywhere. I've no need to drive the 3.0 like I did the 2.4 but I do drive it hard.

We managed 280 miles with about the same amount left, pulling the caravan in lashing rain, from Eastbourne to south wales.

Just got 605Km out of a full tank!! From just north of Aberdeen to Blackpool without a fuel stop and a few miles round the doors once I got there, that was almost overflowing to the light first coming on. Drove like a pussy, doubt it went over 2700RPM at any point and did not go over 75MPH sat at about 65 for most of the time. Came back today from Ulverston at 75 - 80 MPH all the way and I still have just under1/4 tank left, 526 KM. On a run I don't think it makes much difference if I sit at 65 or 80 MPH, if I push it above 85 however the economy plummets to stupid levels. Once had to get to Edinburgh from home ASAP and managed to nail a whole tank

I only ever get 300 miles to a full tank, but I do fill up as soon as light comes on, and re filling only 50-55 Ltrs meaning there is still at least 10ltrs left in. (3.0 Man 2nd Gen)

Thats 27mpg which is quite respectable for a 2nd Gen 3.0

There's my problem, anything under 85 feel like I'm parked.

Mind you, now the snow has cleared I'll be blowing the cobwebs off my 1100.
