Fuelly - HiLex fuel Consumption

[Karma Supra]

Hi Folks,

I think this site has been mentioned before, but its a way of tracking mpg and all that, it's a bit geeky but I used to do it anyway...

Either way, lots of people ask me how thirsty my HiLex is... so I've set up a Fuelly profile for it..

Only one top up so far, mainly cruising at 80 (had a 300 mile round trip this week) with the odd full throttle burst (Because: V8 noises).

Either way, 21 MPG isn't bad! we'll see how it goes with more top ups, and town driving. -As a diesel I used to average 24 mpg.

Good site that, might try that myself.

Average 21mpg is not bad, though that's mostly motorway?

Drop your speed down to 65/70mph and that goes up to about 25+mpg,

at least that's my experience.

Its the round town stuff that eats the fuel, best I can get is 200km per

tank, it doesn't matter how I drive it, its always the same.

Be interesting to see if the vvti is any better round town, my v8 is a

96/97.

The vvti's are a few mpg better on fuel, the lexus I dropped off with Vince is a 94 and I couldn't get more than 18mpg out of it!
