10watt bulb 4 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 If your worried about mpg dont get a 4x4 toyota are the better vehicles IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bert the fert 28 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Not the case with my 4x4. It's a three litre diesel, and i'm a sympathetic driver but i still only get around 21mpg. Same here, only get 26mpg taking it steady in Mazda B Series, 2.5 diesel; get it up to 65 on the motorway and its like theres a hole in the fuel tank I don't mind 21 to the gallon too much. My last car was an evo that under spirited driving returned around 6mpg. And it would only run on V power fuel. 6mpg..... Had a scooby sti myself but never got near 6mpg and i wouldn't say i was light footed with it. I think you had a hole in your fuel tank............. The 6mpg was really down to the mods; pipe, fp green turbo, re map etc. coupled with hooning round Oulton Park on club days, y'know ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry FTB not hijacking the thread 403 BHP with 390lbs of torque. Great fun, but a recipe for bankruptcy once modding fever gets you. Apologies/ back on topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Aye Got a Pajero 2.8 and manage aroung 25 mpg, no more. The next motor will probably be an A4 4x4 diesel estate. (just sold a 340 bhp celica, personal best,,,3 mpg over a full tank and 67 miles, ha ha destroyed a set of tyres on that run as well) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
