But i am quite peeved at the fact that i cant get decent fuel economy out of it. Hi, 3 months ago i purchased a 2009 Dual Cab Hilux with 17800kms on the clock thinking that it would be a step forward in the way of fuel economy and practicality (previous car was a VY SS Ute). The issue is that at the very least, it is a consistent method of comparison between the two vehicles over time as well as how my vehicle's performance is changing over time.ĭennis La Varenne Edited Octoby Dennis La Varenne Whether my method of calculation is the most efficient, reliable or correct is not the issue. Whilst this figure is perhaps a bit optimistic, I do consider that my brand new vehicle should be doing at least as well as my old vehicle which had nearly 200,000km on a rebuilt motor, and which, right from the time of the rebuild obtained almost the same consumption figure by my method of calculation. I mentioned the Hilux brochure stats and he simply said flat out that it wouldn't happen, ie 8.3 l/100km. Quite frankly, when I spoke to my local Toyota dealer on the occasion of a recent recall to do with the tail shaft, I did discuss my concerns with the fuel consumption. That was why it was invented, and usually, in passenger vehicles, it certainly is. The whole principle of the common rail injections system is that it is a much more efficient fuel delivery system. My conclusion is that there is something very wrong with the way in which my vehicle pumps fuel to the injectors. I drive conservatively which annoys my mates. Both my last Hilux and the present one have had aftermarket cruise controls fitted and used whenever I have a steady run on open highways. Fuel consumption is my chief concern when assessing a vehicle suitable for my needs. I bought the KUN 26R on the basis that Toyota rated its fuel consumption at 8.3 l/100km. Since October 2009 my fuel consumption has remained in the vicinity of a low of 10.2 l/100km (9.7km/litrre) to a best of 11 l/100km (9.11km/litre) which I regard a very poor when compared to my old 2.8 3L single cab ute with the same accessories which I rarely ran at less than 9 l/100km. I have the following aftermarket add-ons - ARB bullbar, LRT replacing the standard tank, canopy on the standard tray, light tow bar, and snorkel. I usually use the same service station and the same bowser to keep things as consistent as possible. My method of keeping tabs on my fuel consumption is to fill the tank to exactly the same visible place in the fuel tank filler pipe (as I have done with all my vehicles) and then calculating fuel used between fills. Every day I drive it, I log the kms travelled as well as anything notable about its performance or anything else which needs any kind of attention. I keep a pretty strict log book of the car's fuel performance as I have done with every vehicle I have owned since 1972.
#TOYOTA 3L ENGINE FUEL CONSUMPTION MANUAL#
I am a just-joined member to this forum and I am having the same concern with my October 2009 SR5 D4D manual single cab ute which has 16563 km on the clock. My first chat with the dealer was that the mileage will improve with kms, but things have stabilised since about 2,000 kms. I have heard that the mileage improves as the engine wears-in, but not sure how many kms, or extent of improvement. I drive very conservatively, as I am keen to monitor fuel consumption. I have steel tray, and bull bar, which would have some effect, but not much. What is your fuel economy? I have a SR Diesel manual (less than 5,000km) and I am only getting ~9 km/liter (or 11.1 l/100km). Either toyota have got there sums very wrong or they are deliberately misleading anyone that buys an SR manual! That's why I want to get more figures to find out what the real story on fuel consumption is. But in reality the manual uses about 50% more fuel. In all of the toyota specs and advertising they are supposed to be the same. As the problem is intermittent I'm still waiting to see the outcome of this fix.īut with the fuel economy there seems to be a big difference between the SR5 auto and the SR manual. About 40 times, they have replaced the injector pump, still stopped and just recently the fuel rail about two weeks ago. I know you must need it everyday for work, but if it's going into limp mode for no reason at all, there must be some sort of fault with the ecu, the same fault can also be the cause of excessive fuel consumption, so I would take it back to the dealer to be rectified. How old is the Hilux? Still under warranty?
