Hi all
I've recently brought myself a Toyota Landcruiser 96 GXL and I'm getting around 20 litres per 100 clicks. Is the excessive or about par? Any tips on how to better this?

Lance,
I'm guessing it's a petrol - probably and auto as well. Par for the course mate. Good friend of mine at the 100 series GLX and when we took it off road I had to carry spare fuel for him.
You didn't say whether that was around town or highway driving.
Best best - is to buy a Landrover
Bugman
'76 series 3 long wheel base LandRover wagon 2.25L 4 cyl petrol engine -
opening speedo 27023 closing 28683
fuel 62.59l + 11.26l + 118.25l + 25.86l
that is 13.13l /100km
that big fuel up was when she was travelling the sand on north straddie with the twin tanks full family & gear for a couple of days as well - & just to make you feel crook - I ruptured an emmission valve whilst over there & ran on 3 cylinders due to oil fouling of a plug for a day. So the economy will be better than that - I've just put in a new distributor & leads. #
I may never travel at 120km/hr but OH WHAT A FEELING !! hey brett.

My 6.5 diesel Chev gets 20 lt to the hundred around town. I would expect better from your gxl. I try not to worry too much about the consumption myself as the veh suits my needs. Your driving habits will certainly effect your consumption. If you can resist the urge to plant the foot at the lights and sit on 100k's on the road then you will get a good mileage. I can't so I don't worry too much about it. I would never drive a series three anywhere that required going further than 100 k's awayYes I know, I'm going to cop it
You think that's bad. I've got a Ford maverick petrol, around town it gets 30l / 100 km. Very thirsty .
TDI defender wagon - 9L/100kms, and aerodynamics of a fridge on wheels.
Yeah the petrol cruisers love the fuel.
Invest in a long hose and keep it plugged into the bowser.
A diesel will return figures between 11 and 13 depending on how you drive and how much it is loaded.
Do yourself a favour and keep well away from the landrovers the repair bills will scare you, LOL.
Cheers Kev.

You have a point there Kev.

Suppose the money they save on fuel helps to pay for the repairs.
Must all balance out in the end.
Nah Buff when they buy them they just have to make sure they have two kidneys, so one can be sold to keep the Rover going. LOL
Appolagies for highjacking the thread Lance.
Nah thats fine! I like it when people put sh!t on Landrovers!
RAFLMAO at Lance.
