Gooday all, hope everyone has a good 2012, my first post
have just purchased this at auction for $24,000 it's a standard manual 94000k with wide sunraisyers and
snorkel, or
chimney as my daughter first said, ha ha
mainly be using it for beach work and towing the boat, highway use age 6kl per litre? seems a bit fierce, i'm not a rev head this is unladen sitting on 100k/h

Hi Joe,
I've had my 1HZ for about 5 years now (2003 LC100 GXL) and kept fuel consumption records the whole time. For the mileage your vehicle has done I was getting about 13L/100kms average (unladened). On trips fully loaded, it would get up to 15-16L/100 with the roof rack fully packed on-board.
Depending on what your towing, and assuming the consumption figure you've quoted is towing the boat, 16-17L/100kms is about right. If you're not towing, then it's a bit high. Have you got a roof rack permanently mounted on the vehicle? This can also affect fuel consumption by up to 5-10%.
Cheers
Rob K

Gooday Rob, thanks for your and everyone else's reply, unfortunately I was empty, nothing being towed, no roof rack, does have wide wheels and i know that will make a difference but sounds like i may have to get the injectors looked at. It actually sounds a bit noisey like a holed muffler or manifold leak although no ticks or obvious signs, will get it inspected, thanks again.
as far as the price goes it wont let me insure it for less then $32400 so i must have done something right!!, regards joe
