Well,...
You CAN use that as a guide. Just have to use some maths.
Convert imperial gallons to US gallons.
Well,...
You can - provided you convert - but so many are not and spinning a number
From the beginning of this odyssey, I figured I'd be OK if it could match my Land Cruiser 200 milage.
I drove a buddy's LC200 earlier this year and was surprised by how poor it's fuel economy is, given that it is the same 5.7 in the Tundra (yet matched to the 8spd instead of the 6spd)... My Tundra got 14-15MPG after being lifted, 35s, and 1000lbs of stuff thrown onto it, and yet my friend's 200 got right at 14 with just a few hundred lbs of stuff added and stock tire size
Try an 80-series! I was getting single digits around town!
Only time the Tundra got single digits was 80-85MPH cruise, with the ATOverland Atlas, 35s, etc, and a 30+ mph cross/headwind... Then we were averaging ~8.5mpg instead of the usual 12-ish
That would be great news!
The most my 200 says is 11.8mpg. But it's lifted 3", on 34's, with a swing out bumper, Gobi rack, and a 40gal LRA fuel tank.
Greg said similar when we spoke in LA. What are the actual window sticker EPA numbers?
I have the LRA 12.5 because I didn't want a swing-out. Best mod ever!
I was hoping someone has. They’re mandatory here, right? I’ve never bought a European vehicle, but my Hondas came with them.
What tires and extra gear were you running? I average 12.8 mpg (13.44 mpg correcting for 5% taller tires) over 45k + miles with 285/75/LT16 KO2s, 2” OME lift, ARB front bumper and full length roof rack. Probably 5k miles of that I had an ARB RTT on the rack.
The Monroney Sticker is required by federal law, for all new vehicles retailed in USA!
1992 all stock.
Nice! Looks clean. I like the Defender in the background too.
