Re: Fuel Consumption V6 Engine
Scott I managed to get in the 10s on a very rare ocassion and it was like everything had to go your way. Filled up at a servo and hit the highway straight away and had a strong tail wind assisting me and there you have it I was doing 10s . Ofcourse that was only highway driving and going non stop,has soon as I got home and mixed it up a bit,it slowly climbed upwards. It can happen but it will be only on very rare occassions and under very perfect conditions like strong tail winds. But I would also agree that these V6's won't do 10s on every occassion it is just not possible and if it was I think MR Toyota would of made it happen. 8)2004 Grande V6 4.0L, Sovereign bar,Tow Pack,Hard Spare Wheel Cover,Rear Spoiler,Reverse parking sensors,Headlight & Bonnet Protectors,Pacemaker Headers,Safari snorkel,Stebel Nautilus Compact Truck Horn, Vapour Sequential Gas Injection , IPF 900 xs,Dual Battery ,radiator protection plate,K&N Airfilter,King Springs,GME TX3440,Waeco CF-60AC Verb,Reverse cameraComment

Re: Fuel Consumption V6 Engine
I have seen low to mid 12s out of mine but that was in utmost perfect conditions, everyday 13-15 is the norm and anywhere up into the mid 20s towing bike trailer. ( towing a car trailer in the Territory at their " special" speed limit does cause a very large thirst :shock: )Comment

Re: Fuel Consumption V6 Engine

Re: Fuel Consumption V6 Engine
Hang on a moment, where does Melbourne get it's gas from?Originally posted by Zapper
Here in westoz the gas comes ashore near Onslow, they pump the unrefined stuff into a truck that drives to Kwinana where they refine it and put it into another truck and take it back up North to where Stevo and his mates pay 99 cents a litre. It's in the 80's here in Kal and high 40's to 50 cents a litre in Perth.
They give it to the Chinese and Japs unrefined for around 2 cents a litre. The only trap is you have to sign up to buy a few billion dollars worth to get it at that price!!!Dave

Re: Fuel Consumption V6 Engine
thanks for that...I was hoping the prices would drop in Broome but its still 99 cents a litre..Diesel has dropped a bit..138.9 a litre
Was going to Trade My Dual Fuel Grande for a diesel but I still love the girl and I'm sure they would give me bugger all for it here in the land of Diesel
