Just another update.
Caravan fully loaded about 2T plus car loaded. Bunbury return about 480km with a bit of travelling while not towing (60-100km). Tank was full at start. Returned home and tank still not half way about 65% full. Fuel trip meter on vehicle says 14.2km/h and scangauge is showing 11.7km/h. Either way pretty awesome consumption considering sitting on 100km/h in 4th.

What I noticed with the cars trip is that it seems to over estimate at the beginning of a tank especially if a different driving style is used from the norm ie towing. My consumption started at nearly 16l/100km and within 2 hrs had dropped to 14l/100km. I have been having to adjust the scangauge to get it the most accurate it can be and its usually pretty accurate. I am tempted today to refill to full just to see exactly what consumption I did actually get. If its around the 12's I will be extremely happy.

Thanks for the replies.
I only recently got my Prado and have been averaging 12.5/100Km (V6 petrol) mostly. I did ask the dealer to fill the tank as part of the sale so its probably 95/91.
Im going t fill up again with 98 and calculate the difference.
When i'm on cruise control is seems to drop a little bit, not that I'm heavy footed as I am conscious of the fuel economy. What is annoying is when its on cruise control i can see the what the cruise control is on the 'eco bar'. It would be good to see thatLast edited by StewyD32; 06-06-2017, 09:38 PM.

Just got back from 8000km trip - Perth to Alice via Great Central road then back across Nullarbor with side trips etc - so around half gravel half blacktop. Most gravel was high speed (80 - 100 km/hr), though had some 4WDing in there also. On the bitumen cruised at 100, mostly with cruise control on.
Car is manual and stock except Cooper ST Maxx tires. Was towing a 1200 kg camper trailer (Trak Shak). Roof rack was lightly loaded (awning, maxtracks and FC Holden front right fender on the return trip - long story). On the way back across the Nullarbor was banging into a strong head wind the whole way.
Using app on the phone tracked each fill. Averaged 15 L/100 km. Was surprised how inconsistent the consumption was - varied from 13 L/100 km to 17 L/100 km.
