    Hi Guys,
    First post so I hope i'm on the right thread for the question i'm about to ask? I picked up my 150 diesel auto in December went straight to my friendly Bridgestone dealer and fitted 265/70/17 Micky Thompson Baga Mtz's, love the tyres. But my indash fuel reading doesn't go under 12klms per 100. Can anyone tell me if it because it's because the tyres are larger than STD and the calabration is out or something different. All you guys seem to be getting way better fuel ecomomy than what i'm getting. Need some ammo before I go back to Toyota on my 10K service.
    Cheers
    James

      I had my fuel low light come on and then did another 80km. Ended up putting in 140L, that is filling it right up to max.

      Put what is annoying is the inaccuracy of the fuel meter/ trip meter. On the way back from Melbourne averaged 9l/100km exactly, nice easy hwy cruising.
      With the odometer indicating 304km I made a point of filling up so get a reading of exact fuel consumption. It took 31.5ltr not 27ltr as it should have. That is crap its out by 17%.

      I would rather it erred on the high than out by this much on the low side, has anyone got as bad a discrepancy, of real vs measured fuel consumption.
      stepped up the a 200 LC for towing,
      but had a 2012 and 2010 150 Prado GXL auto diesel in Graphite with Bridgestone D697 A/T. Dobinson C59-300/325 and Bilsteins. Accessories : two baby seats.

        Have done 40,000kms and I find the Toyota fuel economy meter to be way out (indicated 8.4 but calculated 9.6) which makes you feel good. I found the ScanGauge III gives me the correct calculations and when I refuel the car it is within half a litres. The first few refills were out but you put in a correction when you refuel the vehicle so by the third refuel it is very accurate.

        The speedometer is now accurate (fitted BFG 265/70/17 not standard 265/65/17) but the odometer is way out (travel 5.0kms, reads 4.2kms). They may use the same pickup point but use different displays.
