Thread: Y62 patrol

Great write up..

Check that average though against real data.

Usually the average is over a set time or distance and isn’t the total travelled since last reset.

If that’s correct you should have fed about 880 litres into it... does that seem correct?

So now all we are waiting for is for someone like Millen, Nismo, or Harrop to develop the supercharger kit.. with H2O or methanol injection and intercooling you could be looking at a lazy 600hp. What a sleeper..🤔😎😎🤗

Mate i havent actually tallied up all receipts at the pump yet but i was keeping note on the trip computer of kms travlled to liters filled at the pump and noticed that on the hwy i was around 10-11ltrs per 100km.
The exact fuel figure use would be somewhere around the 880 you've calculated id imagine.

In saying all of this the car is easily capable of drinking 25+ if you drive it like a thief. I think this is why they get such a bad wrap on economy. The people reviewing them love hearing the big v8 sing and as a result report high fuel use cause they're constantly hard on the go fast pedal. Living with it however leads to a more realistic fuel use figure.

I have 300tdi Defender, my wife has a 200 series petrol, we just drive it, having a 3t V8 and worrying about fuel economy doesn't quite make sense to me... and life is to short not to listen to that exhaust growl... Besides a 300tdi 3t Camel towing a 1.5t camper uses far more fuel @ 80km/h into a headwind across the Nullabor in 4th...

Mind you we get great fuel economy as they are both parked up whilst we are in Madagascar, but not for much longer...

Might be time for Y62 upgrade though.

Your spot on when you say that complaining about economy when u own a 3 ton bus is ridiculous. What everyone seems to forget is that in its category (large capable family bus) it is by far and away the best value for money. There are really only 3 vehciles in the same category in my opinion and the other 2 options are too expensive and overpriced. 1; the LC 200 which is a outdated vehicle and 2; the range rover which isnt my idea of value for money in any way shape or form. I considered a lot of smaller suvs but the mrs loved the Patrol.

The worst thing about the Patrol is the stupid rear lights which i just sorted. Looks quiet good now i think.

Many new Toyota’s on the market are well outdated.

There is one model run that has AC is an optional extra,and there is another with a dinasour 4 speed auto......

Here you go....
