ThanksTowering, I hope the economy improves with time, current tank 3/4 full is showing 15.1 on computer and Ive been keeping " a egg" between my foot and accelerator with reasonable long trips.

V8TD brochure says 10.3L, even on economy mode (light footed) can only get 15L, this is 50% more than Toyota say, what is everyone else getting. Sorry we only get the diesel in NZ but feel free to tell us about the petrol models. Toyota would'nt lie to us would they? Have only done 1100km but first tank only got 860kms from 138L diesel tank, was expecting 1200-1400kms. 10.3L with 650nm and 2.7 tonnes does seem optimistic, like the perpetual motion machine.

Have a 2 week old 200 TDV8 can with mainly rural driving can only get 15l/100, the 10.3 quoted is bull****, even 1 up at 80kmh can only get 13l/100km. But dont care, best car even owned, had 2 x 100 series TD as well, awesome power, build quality and only two issues for my NZ spec VX model, (which must be Aussie spec as has Aussie manual) No accessory power outlet in back and cant use the DVD / Sat Nav box to connect to TV tuner or Ipod, and dont buy black its a nightmare for showing dust and its big to clean. By the way $101k drive away NZ peso's for VX grade, every but no leather, KDSS and rear climate control, wasnt worth extra 15K
