    I’m going to keep an eye on mine and calculate it properly each time I fill up while I drive up to Otorohanga from Temuka and back. So far Temuka to Blenheim was 9.65L/100km using cruise control as much as possible. 2020 sr5 auto bullbar canopy snorkel ome suspension

    There’s an app/website called Fuelly that I use for tracking economy. Add details at each fuel-up and it tracks tank and overall economy. Think they try and sell you a ‘premium’ subscription, but you can do all you need on the basic free setup.

My dash reading has dropped over the week to 12.5L but obviously still quite a ways out as a few of you said it would be. Interesting

    When you are filling the tank, are you topping off so you can see the fuel in the filler neck? Or are you filling until the pump detects full and stops automatically?

    It varies depending on how bothered I can be lol. This time round I think I topped it up to visual so if I had stopped when it first popped then it would have been around 63 - 64L

    Cool. For an accurate measurement you need to be topping it up to the point at which you can see the fuel and it is not dropping down into the tank. Then reset your odometer. Then at the next fill you do exactly the same. Only then will you get an accurate fuel consumption calculation.

    With an OBD2 scanner like the Scangauge, to calibrate the fuel consumption you do the above three or four times, adjusting the scanner’s calculated consumption to the actual amount of fuel you put in the vehicle. Once it is calibrated it is incredibly accurate - I have 140L fuel tank on my Hilux and I have run it close to empty in outback conditions (>1200km) and the scanner has predicted the refill amount to the nearest litre. This gives you all sorts of useful range statistics.

    As we have discussed the actual fuel consumption as properly measured has always been less than on the dash display.

    Completely irrelevant for what you want to do but interesting nonetheless. Glad the situation appears to be as predicted.

    Though you could argue they are not purebred therefore classed a hybrid.

    Does anyone know what the optimum final drive gearing is for economy with a hilux ? What are the optimum revs for economy not for torque at 100km
    Would it be 18-1900 ?
