Hi all,
So i recently purchased a 2014 Patrol Y62 Ti-L, completely understanding that fuel usage was going to be higher than your average 4x4, but going off figures others had stated on here and on various other forums I was under the impression it would be around the 15-20l per 100km.
Mine has been sitting around the 23-24l per 100km..
Now the car does have a few mods done, roofrack, bullbar, 2" lift, and all terrains (still 33"), and most of the driving it has done so far has been shorter trips which I know doesn't help.
Should I be happy with these figures? Or, is there something I should be checking that could be causing it to use excessive amounts of fuel.. Or would I be better off going down the path of an exhaust and tune to try and shave a few l/100 off??
(yes I know it's a petrol V8, I had done plenty of research before purchasing, just seems mine seems to be drinking a bit more juice than it should be)
thanks in advance.
