Does the turbo drink as much as the 8? counting down the sleeps till the release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T was averageing 13-13.5't/100 and the GT 13.5-14 so not much in it. If you were driving hard the 6 may drink more but l dont think fuel consumption should be used to sway your decision either way, there isn't much in it.

Calmed down a little now, 13.4 - 13.5 is the average.Yeah, I'd say not much in it at all. XR8 owners I know, they average about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tav Member 65 Member For: 20y 6m 16d Posted 27/08/05 08:46 AM Share Posted 27/08/05 08:46 AM How much difference do you think there would be in fuel consumption on these 3 cars.Toyota Hilux 2x4 2.7LAU 4.0LBA 4.0LI need to get a ute for work and don't want to spend more than $20,000. I was just going to get a Hilux but the prices are still fairly high on a 2nd one ($15-18 for a good one). For under $20,000 you can get a really good AU XLS or maybe a XR6 for that or a base BA. These are obviously a better car to drive and have a great interior but the engine is twice as big. I just want to drive to work and back and put a bike in the back occasionally. Hilux's hold there value really well too where Falcons are not so good at that. I suppose that when you buy one under $20,000 it is the other person who lost the most so it isn't that bad I guess.Which would you all get? (Please no anti hilux posts. They are good cars for what they are) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
