    Im using around 11.5-12 Litres per 100 kilometres, im not sure how that works out in MPG.

    Diesel is about 10litres per 100 kilometres, but very gutless and boring compared to the V6. Its only a small 4cyl 3 Litre motor.

    10 liters = 2.64 gallons. 100 kilometers = 61 miles. So 23 mpg.

    Toyota also rates it as using less fuel then the naturally aspirated V6 4L and having owned both, this one does actually use less.. they where right for once.

    Do you guys have any Diesel Tacoma's down there or are they priced out of the market? Do you have meets like we do here? Very interested in a Hilux diesel here in the states if they will ever come but would like to hear your comments on them and why you like or dislike them.

    YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC LOOKING TRUCK.....What size engine is it and what speed do you normally cruise? Do you use it for work or is this your toy for everyday commutes.....:confused:
