Distance To Empty(dte)/fuel Tank Capacity(ftc) LAGOS - ABUJA by FEGEITOK: 12:17am On May 25, 2017
Can a full fuel tank of a Toyota Sienna 2004 - 2010 take it from Lagos to Abuja?

If no, how much did you have to top it up to take you there?

Tank capacity of a Toyota Sienna 2003 - 2010 is 20.9 US Gallons (79.11511 Liters )

@ N145 That's N11,600.00

A transporter said that he spends N18,000.00 on fuel per trip, that is 124Liters is that normal?

440 miles is = 708.11136 kilometers

Lagos is about 750km or 466miles

What's the DTE (Distance to Empty) aka FTC (Fuel Tank Capacity) of your ride?

According to siennachat forum:


When I take a long trip (seems like all the time) and need to make it nonstop I fill up to the cap. An hour to an hour and half later the fuel gauge will move off Full. This guarantees a 440 mile range for the tank at 85-90mph. DTE will read 0 and fuel fill will be 19.7 gallons. average fuel economy 18.7 mpg (display) with 93 octane fuel on these runs. 2 full coolers on hitch mounted cargo carrier, 2 adults, 4 big volleyball players with all their luggage.

Thanks nurey for the correction from 2003 to 2004

I think you mean 2004 to 2010,2003 sienna is still a first generation design.

You can't compare the fuel economy of a full loaded sienna to just the driver alone as the transporters are pulling more weight so they will use more fuel than a personal sienna with just driver.

Also the XL/100km manufacturer rating should give an idea of what DTE to expect. But Nigerian roads are different I have burned about 20L for just 7km in Apapa on a very bad day so our roads don't always follow the rule of thumb
