Sir Nurey, I think you made a mistake with the km... 100miles=160km..
75L(tank Capacity)/16L X 160km= 750km.

nurey:
The Highlander has approximately 75L while sienna has 79L

for the 1mz we have
2wd V6 17mpg city and 21mpg highway

4wd V6 16mpg city and 21mpg highway

both have a combined of 18mpg as fuel economy.

let's convert 18mpg to L/100km = 13L/100km

so your vehicle is doing 13L per 100km now to mathematics

75L(tank capacity) / 13L X 100km = 576.xxkm let's say 577km. when your needle would be on red E mark. so half tank should be around 280km.

What's the reason for the difference in mpg between the Highlander and the sienna?
I will be back to trash this one out.

continued
The sienna is 100kg heavier than the Highlander so in retrospect the Highlander should be fuel efficient than the sienna but for Toyota it's always upside down just like the 3.5L 2gr sienna is fuel efficient than the 3.3L 3MZ which is better than the 3.0L 1MZ.

sienna 97-00 1mz 19mpg 198hp

sienna 01-03 1mz vvti 21mpg 210hp

Highlander 1mz vvti 18mpg 220hp

Lexus Rx300 1mz vvti 18mpg 220hp

Toyota harrier 1mz 17mpg 210hp

My final ascertion to the discrepancy in fuel economy amongst Toyota vehicles using same engine but different weight is probably to get more power from the Engine you have to sacrifice a little fuel economy. That's the only reason I can deduce from the setup, though I am not saying I am 100% right.

if fuel is ur issue

buy a kia Rio like mine and use...I do not know maths,but I use 10 litres for 160km journey

if kia is not reliable, buy a yaris

if u use a v6 and fuel is what u r carrying calculator up and down for,my brothers and sisters,u r not ready

when I use my v6 car I dont look at the fuel gauge hence I give myself hypertension

I'm eyeing the 03-05 4runner v8 as I dey...its not about the car,its about who's driving it

ojeysky:
For me, fuel is not the main focus but if a vehicle is consuming more fuel than normal, it could have other implications to the engine and other components in the long run. So when I asked, it was not mainly for the fuel but to confirm normalcy of car operation and performance.

I hope that helps.

dejidotun2000:

A few questions sir :

1- Did you achieve that with or without AC
2- 1.4l/1.6l? , manual/auto?
3- highway/city/mixed?

Thanks.

diportivo:



with/without ac

1.4 manual

highway only

As a clown that I am, I will just leave this here so I don't "misread" any other thing

Smartchoiice:

Brotherly..... what are you doing on the highway with that cricket?

Anyway how much does it cost?

diportivo:



iv not had a better travel partner since iv been driving

ojeysky:

Just for anyone who cares, my absorber was due for replacement, I did and have noticed better mileage since then (over 320 miles on full tank)

9icetoo:

Was this highway driving or city driving?

ojeysky:


Highway my city driving is around 250/270miles

ojeysky:


Highway my city driving is around 250/270miles

Smartchoiice:

My V6 E320 2001 does far better

9icetoo:

That is a saloon and not an SUV or a minivan. These two weigh considerably more than your v6 e 320. Again, your e320 has a smaller displacement even though it is a V6.
Those two factors are in favour of the V6 e320.
Fuel economy can never be the same based on the two factors above.

Smartchoiice:

You're wrong difference less than 50lbs

Hello gurus in the house I need your view, I have a Camry 2003 am not sure if it consumes fuel. I buy 5k fuel and use for a week from Sobo egbeda to opebi ikeja. What do u think, does the car consume fuel

nurey:


Fuel consumption isn't calculated that way either buy full tank and reset trip meter A to zero then drive and when the indicator reaches half use the number of km traveled against the number of liters expected in half tank

cokegee:
That is a cool idea what about when am in traffic
