My advice to you is use cruise control when the road is flat, but when you're going down hill cancel it, push onto the accelerator gently to gain momentum (when you're almost downhill your speed will be around 120/130 km/hr) for the uphill. As you are going uphill depending on the slope you can let the car slow down (ease on the accelerator). By the time you've hit the top of the hill you're at lets say 90-100 km/h. It needs practice and different approach depending on the the gradient of the slope. I get 12.5 liters/ 100km on my 4.7 liter land cruiser (average speed of 110km/hr) with 558000 kilometers on the odometer.
That's amazing.. I have a smaller Toyota prado with a 2. 7 litre petrol engine inline 4....uses 6 kilometers per liter.. Could there be something wrong with it?
Yep! I have a 03 LX470 with bull bar, winch, bigger tires, roof rack etc. Here in America it's like 10 Mpg city and maybe 12 Mpg HWY doing 65 mph flat road. Loving it!
Woooow very impressive,i have always driven the 100 series 4.7 litre petrols engines gently, give you that smooth power delivery with good efficiency if u put the car weight in consideration .....brilliant car,its an all great Legendary car for me....
Wow this is impressive, that is significantly less than factory estimate! I am tempted to get an almost identical one soon. If you’re ever back near Germany we should go for a cruise!
Thanks so much! In Viet nam, Land cruiser 100 with 4500 litre engine and manual transmission comsumtion about over 13 litter. So i think V8 4.7 is the best engine
my 2006, with highway tires, has averaged up to 21mpg highway (11.2l/100km). the 2006-07 models arguably have the best for petrol engines (we don't have diesel models in US), as they are equipped with 5-speed and the vvti engine control. just a heads up though - best fuel economy involves cruising at 55-60mph, ideally on flat highway.
If you are buying a 100 Series petrol, you shouldn't be worried about the fuel economy. I have a 2006 Toyota Sahara with a HTV1900 Supercharger, bullet ultimate exhaust, unichip ECU, front steel bar, dual rear wheel carrier, and 185L sub tank running 32" mud terrain tires. The fuel economy on the highway when really trying to take it easy (average RPM around 1900) is at best 16L per 100KM (basically stay below 95 KM/H on the highway). In the city, taking it easy the best I've ever got is 22L per 100KM. The supercharger significantly improved fuel economy while towing from around 28L per 100KM down to about 22 on the highway. The mud tires really impact the fuel economy, even when I run them at 65 PSI as compared to all terrain tires.
Are you serious? I would imagine you’d be getting at least 50% better mpgs than the gasser. Is you’re built up with lots of armor making it very heavy?
Nice Video!👍 This is a way to buy a good cheap LandCruiser100( V8 4.7L) and convert to gas to achieve a fuel economy(11.5 L per 100km on highway) Diesel LandCruiser100 series cost twice the price of V8 4.7L...
NICE VIDEO! 10.7L/100km at 100 km/h in my Lexus LX570 5.7 petrol. (I do live in a high altitude part of the US) My previous rig was Lexus GX470 (Same engine as your LC but lighter) which managed 9.8L/100km @ 100km/h
Thanks, Joshua! Never would have thought that the Lexus LX570 could do less than 12 l/100km even downhill. By the way in my part of the world it is often sold with an extended fuel capacity of 140 litres as an option.
@@MishaKhrushch one must drive with a very light foot in the 570 to get good mileage. It's easy to cruise much faster with a commensurate decrease in fuel mileage lol!
Impressive! There aren't many cars that use less fuel than the official figure, especially older ones. Do you have the figures for the urban i.e. around town use too? I know they will be higher but maybe it isn't as bad as I'm expecting... I have been looking at a 2003 model that is for sale locally but the official figure is 20.9 litres per hundred which is a bit scary.
I’ve started to slipstream big HGV’s when I’m doing serious motorway mileage and the resulting increase in MPG has been nothing short of amazing. Also having converted my LC 100 4.7 V8 to run on LPG autogas which has also contributed to my piggy bank.
True consumption can be measured only by filling that tank at 100km. But if we take in consdieration that max10% fault reading that is still great economy. Just a question, what to watch when buying one LC 100 4.7. Is there any tips to help me buy one? I just saw one pretty cheap with 460.000km looks in great condition.Thanks for help.
Rust, rust, rust. Check for rust. Rust kills them. Apart from that, they just need to have been serviced at regular intervals. 99% fail due to rust or someone not changing the oil for 50km. The hydraulic suspension system can crap out but that's nearly always due to the combination of rust and poor maintenance.

Sure, makes sense. But I'm actually going the other way - already uninstalled 3rd row seats (never used them) and a spare tire shedding the cars weight by approximately 50 kilos. No effect on observed fuel economy though))

That's excellent and infact validates my 2002 4.2 diesel Land cruiser 100 series... I get 9.1 liter/100km on Hungarian highway
Are you serious? I would imagine you’d be getting at least 50% better mpgs than the gasser. Is you’re built up with lots of armor making it very heavy?
Is yours with the 4 or 5 speed gearbox?
9 litres per 100 km is excellent for a car that size. That is why the 4.2 Toyota diesel is legendary here in Australia!!!!
Did anyone else notice that he ONLY had 234km of RANGE left? Trip computer may be "on the fritz".

Fuel consumption for highway driving is based on a speed of 120 km/ hour

Yeah it is about 20/100km, not bad for a large SUV with a V8
20.9 sounds like that is a combined around town and highway driving as my 2003 V8 uses around 14.5/15 litres per 100km on the highway
I love Europeans, lol. "A massive 4.7L V8." I can't believe I'm saying this, and I'm not even American.😂 But a 4.7 is still a baby V8 😅

Are the airbags still active after all those years?
That is always a gamble the older a vehicle gets, some suggest replacing airbags on older cars

Hey, don’t blame the 100 for your lack of world military/oil industry domination.
I got 10.1L/100km once on my 4runner 06 with a 4.7 v8 after a tune up

Cool video, try 90kmh, this car has a huge frontal area! I predict 10L/100KM at that speed, or even better! :)
I don't think that's a very accurate way to measure fuel economy. Also tires plays a potential huge role in that.
