Hi All
Over the last 2 re fills my diesel fuel economy has gone south, in a bad way. I averaged around 1100kms on a 125L refill however I am now lucky to get 800km's from the same amount of fuel. I have changed fuels to BP in the last 2 fills as we have moved house. I put the first bad tank down to very short trips and many of them when we moved house 3 weeks ago but I refilled last week and now just on half a tank used with 367kms travelled. This has only happened in the last 4 weeks or 2 re fills, prior to that all good.
My Prado is not stock standard but I find this to be terrible fuel economy in a very short period of time. I have checked the usuals, air filter, its not blowing smoke, oil levels fine, no leaks etc. Tire pressures are spot on at 40PSI.
I have no idea, going to book it in to Toyota tomorrow for them to have a look at as I am not impressed with this economy at all.
If anyone has any ideas on what it could be it would be apprecaited. I have searched to see if anyone else has exprienced a similar issue.
Cheers Daniel.
