Suprisingly so especially with the 2.92 rear diff.....i can cruise at 1800rpm Vol eff is up so as long as you aren't on the hammer economy is very good

yeah I think the brick shape of the crown is an issue, however it does rev quite high on the fwy. Might have something to do with the factory cruise and speed limit.

From factory the cruise doesn't work above 105kph and I think the car is speed limted to 115 not sure.

So with all that removed and my wheel size. I travel at 123 indicated at 117 so i think thats why i chew the 12l per 100km

hilux single cab, w58 box, 4.1 diff = 10l/100km at avg 120km/h

Ok so it looks like a manual 1UZ in an RT142 would be a pretty OK thing, I have fairly detailed pics of an 1UZ->RA65 conversion and it all looks fairly straightforward.

Are you fitting the 1uz for the power or novelty sake, if its the power fit a 1jz, you will get close on 200 rwkw @ 10 psi boost with bigger exhaust & intercooler & still get 10 litres per 100 km light traffic around town, including boosting it a bit during that time ... Thats what i get in my RT142 - 1jz ....

But certainly for novelty sake it sounds good to hear a V8 rumble coming out of a previous 4 cyl car ...

I have managed to return 11km/Litre (9L/100km) using Premium Unleaded, and driving at 100km/h in my UZS131, between Bendigo and Mildura. This was also using Cruise Control.

It's possible Premium Unleaded has a higher energy density than Regular Unleaded, but I would not be surprised if it used a noticeable amount of more fuel just by going an extra 15km/h faster. My dad's Triton (diesel) would return 11km/L at 100km/h and 8.5km/L at 110. I believe it is as you said: low gear ratios.

Cheers.

yeah mine did 10L per 100 driving home from victoria in the 100 zones, as soon as it was 110 and I started doing 115 it went to 12L
