My UZ83's Fuel Ecconomy

[The Witzl]

yeah maybe i shouldve qualified the economy of the UZS131 by saying it weighs in at 1850kg WITHOUT a driver.

[CrUZida]

The Celsior would roughly be the same weight, and city driving easily nets 14L/100km.

[TheStitt]

yeah I get 13ish litre per 100km around town, but it worse now that I work closer to home

12l/100 on the open road.

63 litres gets me around the 480-500km mark

550ish on a trip

Hey mate,

Must be something wrong with it. I used to get 420 on e10 and 450 on pulp. It used to change gears at 6000.

Yep, Spark Plugs were seriously worn.

But still sucking fuel.

Doesnt sound right to me. my mates uzz30 soarer gets 500kms+ off a tank consistently..

dont soarers have a epic huge fuel tank?

[Aust162]

I'm getting around 350 to a tank or premium.

.

dont soarers have a epic huge fuel tank?

Im referring to the original post ^ . And im pretty sure they do have massive tanks, like 70-75litres? (never owned a soarer)

Damm this thread is O.G!

Ok so to update this.....Still having a problem..

I test the water temp sensor and its within toyota spec however the outside casing(where the plug clips to) is a bit loose. Will replace along with a full service and will update

Seriously Cuzzo replace the sensor, JoJo mentioned the same fuel economy problem in the Celsior dedicated thread. Replaced the Temp sensor, and all was returned to normal. I had the same problem, and the sensor replacement fixed it, used 40 litres to get from Canberra to Dubbo after.

Did you find the cause of the weird limiter thing?

[NeoNasty]

dont soarers have a epic huge fuel tank?

yyaarrrr. We haz 80 Liters to da tank. So not huge.

[Cuzzo]

Just to update guys.

Found a larger restriction with the small air filter that was on it. I put a large (pod) airfilter on it and it revs hard now, all the way to redline and changes good.

Economy is still a bit average. I replaced the water temp sensor, full service including auto and diff. Seems to be going alot better now. Dont know economy cause the speedo stopped working...

Not one thing its another!

Then you'll have a sweet light saying TURBO too, so you can dream of really having a 1J

[Bronald McDonald]

Best part is that if you do get that, your fuel gauge will read full all the time
