What is the fuel consumption of the 4000 Prado?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Prado 4000 is 12.2L/100km. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Avoid using low-quality gasoline: The quality of gasoline directly affects fuel consumption. Low-quality gasoline can easily clog the fuel system, leading to incorrect air-fuel ratios, overly rich mixtures, and incomplete combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Therefore, whenever possible, choose reputable gas stations for refueling. 2. Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a significant factor. If there is a lot of carbon buildup in the engine, it is best to take the car to a 4S shop and have professional technicians clean the carbon deposits from the engine.
When I used to drive the Toyota Prado 4000, the fuel consumption averaged around 14 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and it could drop to 11-12 liters on the highway. There are many influencing factors, such as my usual smooth driving habits with less sudden acceleration and braking, which helps save some fuel. If frequently going off-road or carrying heavy loads, the fuel consumption could rise above 15 liters. I also found that tire pressure must be checked every two months and maintained at around 220 kPa, otherwise it would drag down fuel efficiency. The longer the air conditioning is on, the more fuel it consumes. Overall, it's not very fuel-efficient, but its off-road performance is outstanding, and I can accept the fuel cost for occasional long trips. I suggest new owners pay attention to maintenance and not just rely on data—actual usage is what matters.
