What is the highway fuel consumption of the Prado 2.7?
2 Answers
Comprehensive fuel consumption is around 13.8L/100km. Actual comprehensive fuel consumption is related to multiple factors such as load, road conditions, driving habits, weather, wind speed, tire pressure, etc. Actual comprehensive fuel consumption should be based on real driving conditions. Below is more information about vehicle fuel consumption: Introduction: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated by specifying the speed to obtain the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. Relationship between fuel consumption and displacement: A larger cylinder volume can accommodate more combustible mixture (air-fuel), so under all other conditions being equal, an engine with a larger cylinder volume (displacement) will definitely have better/higher power/fuel consumption.
I often drive the Prado 2.7 on the highway. The car's power is decent, but fuel consumption really depends on driving habits. If you maintain a speed of 90-100 km/h on the highway, the fuel consumption is generally around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. If you drive faster at 120 km/h, it can spike to over 11 liters. I've tested it several times—turning on the AC or loading up the trunk adds another 0.5 liters to the consumption. Some fuel-saving tips include using cruise control, regularly checking tire pressure to avoid it being too low, and avoiding aggressive acceleration. Safety first—higher speeds not only increase danger but also fuel consumption. Also, keep up with maintenance; using good engine oil can slightly improve efficiency. For long trips, it's best to plan fuel costs in advance to avoid the hassle of searching for gas stations midway.
