What is the normal fuel consumption of the Toyota FJ Cruiser?
2 Answers
FJ Cruiser's fuel consumption is 11.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Correct fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ Distance traveled × 100 = Fuel consumption per 100 km. The data on fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain. Generally, a full tank is used as the initial data. After driving a certain distance, the tank is refilled to full again, and the fuel amount provided by the gas station is taken as the final data. Fuel-saving tips: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear and gently press the accelerator to gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Starting by gently pressing the accelerator can shorten the engine's warm-up time and effectively improve fuel utilization, thereby achieving fuel-saving effects.
When I drove my FJ Cruiser on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet route, I paid special attention to fuel consumption. With its 4.0L naturally aspirated engine and boxy design, this car isn’t exactly fuel-efficient. Highway cruising could be controlled at around 12L/100km, but on high-altitude uphill sections, it would spike to 18L. In city traffic with the AC on, it usually hovered between 16-18L. I remember once during a team expedition through Alxa, in full-time low-range 4WD mode, the fuel gauge showed a staggering 22L. Veteran drivers advise keeping an eye on the fuel cap—the 60L tank’s range can be nerve-wracking, especially for those who’ve upgraded to AT tires and roof racks. Better be mentally prepared.
