derbylad1 293 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 i've a daihatu sportrak 1.6 petrol, brilliant on fuel and could handle the field very well. also had a defenders, L200 (worse one on fuel by far) and a vitara (also very good on fuel). Got a fourtrak at the moment, only just got it and its not my main car so waiting to see what its like to be honest. been told they're a bit juicy, but it wont be used that often to worry too much.

intersol 0 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have a L200 '03' miles to the gallon, about 28/30 not bad, kept well serviced. When you think of the weight of the truck the mpg not bad, I agree with Neil82 '4x4 and good fuel consumption don`t go together'. I think the l200 is a great 4x4. But I own one so will say that mate. It depends what you want a 4x4 for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
derbylad1 293 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 i thought the L200 was shit on the field. too long, too heavy and a turning circle of an aircraft carrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fisheruk 1 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I win on shite mileage. I get 15 mpg or 20 on the motorway driving like a granny with a 4.6 litre V8 but it's nice to drive. Really - is that really driving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point I don't drive it like that all the time and treat my self to a blast every now and then but if your foot heavy on the short journeys it just murders fuel consumption and I've had it as low as 13 mpg which is something like 280 miles to a tank which costs 120 odd quid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

intersol 0 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 i thought the L200 was shit on the field. too long, too heavy and a turning circle of an aircraft carrier. got a point about turning circle, but this can be adjusted, simple job. Driving in the field, got to be the driver's skill there mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CorkyJohn 808 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Grand Vitara 2000td, 35mpg putting my toe down round the doors, good off road once modded & comfortable. It never ceases to amaze me how many folk who drive the big 4x4s get 25mpg.....wishful thinking maybe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
