If you read my last post, I addressed that.
It was done to meet emissions.
Find BSFC numbers and indirect injection engines always come out poorly. There has been no exception yet.

The figures I quoted are overall combined, averaged over thousands of km's use. Not the best acheived on a single highway trip.
Urban and offroad use will half your highway fuel economy.
IMO telling someone they'll get 30MPG (even UK gallons) in an 80 or 100 series landcruiser is BS. Sure you can get that if you want to cruise at 80km/h in a straight line for hours on end. But who does.
