What?In fact, i highly doubt there is a 1HD 80 in existence that gets 25mpg
I get 30 without even trying, and it's hilly round here.

30 mpg is crazy! Very impressiveWhat?

Thanks, but it's pretty average really, will do more on a long run.30 mpg is crazy! Very impressive
is it your daily?Thanks, but it's pretty average really, will do more on a long run.
UK gallons are bigger than US gallons, as a result your mpg numbers will be higher for the same actual fuel consumption. Is that mileage figure calculated by odometer readings with a topped off tank? I regularly have people tell me their full size American pickup gets upper 20’s or even low 30’s mpg US, but they’ve never actually hand calculated mpg from tank to tank. In reality no full size pickup will get more than about 20-22mpg unless under absolute ideal conditions.What?

is your lc fully stock?25 uk imperial gallons converted to US gallons is 30.
I use a mpg calculator. So litres put in the tank compared to odo readings over a period of time.
I'm happy to be corrected.
285s, 2" lift, intercooler, stock turbo at 15 psi. Grind on the fuel pin.is your lc fully stock?
Maybe. But it would come at a cost of long term reliability, which is completely unacceptable to me personally.
Yes. I’d say that’s what they were built for.Would you say the diesel is a good daily driver?
As mentioned before, UK gallons are not the same as US gallons.What?

Not necesarily true at all.
Toyota tuned the 80s very conservatively.
More boost gives you a cleaner more efficient burn, and lower combustion temperatures.
Its arguable that a more efficient turbo and a careful tune would imprive the life of the engine.
Push this to extremes, and drive like a peanut, then the longevity is compromised.
The same engines were built as marine engines and produced double to power outoutas a Yanmar marine engine.
I know, that's why I converted my 25 uk imperial gallons to 30 US gallons for you.As mentioned before, UK gallons are not the same as US gallons.
with respect, non of this actually means anything though. People get what they get, as long as there doing there sums right.But even then, i still have a very hard time believing numbers like this. Not only based on my own personal (rather extensive) experience with these trucks/engines, but also Toyota's own numbers.
For 1995-1997 trucks, with 24V TD and MT original claimed highway fuel consumption by Toyota was 11.2L/100KM. Which translates to 21 US MPG.
This claimed number would be under IDEAL test conditions, brand new vehicle, no modifications and running street/highway tires. These conditions are not realistic for 99.99% of 80-series owners out there, and i have NEVER seen a vehicle (ANY vehicle) from that era achieve their manufacturers fuel consumption claimed numbers in real world. So when i see people claiming 20% better fuel economy (25MPG) out of these trucks when they're 30 years old, lifted, overweight and riding on 35" mud terrains, you can see where my skepticism comes from...
And another point i brought up earlier - Toyota's claimed highway MPG numbers for the US 1997 FZJ80 were 15MPG, which makes this a pretty consistent number considering 40% less energy density for gasoline (in lab environment).
