Hi I bought an 89 hilux last fall,and was getting about 600km per tank(60L). This winter my mileage has propped down to about 425 and has stayed there even after weather had warmend up.
I am having some brake service done, and hopefully my mileage will rise back up. what other contributing factors could there be?
There is no smoke coming out of exhaust, think fuel is burning well, but performance has dropped too, lacking power on hills.
still think it is brakes, but a 30% drop in mileage due to rubbing brakes seems high.
I have heard about some people bypasssing the EGR valve. Is there anyone who knows a bit more about this?
thanks
mika
