: i have a 1984 model hilux with an 18R engine and can never better 8KILOS TO THE LITRE ON THE HIGHWAY. CAN ANYONE ASSIST. I WAS CONTEMPLATING A 5 SPEED BOX, AS THIS COMES STANDARD WITH A FOUR SPEED. ANY TIPS WELCOME. ALSO DOES ANY ONE HAVE THE ORIGINAL FUEL SPEC WHEN THIS MODEL WAS INTRODUCED. REGARDS.

Might try hitting the CAPS LOCK key again, appears you left it on!

Not sure the exact fuel mileage of that model, but something in the low- to mid-20MPG range would be reasonable. 20MPG=8.5KM/L, 25MPG=10.6KM/L. What modifications does the truck have? Any lift? Any larger than stock tires? If so, has the gearing been changed? How fast are you driving? What are the driving conditions you are measuring fuel consumption under?
