For a 5,000km fuel record, average 13.12L/100km for everyday mixed running around town plus a couple of long trips, no towing.
I don't do a lot of towing, but I have one trip on record towing my trailer for a full tank and that was 14.5L/100km.
Most economic fuel in my records looks to be Z's ZX95.

All of the above was with factory Hercules AT's which gave a speedo reading approx. 8% under, so real world economy will be a bit higher.
I am now running muds and have gone up a size, but since I am not daily driving the hilux I haven't bothered to check consumption.


My 3.4L V6 Surf did 12.35L/100km on 91 fuel, and 11.67L/100km on 95/98 over 11,000km of fuel records.
