    Bit of a generalisation about new utes using a lot of juice. My V6 ford highway is mid to high 8s. Mixed city driving is low 10s. L/100kms.

    Still, the 3.2L ranger I have in the worst traffic in NZ and mixed city/highway is 8.1L/100Km. Not as high as the companies 3.2 and 2L bi-turbo's, but still better than what you report which seems about in the middle. The V6 at 3L shoulod be a little better than the 3.2L 5-cyl but the disappointment is the 2L. Thirsty and expensive to maintain...
