I have a 3.0 turbo diesel Super Custom. I would like to hear about other people's mileage for Hiaces as I seem to average 12l/100km.

Not many replies yet eh?
12L/100kmMy falcon towing the trailer probably doesn't use much more than that.

2.8 Diesel HiAce 700 ks to dead empty[Yeah I found out].3.0 not much more than 600 ks.Both non turbo.
GOOD ROADS, NUTHIN 2 RIDE
450km with 3ltr turbo 1KZ-TE long wheel base per tank honking along fully loaded. About 500 following the engine revs with accelerator.
High top roofs or jumbo vans use a noticeable amount more.
Long lived engines though.

2.8 non turbo diesel LWB - av 9.9 litres/100 km over 10,000kms running air con all the time with foot to the floor a lot of the time. (it's hilly out here) - haven't run a tank dry but seems to be about 550-600 km between refills.

You might want to keep that other thing you said a bit quiet.

Hi there mate,
3.0 diesel non turbo... steady cruising not over 100kmh I will get nearly 640km out of a tank. I think it worked out to 10L/100km. Pretty good to run! As much as a small car or large motorcycle.
Just wind back the km's for ruc and they are brilliant.
...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.
now where's some dirt!
I don't have a hiace but for comparison my Hyundai H100 LWB 2.5 diesel gets between 9.5 to 10L/100km pretty consistently. It seems to be closer to 9.5 on the long trips and goes out to 10 (or maybe 10.2) if I am driving around town etc. Stupid 50L tank means at max I can only get 520k per tank, although I havent run out yet.

Is it easy to wind back the odometer or is it better to disconnect the speedo cable and use a GPS as a speedo?

Just disconnect the speedo and just use rpm tach instead. If you had a GPS that refreshed speed quickly that'd be a viable option though!Is it easy to wind back the odometer or is it better to disconnect the speedo cable and use a GPS as a speedo?
Winding back the odometer is a lot more effort but when you've got $$$ in ruc overdue it's the only way.

A mate of mine said years ago he had a diesel Landcruiser and the cop jumped in the truck and made him drive to check that the speedo was working. I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else, though.
The cops must all know that people with old diesels unplug the speedo cable.
