Hi,
I was wondering why the Patrol fuel consumption is so higher in urban cycle comparing to the Pajero or Land Cruiser (say 10 years old models), something like 14.5l/100 compared to 12, while extra urban values are more similar, something like 9.5 vs 8.2
I guess engine technologies and weigth play a big role,
- is there something significant that can be done to reduce the Patrol urban consumption (weight: getting rid of unused seats, spare wheel ...)?
- is there an easily reversible mod that would reduce the engine power to the needs for a city and save fuel? (a magic chip that would cut down unneeded horses)
