fuel economy of pick-ups

[chokchai]

I am going to buy a 4 door pick-up......NEW. But when ever I ask the 'salesman' what  is the kpl or mpg they duck the question. I am interested in the Isuzu, Chevvy and the new Forsd ranger. Can you all give me your experiances.

The ford web site says that the new ranger uses 7.6 litres per 100 k sounds  ambitisious.  What are your opinions

I think if u are worried about fuel costs buy a motorbike or a gas coverted car.

Well CoCo ,my old banger does 11.5 km to the litre & as you know I have a heavy foot too!

Why don't you go for a diesel one? It will give you great economy and good towing capacity.

Fuel economy could be different for 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder.

That was about my oil consumption in the old Nissan nv !

Our Isuzu 2.5ltrs, 4 years old and 125000 km uses 7.5 liters per 100km (shows the board computer). I admit that I don't have a heavy foot. Drive around 90-100 km per hour.
