17mpg
When I bought my V6 I drove it 300 miles home up the motorway and worked it out to 22mpg. I mainly drive like a granny but my wife did the last 100 miles and she's more heavy-footed.
I've done some more long trips since and I don't notice much difference between the V6 and my old 2.5td Pajero. |

I've had 2.5, 2.8 and V6 over the years and the 2.8 was best on fuel. Overall I would go with overall condition of the truck ahead of engine choice as there are pros and cons of each. |
