The official fuel consumption figures for the 2018 Toyota Hilux vary depending on the specific configuration and drivetrain, typically ranging from 7.5 to 8.5 litres per 100 kilometres. The 2.4-litre turbo diesel (2GD-FTV) variant clocks in at around 8.5L/100km in city driving, which can drop to 7.0L/100km on the highway. The more powerful 2.8-litre version (1GD-FTV) uses a bit more fuel, roughly 5% to 10% higher. Real-world MPG, of course, depends heavily on how you drive, the roads you're on, and how well you maintain the truck. Keeping your tyres properly inflated, the engine tuned up, and the air filter clean will definitely help keep those fuel costs in check. That diesel engine's got plenty of low-end torque, which makes it perfect for hauling heavy loads or logging long highway miles. If you're looking at a used one, make sure to dig into the service records to ensure the engine and transmission are in good shape. Generally, these diesel-powered models tend to hold their fuel efficiency better over time compared to their petrol counterparts.
