Toyota Windom

[Intrinzic1976]

Hello everyone, this is Shawn from Jamaica. I am new to the group.

I recently bought a 2001 Toyota Windom 3.0. I however noticed it consumes a lot of gas. Is there any advice or recommendations as to how I can improve my gas mileage? Could it be a sensor or computer related problem?

Hi

I used to own one of these.

Firstly I would fill up with Gas from empty and note the milage/KMs at the time of fill up. Then drive the car as normal until empty. You need to calculate the MPG you are getting.

You can then use a calculator here: http://www.fuel-economy.co.uk/calc.html or something similar by doing a search.

Then use http://www.fuelly.com/ to see what others are getting, you will see many other people will submit figures for your car. Then you will tell.

Remember the 3.0 engine is not that economical, so it could be normal. You can do things like clean the MAF sensor which will help economy a little.

The car would throw a light on the dash if it was over fueling.
