2016 lx570 high fuel consumption
Hi
I just bought a 2016 lx570 (GCC specification) and i have previously owened a 2009 lx570
I have noticed a high fuel consumption on my 2016 model i have taken the vehicle to the dealer for check up and they think it has normal fuel consumption.
I am getting 530km (331miles) in the range page with Eco mode. Is this normal.? I used to get higher range with my old 2009 model.
The only diffrence is that my 2016 has the sport kit installed (as shown in the picture) which i am suspecting that it has more drag on highways.
I am seriously thinking about removing the sport kit to get more range. Any suggestion.?
Thanks in advance

I’m usually around 278 miles on mine being 13.9 mpg for the city for a 2016. You must be driving mostly hwy to get close to 16.5 mph. This is assuming the 20 gallon tank for fillups and 6 gallons or so for reserve.
So if you are saying what you are saying that’s really good.

I assume that in your location you are not using ethanol-containing gasoline. Here in the USA, I can boost my range by around 30-40 extra miles by using non-ethanol gas rather than the E85 blend. And that is 93 octane rated E85 versus 89 octane alcohol-free gasoline. I have not been able to find 93 octane non-ethanol anywhere near me to see if that further increases range.
BTW, what is the gas tank capacity of the LX570 version marketed in the UAE?

I have ti check the users manual for the size of the tank, but i believe that it pretty big 300AED (81$).

I've been using ethanol-free gas in both the LX and Land Cruiser since I bought both. Last fill of the Cruiser gave me 14 mpg after 280 miles around town and on the highway about 50-50.
I don't check predicted mileage with a full tank. I can say that with the gauge indicating 1/8 tank, I had 7 gallons remaining prior to filling up.
