Toyota V8 is one of the most expensive vehicles on Kenyan roads. This vehicle is perceived to be expensive due to its maintenance cost as well as its fuel consumption rate. Each and every day vehicle companies as coming up with new ways of improving their vehicles to satisfy their customers.
ToyotaV8 is given this name because its engine has eight-cylinder pistons. This is the reason why its engine is so strong and on the other hand, consumes a lot of fuel.
Some years back, the Toyota V8 together with Subaru were the vehicles around that were known to consume so much fuel. In Kenya, there are always restrictions and high taxes on vehicles that consume a lot of fuel.
This is one of the reasons most companies right now are majoring in manufacturing vehicles with low fuel consumption rates.
This is one of the ways to increase their sales since most people want vehicles that will be cheap to maintain as well as a low fuel consumption rate.

The amount of fuel in liters that a ToyotaV8 consumes per kilometer varies depending on the specific model, driving conditions, and other factors. However, as a general rule of thumb, Toyota V8 engines typically consume between 10 and 20 liters per 100 kilometers (6.2 and 12.4 miles per gallon).
For example, the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series with the 5.7L V8 engine has an official combined fuel consumption figure of 13.6L/100km (17.8 mpg). However, real-world fuel consumption can be significantly higher, especially in city driving or when towing a trailer.
Fuel consumption figures for specific ToyotaV8 models:
- Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series (5.7L V8): 13.6L/100km (17.8 mpg) combined
- Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (4.6L V8): 16.5L/100km (14.3 mpg) combined
- Toyota Tundra (5.7L V8): 15.2L/100km (15.9 mpg) combined
It is important to note that these are just averages, and your actual fuel consumption may vary depending on your driving habits and the conditions you are driving in.
