Apples are cheaper to buy than oranges but they taste different. we would need makes and models, years and engines before we could comment further

well that question cant be answerd because we dont know what make model year----
Like my 1.9 tdi diesel will use half what a 3 liter toyota diesel kz engine will use and produce almost 2 times as mutch power.
Get the picture!

have got a toyota hiace 3litre diesel, it chews thru the fuel, am looking at getting maybe a toyota estima 2.2 2.4 litre petrol, as am towing a trailer,

a.woodrow, Nov 11, 12:21pm
is it a 1kz or an old 5L! 2.2, 2.4 is very thirsty and gutless

intrade, Nov 11, 12:23pm
you should use
flashlube diesel additive on that , and it wont chew as mutch fuel plus it would run mutch smoother . Going to a estima is like taking a handgranade and pulling the pin on it .

post engine number its on the plate near driver seat if you dont know it.

So your 1.9 TDI makes 190KW!

intrade, Nov 11, 12:28pm
note i said almost it could produce that but then i needed a stage 3 clutch first and a bigger turbo. its why i posted almost as a analogy was the only thing poping to my mind at the time .

So you're comparing a modified engine to a standard one! Absolutely meaningless.
