I don't know where these Daih

55/60
my basic rule
don't rev the engine 2.8td has plenty low down grunt
sit at 55/60 mph and service with a good quality oil and filter
cheep oil filters can rob you of performance. if you dont belive me get a original daihatsu filter and a cheep one give it a try youl be amazed at the difrence
Fair enugh. My comments were
Fair enugh. My comments were not directed at anyone by the way. Just stating facts as I see them. By the way the Daihatsu's I've had are F20, F50, F75, F200 (Sporti), F80 & F78. As I said, I have never had decent fuel consumtion out of any of them. It may well be the way I drive, or the type of driving I do.

Do you have one of thouse too
Do you have one of thouse too? That's my family car, as it goes. (And I get about 22mpg, by the way). She's an L reg auto. Haven't found mention of a manual version of the L200, only the 300.

Fuel Consumption
I reliably get 10 km per litre (30mpg) from my 2 F75 Rockies. (No Turbo) Set the trip meter when refilling and always check it so I know when I have a problem. Use the trip meter and not the unreliable fuel gauge to know when to refuel. Change gears at 2000 rpm keeping revs between 1000 and 2000 rpms. Still have the original clutch in my 530,000 km F75 Rocky so I must be driving OK. The Rocky took a sickie today - oil pressure was down so I will try an oil change with fresh Shell Helix super for older engines otherwise that engine will need to be replaced.
