Hi,
New here from the U.K!
Picking my first Vcross up this weekend!
First thing that's being done is an LPG conversion.
Apparently running on LPG (which is way cheaper and will give the equivalent of 30 or so mpg) helps a lot with oil consumption.
The engine runs a little cooler, and as its a gas it doesn't "wash" the oil off the bore walls.
Let you know how it goes!
