I have no confidence in electric motors.

The day the are able to bring out an electric powered airplane (aeroplane?), I will reconsider.

Well.

It has better range than the V8 with full tanks (200l)

When it comes to sucking fuel I do not think there is a huge gap between a petrol Wrangler and a Petrol Cruiser.

The v8 Cruiser average around 7.6km/ l.

I do not know of any Cruiser branded Toyota's that get good fuel consumption, possibly the Prado 3.0 D4D or the, soon to be released, Prado 2.8 GD6... but other than that, Cruisers are thirsty 4x4s

Any Cruiser has a distinct idle. It goes: "gallon-gallon-gallon"

What would the consumption be of other similar SFA 4x4`s than the Cruiser?

Christo, similar robust vehicles with SFA include the Wrangler, the older SFA Patrols, the previous generation G-Class.
All use similar amounts of fuel to the Cruiser...
