haha....fuel economy. uhm. hm. i own a 93 FJ80. it runs a 4.5 liter straight six and i get under 20 miles on the highways. city driving...brings tears to my eyes and a tremble in my hand when i buy gas. i'd say along the lines of 13-15 miles per gallon when not using the air conditioner. i'm not exactly sure where in Washington you are, but i guess using the heater could also take the severe toll in the gas mileage since the "100" series (or was it the 90 series...) land cruisers have even LESS mileage than the FJ80s due to the addition of two extra cylinders and .2 liters. so city driving on the 99-02 runs close to 12-15 miles by the gallon depending on the use of A/C or heating.
my question is...if the car is going to spend 90% of it's remaining lifespan at the mall...why don't you go for a Limited 4Runner? Can't say anything if your wife would love an LC, but with the gas prices still high and not wanting to fall anytime soon...a 4Runner or even a Sequoia will consume less gas.
