Lifted on bigger tires? I truley find your mileage per tank not to be true.
Dude...
I have a 3.0, 90 4runner,auto w/od...on stock tires,no engine or rig mods,at all and I only get a little over 200 miles per tank...on the highway!!!
I seriously doubt,that a 3.0 with bigger and wider tires gets better gas milage than a stock rig...or everyone would be slamming bigger tires on their rigs.
it might help to say that the motor in his truck is new and yes it gets about 200 miles to the tank no lie i don't know how but it does. maybe not quite 300 highway but close. I've had lots of 3.0's and they too average about 200 miels to the tank. I had a 5-speed 88 3.0 that got exactly 260 miles to the tank city driving.
