What's the capacity of the tank on a 94 4Runner? I've been driving my dad's truck around and I've been getting like 60 something miles to like half a tank. It's terrible.

im getting about 60 miles for a 1/4 tank of gas.

Maybe 240 miles until i ran completely out.

i don't let it get that low.
So about 15-16 mpg's

I once got 20 MPG on a highway trip around Northern Nevada with stock intake and 31x10.5-15's with 25% tread left. Stock 4.30 differentials according to some chart I found on here.

Usually I get around 200 miles per tank (13 to 15 mpg) with the K&N FIPK.

Never have run it dry, but running on E with the light on the most I've ever put in it is just over 14 gallons.

I consider that pretty good! I only got 161 out of my last tank. Averaged out to 11.7 mpg I believe. And I was driving nice and mellow most of it, except for a couple burnouts at the low end of the gauge

For the most part. Depends on the type of material I'm on, and I'm not talking about dirt burnouts lol. But yeah, just rev it up to like 3500 and pop the clutch then move my foot to the brake . I usually only do it when its wet out though

EDIT: When I get my 4.88's, lockrite, and 33's, I'll do a video for you showing my old 31's demise

And for the record the truck is stock with 31" tires. Im thinking about cleaning the EGR out and replacing the damn Air filter with some sort of open element for a little better performance out of it when I do the ISR.

Just keep the 3.0 well maintained. i change oil on time. clean the K&N filter every 3-4 months. free flowing exhaust. etc etc.

93 V6 5spd 33x12.5's SAS, 4.88's hwy 19MPG city 15MPG I get about 500kms per tank hwy.

All stock engine with stock Toyota air filter (changes every 3 month's) and a bad cat and stock exhaust.

Doing a 2.5" exhaust and hi flow cat this spring, see what kind of difference it makes.
