1996 SR5 4runner 4x4 5spd w/ 5vzfe v6 if you didn't already know...it has 215,000 miles on original everything w 4.10 gears and I get 17mpg in town and 23 Hwy...this is with 265/75/16's...(that weight 51+ lbs each)
Average I guess, I am trying for 19 in town and 25+ on the Hwy...I will be goin to 245/75/16's that are 14 lbs lighter per tire...that should do somthing right???
According to my calculations that should be a 19%+ reduction in rotating mass...or equal to about -550 lbs dead weight off my rig...

'91 truck, 3.0 v6 with downy headers and 2.5" exhaust, K&N FIPK intake kit and 31 x 10.50 Goodyear Silent Armor tires, I get about 17mpg in the summer and 15mpg in the winter with the crappy oxygenated gas.
Thinking of doing a 3.4 swap soon though.

CANADIANS: Stop complaining! I'm sorry that you think we have a stupid system, congratulations you think your system makes more sense than ours, we don't care. I believe HelliphinoN8 already mentioned that we're a$$holes or something, well so we like to do what the hell we want, including the use of our own system and not some snooty ass metric system. Good for you guys and your logics and litres and whatever european type stuff it is that you do. Not us. We don't care that you pay more for gas either, that doesn't change the fact that we're unhappy with the prices we have to pay. We're not trying to be rude, but I think he was just saying as a minority on this site, not everybody knows what youre talking about when you pull the metric system stuff. Why doesn't everybody stop getting so uppity and b!tchy about insignificant stuff. This isnt a forum about world views and bashing america for being close minded. Lets keep it aboot wheelin and get along, even if you are a canadian.
ps. this wasnt intended to offend anyone either, so if u cant handle a little honesty/ opinion then stop annoyingly voicing yours.

And about all this Canada vs America crap, who cares. I use both every day and think it's funny people are so patriotic towards their measurment systems.
I wonder if Americans even know they use metric when they substitute writing out out the zeros in thousand for the metric abbreaviation "K"
