And all you damn Americans think the world revolves around the Imperial system... Thank you for those posting in km and liters!!

It was not so long ago that Canada used the Imperial system of liquid measure.
I bought plenty gas in Imperial gallons in Canada in my younger years.
The Canadian roads were marked in miles then, as well.
The United States doesn't use Imperial liquid measurement.
A US gallon is smaller than an Imperial gallon.
Crude oil is still sold worldwide measured by the 42 US gallon barrel, so I guess gallons aren't entirely obsolete.

1983 4x4 short bed, 7.00 x 15LT 31" stock size mud and ice tube-type tires, 22R engine with stock carb desmogged, stock suspension, no lift, no power steering, 5-speed manual, had 19 MPG with the triangle bar on, gets 22½ MPG with it off. Big difference for just that flat little plate sticking up but it accelerates significantly faster with it off too. How sad, I liked the look of it.
When I get some more of the 7.00 x 15LT ice tires for my front (have a dunlop all terrain on front left and some SUV tire on the right) and some shocks it should be even better.
I'll get 25 MPG if I'm really nice to it.

Update: Sorry I posted in the wrong spot. My fault. However, I used to have an 87. I'll talk about those numbers here
1987 Toyota Pickup 4x4
22r with top end rebuild at 210k miles... and again at 256k due to a broken water pump and a fussy temp gauge.
stock carb with K&N bolt-on
NWOR header with 2.25 exhaust
Richmond 4.88s
MSD 6a with blaster coil
BFG 31 10.5 R15
22.75mpg before I put smittybilt bumpers on the front & rear.
18.25mpg once I put the bumpers on.
I attribute these numbers to the K&N, the 4.88s, the MSD and the 31" tires. I did all these mods in succession and all of them gained me a mpg or two. The k&N raised my MPG because the elevation here is 4100ft and I think it leaned out the fuel mixture a little as airflow increased.

After I rebuilt the 22re in my 85 4Runner w/ 5 speed, I've consistently had just over 20 MPG driving on the roads in 2wd. Rolls on 235/75r15 Hercules Terra Trac a/t2 tires.
I've got as high as 24 mpg on a flat highway where I kept it steady at 60 mph for 110 miles, but that's not real-world conditions.
Lowest was 18 mpg revving high on gravel back roads in 4wd.

Just posted on the 22re gas mileage thread and I wanna brag about my '95 'NewRunner with 3.slo a bit too.
This last week the family and I made a run from southern AZ up to northern California to peep the giant sequoias, with a stop on the way home at the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
2 adults, two kids, and dog, with three hundred pounds or so of camping gear.(receiver basket on back and a few things on the roof rack)
Ran right at 1800 miles, mostly @ near 70mph on 97 gallons of 10% ethanol 87 octane fuel for 18.5mpg overall.
Worst tank was about 15.6mpg and a couple pushed 20mpg. Tire and gear specs in my signature
Not too shabby for the ol 3vz-e eh???

22re 5 speed, new tune with 8* advance, 31's w/4.10 gears, Odometer compensation of +1 mile for every 10 traveled. 50/50 mix of highway 65-70 mph & stop and go = 22.3 mpg.
Will be trying a full highway run next.
