Well, fuel is killing me in my v8 Jeep. Think I might have to go back to a Toyota (something drivable this time).

I'm curious what the 1st and 2nd gen Truck (4Runners too but I'd like a truck) are getting out of the tank of petrol.
Looking for numbers from stock trucks and modified ones too (proving your re-geared, especially interested in trucks with 35-37" tires and 5.29s)

Thanks in advance!

i know my gen 2 4runners 22re use more gas than when i had a 87 22re and now there 70+ bucks to fill canadian..

I'm paying 95+ in the Jeep and it's lasting me 500km.
I just can't do this.

Well, I'm getting between 17 and 18 mpg (mixed driving), '05 runner, 3.0, 31's, 4.88 geating, auto tranny.
You won't pick up much of anything over the Jeep I don't believe.
I was getting a little less with the built (35's, 4.56, auto, 4.0L) '98 TJ that I had for some years.

I think the 4cyl should have a bit better mileage.

bigt

i get 400km and alittle bit a tank for 70 bucks

FredTJ

That doesn't tell us the mpg (or kpg or kpl whatever) that you're actually getting.

Do you know how to measure the actual that you're getting ?

nope i know how many kilometers i get PER TANK and how much that tank cost is all..

i dont know how much the tank holds.. 73 dollars at about 1.20 something a litre.. dont remember if i was empty though

my 93 auto gets around 16..give or take, my 94 5spd...dunno the actual mileage yet, but I have gone 250mi on just over 1/2 tank...thats a whole lot better than the 93(150 1/2 tank), so I'm gonna guess its around 20mpg. the 93 is on 235's and the 94 is on 31's

Believe it or not I get 20+ mpg in my 4Runner. Thats mixed driving highway and city. My rig is a 1985 4Runner, 22RE, 5-speed, 9 inch lift, 33x12.5x15 tires, 437 gears front & rear w/ lockers. I have my head polished and I think that might help out. I also put a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil in every third tank or so.

Yota Tony

This is what I want, actual numbers.

That's a cheaper then my Jeep. I'm currently driving like a little old lady and still getting crappy mileage.

Team420

Yeah, it costs me about $70-80us, to fill my tanks, the auto gets between 250-275mi to the tank, and the 5spd is at 250, and still has more than a quarter tank left, so I guess ill prob get over 300 out of it.

i average 20-23 mpg. 88 x-cab, 31's 22re. fpik and exhaust system (header back)
and i get 12 in my jeep

rowdy235

I'm getting around 28 in my first-gen 2wd. less in the city more on the highway

DeepSeaSnake

believe it or not my 87 runners last tank got me 27 mpg

probably a fluke. 22re 31s 4.10s just put a new 02 sensor and a detroit in the back though

usually get around 16 mpg (w/ bad 02 sensor)

phildelfino

With my 30 x 9.50 x 15 i averaged 12-13 MPG. Now with 33" i am gettong 11 MPG. It's a V6 and auto, so I need some gears next to restore pep and hopefully get better MPG.

Hope it helps.

In my 1990 4runner 5 speed with 4" lift 35 x 12.5 x 15 and 5.29 gears DD I average 120 miles to a half tank now with summer blend or 14-16 m.p.g. with winter blend my fuel mileage is around 12-14 m.p.g.

BigO

I average about 21 mpg with my '85 22RE Truck: manual trans, 30x9.5" tires, and 4.10 gears. It's 50/50 city and highway.

Matt16

I just got 26 mpg ( 310km to the halfway mark) with my truck. It has a 65 L tank.

guages arent accurate! half tank is not half tank.


In my 88 4runner on 31's I get 20 city/24 highway it has a 3.0 5 speed

My 92 4runner cant really be accurate of a 92 4runner See sig...
