'92 xtra cab. mostly stock. 31x10.5 I average 15-16. about half my miles are freeway driving(usually about 75.) I could probably do better if I tried to save gas while driving, but the skinny pedal is too much fun.

22 MPG's in a 97 4runner 3.4, 5Spd--it was stock at the time--was driving through New Mexico or west Texas towing a little Harbor Freight Trailer with Plywood sides (remember when Plywood was cheap?)

And 22 in my current Runner when it was stock--99, 3.4, 5Spd.

Now i get 16-17 city and maybe 17-18 highway with 35's, 4.88's, Skids, Sliders, TJM-T15.......

Aww Norman you can post polls?? Damn I am jealous now. Haha. Yeah, the best I got was on my way home from a place called Frasier Park. It is pretty much all downhill, with a tailwind. Granted, its only like 20 miles, I got 18 mpg for that half tank of gas, meaning on just that trip I had to get over 25, but I still only selected 18 on the poll...

Seems like the newer 4runners get better gas MPG. I am guessing that's because the 3.4 is lighter than the 3.0, and probably because its newer too. I wonder what my gains will be when I do swap engines... Still I have to tug around my heavy metal body unlike 3rd gens.

I've touched 22mpg on the highway once, but am regularly in the 21 range with highway driving.

'02 SR5 4wd, 3.4L with Trueflow intake & filter, elbow removed, running stock sized tires.

I usually don't let my tank get empty enough to tell from how many miles I go on one tank. The most I've gone is 310, which is around 19. But like I said, I usually top it off when I'm around 260-280.
