Diesel swap guys what's your mpg's averaging?

I would like to go diesel in the near future (12-18 months). The platform will a 1999 5 speed 4runner.

Since this will be a DD I would like mpg's to in the mid to high 20's. So I was wondering what diesel platform you are running and city/hwy mileage?

Auto or Manual?
Gear ratio?
Tire size?

truck in my sig
86 p/u
om617
4.88's

33" tires yielded 19.5 mpg in town and 21 hwy consistently

37's have yielded a high of 23mpg hwy and a low of 16mpg hwy. Very inconsistent. Need 5.29's or 5.71's for 37's.

Very ˟˟˟˟ty motor (hard to work on and expensive). Going VW 1.9 this time.
