Lifted folks: What MPG do you get on 33's/35's?
I was curious what gas mileage to expect if I decided to lift my 3rd gen 4runner.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Suggested Format:
=========================
[city gas mileage] / [highway gas mileage]
[2.7L] or [3.4L]
[lift (in)]
[gear ratio] or ["stock ratio"]
Comments:
[mention any mods you believe effect your gas mileage or anything else you'd like to share]

16.5/18-19
3.4L
3in lift
stock ratio
285/75/16's yoko geo Ht/S (street tread)
isr/deckplate/trd sticker
(and yes that is using the correct miles to calculate)

-3.4L
-dont know exact mpg's since were in metric, but i get about 280-300km to a tank. about 99% city driving. only time i get more km/tank is when i drive the highway to go wheelin
-about 4" lift. 2.5-3 susp/1.5 body.
another thing that i find really kills my mpg is the arb bull bar. not the most streamlined thing, and add this to big off road 33"s...and well...mileage? whats that? wheres the next gas station?

If I drive like an old lady I can get 21mpg on the highway. Normal city is 15-16mpg
285's
4.10 gears
4" overall lift
Looking at going to 4.56 when I do my lockers and hoping this gets a bit better.

3.4
4:30 gears
auto
~1.5" lift.
with 265's I was getting 20 on the hi-way and ~17 city, now with the 285's I seem to get about 18 hi-way and almost the same city, but because it's summer I'm also running the a/c now. I normally drive slow but I usually do at least one or two "floor it" a day. It helps to relax me.

On my 2003 hilux I have stock 4.1:1 gears, 5 speed manual, 3.4 V6, and I run 265/75x16 BFG A/T's (32" diameter) and the best average Ive got out of a tank of fuel is 12.8 litres per 100km (Australian measurement here), that should equate to 18.28 miles per gallon.
Would going to 4.56:1 ratio better my fuel economy or not? It would rev higher at 60mph wouldn't it?
Also, If I went 285's and the 4.56 gears, what would my economy be then?
Thanks for any help I may get.

not to hijack...but some questions and opinions to those with 35's, 4.30's, and 3.4l with ladymatics...assuming youve previously had 33's...
-was there a noticable power loss from the 35's? it was somewhat noticable going stock 265/70's to the 33's...but im over it now.
-how is it on the trail? too tall gearing wise? would it make a difference going to 4.56's? or if im gonna bother to regear...should i go 4.88's? i dont care if its a slug off the line and it'll probably kill my already bad mileage as it is. but how is the combo on the rocks?
much thanks
