- 86 p/u
- 22rte - Stock
- All factory accessories P/S, A/C, power everything etc.
- 2wd
- K&N filter
- Blown head gasket
- 140,000 miles
11 mpg... With 40% city, 60% highway and a very light foot.
I'm hoping in the next few weeks after I get my block back from the machine shop, and I get back on the road, mileage will be much improved.

21-22mpg with a V6, 5spd, 4x4 and tonneau cover. I was at 19-20 and when I added the tonneau cover I picked up about 10%. All my driving is highway and I go between 65-70mph. My tires are 255/65/15 on some sort of aftermarket 15in rim.

*AM intake kit and filter

*Freshly removed and cleaned intake and throttle body

Well, just Wednesday put a full tank in and the gauge hasn't moved from being over the full mark yet after about 25 miles, but I'll post back up here once the tank's gone and I'll see where I stand... should be pretty good now, I went all of last week and then some on just under a half a tank, and that was with a good amount of miles too, but I didn't calculate it out cuz I didn't know how many miles or exactly how much gas I had in it. Got the info now though; put 14.765 gallons in at 284,008 miles, and at $3.319 a gallon, that cost me $49.00!
Gas prices suck...

So after a quarter of a tank (5 days later), I calculated roughly 14mpg right now! Much better than it used to be, but of coarse this is just a very rough estimate right now. Plus I've been getting into the throttle a lot here lately, lol.

94 3.Ouch, 143k on the OD, see my sig for details.
i got 15+mpg with BFG A/T, 14mpg with Bridgestone M/T. mixed hwy and local driving, but you should know here in L.A., Hi-Way doesn't mean you can go faster the surface street all the time.
note: i have roof rack with 4 lights on top and the vehicle weights 4280lbs empty.

Somone please ban HelliphinoN8.
why would anyone in their right mind WANT to use a system of measurement that uses multiples of 12 instead of 10? And thats just distance...
ANYWAYS
m 94 22RE 5spd-
I got 23mpg last fillup before I got my 33s - Had stocker 265/70 R17 (32x10?)

Silly RobD. Almost every country that uses the metric system, (including Canada), has a socialist form of gov't. In America it's "We The People". In Europe,...and Canada, it's all aboot the gov't takin care of the poor people that can't fend for themselves. I'm not saying that we don't have those parasites in the U.S., but we like to think of them as the Al Gore lovin Liberal babies.
Now, here's the how the metric system works:
- 1 meter is about 3.2 feet
- 1 kilometer is about 0.62 miles
- 1 liter is about 0.26 gallons
- and easy way to remember is 60mph = ~100km/h

Dude, no offence meant, but the metric system isn't the work of "socialists". Oddly enough, it's a system based on certain logical, scientific standards. Such as 100 centimeters to one meter. There are 1000 meters to a kilometer. Zero celcius is freezing, 100 celcius is boiling.
Not quite as quaint as the 12 inches equals one foot deal, and three of them to a yard. Then there's 5280 feet to a mile. Or freezing at 32 farenheit and 212 degrees for boiling.
Nice system.
And by the way, I get roughly 12.5 liters per 100 kms. Which would be approximately 22.6 miles per Imperial gallon, or 18.82 miles per US gallon.
As you can see in my sig line, I'm running a 3.4 liter engine with 265/85R15...er, 33"x10.5"x15" tires.
My calculations also show that 8 out of 24 posts, as of this writing, are by Canadians, giving you 33.3% (or 1/3) of the posts from Canada, not the 90% you claim. Don't forget the 1 guy from Belize, which is not part of the US.

Does anyone know to conversion factor for odometer readings? I installed 31s on my truck a 1986 4runner which are bigger than the factory tires. The other day i used google maps for directions, it said the trip would be 96milesbut my odometer only marked 84.

just make a ratio of the circumferance of your old tires and new tires....
ex./ old=29" new=32" 32/29=1.103
multiply that ratio by indicated speed or mileage.
so if you drive 100 miles, 100x1.103=110.3 miles.
this may have to do with why some people who only have tire mods get crappy mileage. remember to correct your odometer reading before you do the math..
btw- 1994 extracab 22re with BFG a/t 32" and i get 19-22mpg
ex./ old=29" new=32" 32/29=1.103
multiply that ratio by indicated speed or mileage.

the meter is derived from the distance light travels in a vacum over a givin distance.. the speed of light.. approx. 350km to the tank with an adjustment for 33's stock gears and 22re on a 87Runner.. not great

Well just filled up the second tank after my rebuild. First one I got 13.5 mpg. This time I got 15.5 mpg. Same style of driving, same basically all city. I like the way this is going.
