Hey guys i recently started driving a truck i built, it has the original motor in it. I bought this truck because i thought it was going to be good on gas but i only got 140kms on 3/4 of a tank and i know thats not right.So i was just wondering what kind of gas mileage i should be getting and what could be the cause of the motor being a pig?

 

i have an 84 22r.i cn get maby 150 miles on 3/4 of a tank. all hiway driving tho.

 

The milage you will get will depend on what season (assuming they put additives in your wintergas), driving conditions, warm up times etc. You should also put your precived milage in compareable terms with common units such as miles per gallon or KMPL or whatever. not KM per fraction of tank.

In a 22R or 22RE in the summer you should expect to be in the high teens or low 20's (MPG). In the winter with additives, warm ups, and 4 wheel driven engaged occasionally expect mid teens (MPG).

 

yeah i think i just got really bad mileage cuz it was only running on 2 cylinders... ive filled up and put 50kms on and the needle hasnt moved.

 

You need to actually work out your mileage on paper, you can't trust the gas gauge in these trucks once they're this old. Mine will tell me I've used the first half of a full tank to go 50 miles, and on paper it actually pulls about 19mpg consistently (or approximately 320 miles a tank)

 

O i am dont worrie i reallly wanna figure it out

 

i no what you mean with the gage. ive drive pretty damm far on empty. the first have stays a wile. but after half tank it just drops quick.

 

Yeah, mine will be below empty after burning 12 gallons of a 17 gallon tank.

 

with 4.10 and 31s i got about 320 also now a got 32s and 4.88 141,000 miles any idea what i should get now i haven't had time to do the math yet. anyone have an idea?

 

okay so ive been driving it for about 2 days on empty ive put about 340kms on it and it still hasnt ran out so im guessing its just the old gauge

 

So how big is the gas tank on a 84 4runner

 

the one on my 84 toyota is roughly 70 litres

 

my 84 pu is 16 gal on the dot. well thats how much it will take at the pump

 

anybody know for sure?

 

320?? wow if my odomiter hits 190 im coasting into a station..

my gas guage just scans the whole tank.. its moves from empty to full and just keeps bouncing haha
