I got around 16 mpg city and up to 21 hwy on 31's in my pickup with a Manual tranny. With the 33's I'm getting around 14-15 around town and maybe 18 hwy. Tune up is probably the best thing you can do if it hasn't been done recently. Keep up on fluid changes. |
go to full Synthetics in EVERYTHING (tranny, t-case, both diffs, and motor) throw a 22re in that badboy and youll get an increase |
My 88 is a straight front 4" TG conversion with synthetic gear oil,a R151F 5 Speed trans,open 4:88 front and back open gears,ran 33's on 10" rims with 23mpg tops and now using 35's on 10" rims with 21.6 mpg recently.Its a 166,000+ mile 22re with a later type plenum,LCE big throttle bore and a Supra non turbo housing with 22re circuits soldered inside,stock cam,DT tri-y headers with 2 1/4" custom flowmaster exhaust,Trail gear bought 6 puck clutch set-up,stock ignition with MSD 8.5 wires,larger than stock hi-amp alternator from Daves off-road and its daily driven to work and mall cruising.

can anyone let me know if my gas mileage is normal?
1994 Toyota 4Runner 4x2 3.0 V6 * Automatic * Rear gears showing as 3.90's (G272?) Tires are stock, alloy wheels not steel No mods, fully stock Has currently 190K miles on it I get a little over 200 miles per tank, when registered at the pump with the gallons put in, its showing anywhere from 12-14mpg, I'm very light footed, I dont have the ect, or overdrive on. I'd say I do about 50/50 highway-rural driving. I'd be happy getting 14mpg as long as I got more than 200 miles to the tank! haha It limits going on longer trips up north quite a bit..l :( Thanks for your replies. |

:laugh: |
Time to start a fight...put in a real engine! (read sig) I can consistently get 9-10 L/100km going 100-105kmph. Any faster than that and it goes down fast. Thats with my 36" tsl spare, and a 200lbs tool/stuff box. And have enough power to not need boost to pull most hills, and not have to time my passing to only going downhill.
In americanese, thats 24-25mpg. My record is 7.4 L/100km (30mpg) |
