Fuel Mileage. Stock 22RE trucks

I've read through several mileage threads but they were not very concise or exclusive. I would like for people to post in this thread that have stock or near-stock 22RE trucks in a format similar to the following:

1992 22RE extended cab pickup
manual tranny
no mods
20.549 mpg- 1/2hwy, 1/2 town, almost no AC use

Thanks for your participation guys!

my fleet past and present

1987 toyota longbed 2wd 22r 5 speed - 19 to 21 - 0 to 60- 11.5 sec
1990 toyota xtracab 2wd 22re efi automatic - 18 to 20. 0 to 60 - 13.5 sec
1993 toyota xtracab 2wd 3.0 efi automatic - 20 to 23 - 0to 60 - 9.0 sec
all truck are totally stock.
i guess i had to flog the 22r trucks more to keep up with traffic.
aditionally 2003 ford ranger kingcab 4.0 4wd automatic - 13 to 16
i hope the ranger lasts as long as the payment book. exxon mobil sure likes my spouse's ranger. lousy range too, 190 to 250 miles on a tank.

1993 22re short bed standard cab. all stock. i cant do anything to get less than 20 miles to the gallon. even towing my golf cart up to the mountains, 20 mpg. 100% highway with half a load of snow, 25 mpg. i'm pretty happy with stacie, she's a good little truck. definetly aint the fastest girl at the track, but with gas prices the way they are, i am more concerned with miles to the 1/4 tank than 1/4 mile times.

I have an '89 2wd longbed pickup. 22RE and A43 auto.

I am getting ~21-24mpg depending on how the city/hiway miles work out. Hiway mileage suffers a lot if cruising at 75-80. Keep it at 65 and I can get close to 25mpg.

I drive 72 miles round trip to work Monday-Friday. It is about 1/2 stop-and-go traffic, and about 1/2 cruising @ 60MPH. So far this season I've been doing windows open, and A/C off.

1994 Xtra cab
22RE
4x4
5 speed
225/75/15 tires at 32 PSI

I get 23-24 MPG regularly on 87 octane.
I've been having a lot of pinging recently, so I've run a couple tanks of 89 recently. Pinging is noticeably less, and I'm actually getting close to 25 MPG on the last two tanks.

Oh, and my '88 with a 5 speed, 36" Swampers, and stock 4.10 gears gets about 15 MPG, but I just stuck some 5.29s in it and that should help since I'll be able to use 4th and 5th more instead of standing on the gas in 3rd and 4th. .

stock except its an automatic. right now in warm spring using ac off and on, I am getting 20/21 in town 22/23 on highway. I have stock tires, which I had to order. 225 is stock instead of 235 which are more common. not mcuh different I guess, just a little narrower.

My 1988 4x4 Xcab w/31" tires, stock diff. gears, and manual trans. got 15.7 mpg before adding Downey header and air intake, 17.2 mpg afterwards (using 87 octane gas). That's 50:50 highway:surface streets, with 65mph on the freeway. I do have a bed topper and wood sleeping platform in the back to lug around though.

yes, the a/c will make your gas mileage suffer, to what degree that varies from truck to truck. i was told the compresssor takes 10-15 hp to run. i know on my truck you can really feel when the compressor comes on.

88 4Runner
5 spd trnny
stock 4.11 gears,
31/10.50R15. Running 36 PSI. It's where the chalk says to run 'em

Was getting a solid 17-18 MPG.

Now that I put in a new throttle body, I have been getting 22-23 MPG.

Put in a SR5 dash last year. Been driving be the tach since. Most days I shift around 1750. Even around 1500 I try to keep the RPM around 2200-2300 while cruising.

One the highway, I try to keep it around 2800-2900.

Still need to replace the exhaust and the O2 sensor. The MAF has been messed with by the previous owner so I have no clue if it is factory or what.
