Whoever wins just better hope he's not a drag queen...that could be a really disturbing prize...

Anyway, 4.1 for me.

I disagree; he stated he was getting only 12 mpg

so that leaves a lot of room for improvement! I get 20 mpg from my 3.0 4x4 xtracab when it's all tuned up...

How Do You Get 20mpg, I Averaged 16 With 32-11.5-15 And 13mpg With 31-10.5-15 And 13mpg W/ 35-12.5-15. I Cant Explain It. Everything Is In Good Order Though. My Mom Gets 16-17 Out Of Her Bone Stock 95 Runner W/ 3.0.

My Guess Is 1.3 Mpg Gain Im Gonna Win Ha Ha Ha

RPATOY: I don't know; it's been this way since I bought it except when the intake & O2 sensor got all plugged up with deposits (dropped to about 15-16 mpg) but it still ran good. I have another post on here with what I'm doing to it right now. I expect to be back up to 20+ when I'm done. When it had 92k on the odo, I got 22 mpg on an interstate trip!

I get at least 16-17 on my 4runner with little freeway time...I have 275/65r16 (31/32) tires not sure gearing (65 at 2700-3000 in 5th gear)I am sure it will be worse with new tires, roof rack, lights and everything else I want to do...

Damn the DOT! Damn the DOT to HELL!! lol
