I last ran my tank on premium 93 octane with lucas injector cleaner and upper cylinder lubricant. and i got the most ive ever gotten. I have the 22RE and the tank is 17.2 gallons...Ran it until the fuel light came on (which means ~3 gallons is left in the tank) and then i put 3 more in it so that i could get an accurate read without sucking the tank completely dry. It was mostly city driving and the mileage came to around 380mi. I keep it tuned up well, I have a K&N filter and no muffler. and 31s.....so i dont know how that affects the odometer but surely not much. my speed is off by only a few mph.

Wow, my mileage isn't that great compared to you alls. 3VZ-E engine:

Best I've ever done was 270 highway (~75mph)
Normal is about 240-250 highway (~75 mph)

I usually put in a bit over 13 gallons per tank full.

I've never figured my city driving, maybe I'll do that next tank of gas.

Well, have fun all.
Daniel

I get on the throttle more than I really should so I see anywhere from 235-275 a tank which is anywhere from 15.5 to 18.5mpg.

Durning the week back and forth to work I get around 250-270 on a full tank. I can never put more than 14 gallons in the tank though.

My last tank I got 132 miles. 35" rollers and 4:10 gears suck! But then I found out I had a leak in the EGR system that sucks even worse. I can't wait to see what happens when I ommit some of the emisions stuff.

i get between 240 and 290 a tank depending on the type of driving i've been doing. don't quite run my tank all the way down...usually put in about 14.5 gallons. so, i get 16 to 21 mpg or so.

22RE 5-spd pickup with a cap on the bed and usually a couple hundred pounds or so of tools/spare parts in the bed.

don't forget, we don't all have the same size tanks...and, if you have bigger than stock tires or different gears, your odometer is prolly off a bit so you might get more miles than you think.

What advantage is there to figuring out mileage per tank? I hope nobody runs their tank near-empty to figure out their mileage. Dumb. Nothing like suckin up the crap on the bottom of the tank...

I calculate my mileage at every refill. Because I drive mostly back roads, gas stations are scarce, so I typically fill it sometime after it gets below 1/2 tank (usually about 12 gallons). I average 19.5 mpg this time of year. So, with an 18.1 gallon tank that would work out to 353 miles/tank (which is meaningless to me).

Well i put in ~14 gallons the other day, and off that i got about 240 miles. Does anyone know if that is good for my year/mileage? Also, what could I do to bump that up a bit? As far as I know, the truck has original everything(including, but not limited to axle fluids, fuel filter, and as far as I can tell, no maintenance on the engine/injectors or anything, EVER).

If your numbers are accurate, you're only getting a little over 17 mpg, which is lower than any of my last 24 fill-ups have gotten me. My minimum mpg was 17.5 and my best was 23.9.

Wow...what are your driving habbits? I've been calculating my MPG on each fill up, and recently my best was a little over 17 mpg. Have a 00 4Runner 2WD 2.7 auto. I don't drive fast or accelerate hard. Something just doesn't seem right...

Stock 3.0 usually stop-and-go driving, I start looking for gas around 230-240 miles. I average 16 mpg. Best mileage I ever got on a trip was 19.

i started out at 18-19 mpg on a 97 w/ 2.7 4cyl. After seafoam it stayed the same initially, then went up about 1 mpg a month. I'm finally up to 21 mpg, so around 300miles at 14 gallon fill-up

Averaged just a shade over 15 miles/gallon with latest fill up. I got an 88 Runner with the 3.0, Automatic Tranny.

This was mostly stop and go/ in town driving.
