I get 18-20 unless i REALLY have my foot in it, in which case it drops to about 15.

 

Some of the differences could be due to auto vs. manaul trannies.

Boy I wish I was getting as good gas milage as some of you. I have been driving 'Snowball' for a few days now and she is just drinking the go juice too fast. I figure I'll get 190 miles out of this tank. Of course she sat for about 5 months with a full tank of gas/stabil mix yes the gas is old. I was getting 240 +~- miles out of a tank of gas before and that is with 4.10 gearing and 35" rollers.

 

18mpg

33", 4.10s, and 5sp

Mix of highway and city. I take it easy though, no hard acceleration.

 

Wow, I must be way out of tune.

Next paycheck is getting wires, cap, rotor, timing check, fuel filter, air filter and Warn hubs.

You guys getting high teen MPGs suck, and I want to join your club.

Does it make you feel better to say 3 point O????? It's not a Mustang.

Any ways I get around 17 with an auto and at 7000 ft.

 

i've done as high as 19.8 on the road recently, after the hubs. in town i'm at 16.5ish with 'em instead of (eek) 14.9 or so.

FUNNY! That was my first thought as well...

 

...no! Not TOO beat to death....

....this subject has had the living $h!t beat out of it...

We're now beating the crap out of the children of the GHOSTS of this subject..

 

I've found the poll to be quite interesting.

 

i agree. i hate that i only get 12 MPG. i got 18-19 on my trip to tahoe but that was all freeway. in the city is where i do 99.9999% of my driving and i get 12.5 MPG.

 

With stock tires I was getting about 18mpg with my 92, 3.0, auto trans. I had a 90, exact same setup but manual trans and I could get 20 if I took it easy.

Since I put on the mud tires on my 92, mileage has dropped to 15, but that was only the 2nd tank and I did some off roading on both tanks. So I don't have highway only figures. But these figures may be off also because the speedo is off due to the larger tires. Plus I have been offroading on every tank of gas since I bought it so I don't have a full tank of only highway miles.

 

average 19.5, low end 18.0, high end 21.5. This only holds if I keep under 70mph, Highway mostly with some town.

 

Bought my 95 on Mother's Day, funny thing about holidays, I bought my 2K Celica on Valentines's Day 2003, but I got 18.5 on my first full tank. 5 speed manual, completely stock, nothing modded yet and I shift around 3-3500K on the tach, no hard acceleration. O2 sensor went out and drove about 1/2 a tank with bad sensor. Replaced, finished tank and got 17. This is around town commute back and forth to work 26 miles a day. Will let you know what I get on my 1200+ mile trip to SoCal next month. If I can get 20+ I'll be happy! Wanna make my daughter jealous as she drives her Expedition down with me!

 

I have been keeping close track of my mileage lately as I'm starting to really fix up my '91 4Runner. Over the last 6-7 tanks, I have gone from 17 to a max of 19.7 mpg. I would say that I am about split evenly between highway/city, but I wonder if altitude would affect it? I am only at 4000ft, but still. Anyway...

Is it nerdy that I have a spreadsheet for this??? lol

 

DOUBLE nerdy...

...but I like it!

 

how many of have a truly accurate ODO though?

last 600+ mile trip mostly on higway was around 17.

32" tires with gps corrected odo...

 

I have not read the full thread yet, but make sure you factor in the effect if you are running larger tires with gearing for the smaller ones. This will give you less miles on the odometer for a tank of gas, so you have to add from 8% to 10% to the odometer reading to get the miles per gallon. If you drive with the ECT on, this will lower mileage.

I get around 17mpg if im light on the foot with an automatic and 30" tires geared for 28". My mileage is at least 70% interstate. The more interstate miles you travel, the better the mileage. Its hard to keep the 3.0L auto in 3rd or overdrive in town with the Torque converter locked up. Also keep in mind that the faster your speed, the worse your mileage. I keep my speed right around 60mph for best economy.

 

My upgrade to 32"s created a 6% odometer error. When it says 100, I have gone 106, not much of a difference.

I've been getting around 17 mpg's. More highway than usual. When I do nothing but short trips in town.....I'm lucky if I get 10 mpg.
