24.3mpg hwy/mountain/city with the A/C on. Auto with 4.10's and 32"X9.50. 1991 pickup truck with camper and weekend trip gear. And guess what else? with a 3.0!! of course this 3.0 is a 4cy turbo diesel, but it is a Toyota motor!

 

i used to get 190-200 miles to a tank which is 12.5. now im gettin like 225-240 a tanke and i didnt change anything except slowing down. i used to haul @$$ everywhere i went. like when i went to the beach i would cruise between 75 and 85. now i dont go over 70 but try to keep it between 60 and65. oh and i got my broken exaust fixed. thats like 2 free gallons of gas at every fill up. im stoked to take the smallest chunk out of those greedy bastards wallet! DOWN WITH THE GAS COMPANIES!!!

 

1986 Fourrunner, 5 spd, 4:88 gears, full spool in rear, 138,000 miles on motor & riding on 35'BFG MT's. And im getting an average of 18 city & 21 highway. And i drive her every day...

 

im to lazy to look thru every page to see if i contributed. if not....

1988 yota p/u 22re around 300,000 actual miles (original)
31x10.50x15 tires
steelie rims
IFS
18 in the city, 24 on the highway. (keeping RPMs below 2500) and max speed limit 65, but usually 55-60

14 in the city, 19 on the highway. (not caring about RPMs) and no max speed... usually between 70 and 90. tho when i run it at 90 it seems to get around 15 on the highway. havent tried it in the city (and dont want to)

 

1991 toyota 4x4 22re highway 24-28 city 23

 

1988 Xtra Cab 22RE 4X4 21mpg average. Engine is tired, leaks oil and burns, timing chain shot. 235/75/15 tires.

 

18.2 90% city last tank.

 

20.6mpg's on last tank. Refilled after only getting down to 3/4's full.

'86 22re 4rnr
4.10's
31x10.50 A/T's

 

87 4Runner ,22RE, 5 speed, 4x4, 170K

19 MPG city

23 MPG freeway

 

99 4Runner, 3 in lift, 33" Cooper STT's (Mud tire) @ 45psi, truck loaded with subwoofer, and a lot of extra crap inside, Auto-tranny, removed Yakima racks, 120# front steel bumper, ~100# in sliders and spare/carrier too...

~16mpg city, 18-19 hwy (driving 65, otherwise I get 16-17 mpg going 70-75)

Remember, weight is a large factor, every pound of rotational mass can be said to remove 10 pounds of weight (for comparison, just a rule of thumb)

also, in the road load equation for determining forces on a vehicle, velocity is squared concerning aerodynamic drag force on the car, so your velocity plays a HUGE role in force against car, and gas mileage...

Also, going 60-65 eliminates a lot of slowing down/speeding up since everyone just passes you, and you can just drive along at your speed without ever coming up on anyone... (In Michigan where speed limit is 70)

 

Latest tank = 18.6mpg Im pretty happy. Im still hoping to hit the 20mpg mark.

Me thinks my TPS needs adjustment(possible replacment) and I still need to replace that stupid friggin o2 sensor. There is no way to remove the old nuts/studs. Looks like its gonna be a costly fix...

 

I have a 95 land cruiser 245 thousand miles I have 34" tires Automatic. 13-14 in town 20-21 on the freeway. And I know your all going to say well it is your big tires that is screwing my calculations up. But I have a on board Garmin GPS that is nuts on. call bull ask me how? ask me how in private I don't want to take away from this thread

 

what is gas mileage

 

More like Feet Per Gallon eh?

 

i get about 17 to the gallon because i drive on alot of back roads minimal highway
