I live in the colorado mountain and average about 20 with lots of city driving and 23 highway at 75-85 and going over mountain passes at high rpms which is far better than what most people are posting, 93 4runner 3.0 5spd stock with 3 31x10.5 desert duelers and one (front left) completely different tire with 30% more tread.

 

Wow I feel great about my mpg now, 91 SR5 4x4 v6 with the ac blowing non stop, 31" tires and 211k mi on the odo. No engine work besides the head recall. 21mpg

 

just wanted to say that the person complainin "boot" metric sytem is undereducated bout americans..we use a different system for talkin and construction with small projects and various things but any college educated engineer can tell you "boot" somethin called the engineer"s scale. if you dig deep enuff and know wut america is really about mechanically you will find that this country's best minds have always used 10ths ,hundreths ,etc..as a former land surveyor i used to laff at the dumb contractors who couldnt figure it out and then id learn from the good contractors who know wuts up...metric and other types of measurements are and have always been the best..every buildin snd machine built in this country uses it[at design and later stages to a degree] and then converts any details later down in the production process for our tender sensibilities...i personally advocate all types of systems for fertile growing of minds..its people like you who cant stop to be polite and are threeatened by wut you dont know that confirms the worlds stereotypes on us americans..then cuz yer too lazy to learn ALL the systems in the world or ask questions you strut and act proud of yer -selfishness .well its thin as a piece of see-thru lace to me bud [your alibi...or anything you can say now].....however a good canadian would add some conversion numbers to his post for those americans here who resemble excited apes when they encounter something they dont know..soicialism is actually a good thing too btw ..i think you were refering to totalitarian communism where your underpants are screened for anytrace of fun by the secret police..but i digress ,,everyone loves a know it all..hehe

 

88 4runner 3.0-auto w/no mods and around 120k
33's & 5.29's
Recent tune-up
Last two tanks have been around 15.5 mpg and thats about 50/50 hwy/city

 

1989 4 Runner 22RE.. Auto. 177000 mi..32x11.50.. Matched injetors.. lil head work.. stock gears.. 80% highway 20% city get just under 20 mpg..

 

2.4 liter efi with xtra cab, carpet shell. All stock except the hole I cut in the airbox .
My average for the last year; hwy/city/loade/unloaded WAS: 23.8 mpg.

I consciously started driving slower around town and keeping hwy speed under 70 (most of the time) and the last 12 fillups have all been:
26mpg range.

 

1. 1991 Toyota pickup 4x4, V-6, 5spd., 4.10's, 33x12.50 tires. I drive it 80% city and 20% highway. I get around 15 mpg.

2. 2004 Tacoma 4x4 TRD crew cab, V6, auto., 4.10's, 31' tires. 17 mph around town and 18 mpg doing 80-85 on the interstate.

 

'94 2WD - infinite MPG

(It's an electric conversion - I use it around town and to get me into the woods to cut firewood. It has ~40 miles range at 40 miles per hour and gets around 3 miles per kwhr electricity.)

 

.10 = kwhr = 3 miles
1 mile = .033 cents

$ 3.65 = gallon
20mpg = 3.65

20 x .033 = .70 cents

20miles = $.70 cents electric
20miles = $3.65 gasoline

If your numbers are right this is very nice. Got any photos or a write up of your conversion?

 

18.6mpg as per last fill up, that's combined city/highway.

 

In my stock 4th Gen Runner 4.0 SportEdition 4x4 can get 22 in town and 32 hwy both taking it very easy. I typically get 17 in town and 23 hwy but that's driving heavy footed.

Also have a 1986 4Runner 22RE, Auto 4x4. Just bought and currently driving while restoring. Not sure about mileage but I know I am getting decent mileage.

I'll try to post pics soon.

 

24 on the freeway doing 75 with 31x10.50"s on stock gears with a 22re, straight piped 2.5" with header and 3" intake tube with high flow filter.

 

25 mpg highway on 2wd 22re

 

I HAVE 31x10.5x15 TIRES, 3.0L V-6 AND A CUSTOM INTAKE BUILT BY J@J CUSTOM INTAKE AND MY MILAGE WENT FROM 16 MPG AVERAGE TO 19MPG AVERAGE. I HAVE ALSO INCREASE MY POWER FROM STALLING WHEN I DROP THE CLUTCH TO SPINNING THE TIRES AND LAYING RUBBER FOR 15-20FT. I AM PLEASEED WITH WHAT THEY BUILT.

 

It came with his turbo'd transmission

 

1988 4Runner, v6 5sp, 31" BFGs, 286,000 miles stock gears, timing advanced to 15 BTDC

Just took a trip from Seattle to Portland about 200 miles each way. Going down I did about 70 the whole way. 17.5 mpg

On the return trip I kept my speed at 60 and got 22 mpg. Damn it! Fast isn't free!

 

Very interesting. Nearly identical stats and I do 70-75 to work. It's a 16 mile trip one way. I do avg 16mpg or so. I'll turn it down this next tank and see what I get. Do you know what rpm you were at for both speeds?

 

10 to 11 MPG if i am lucky 200 miles a tank. I have 1994 Pickup extra cab SR5 4x4 3.0l Auto. 3 inch crappy lift 33in tires. stock gearing of 4.875. Newly rebuilt motor top and bottom. What can I do to improve this???

 

hahahah owned.
