11-14 in Wisconsin's winter...
15-20 in Summer...
Stock '91 4Runner 4x4, 3.0 auto, K&N filter and a bypassed knock sensor And bit's & pieces dropping off every day!

 

89 2WD reg cab shortbed, 22RE, 5 spd, stock except K&N air filter.
27-27.5 mpg mixed town/hwy

well, until I broke the frame last week, now its parked

 

I just calculated mine. I am getting 18-22 mpg. The truck in my sig with 153k miles.

 

15-16 MPG 50/50 driving mix.

 

88 4runner, 22re, 33's, 4.10 gears. Just came back from a 1600 mile Colorado to Utah trip including 300 miles in the maze district. Got 20.5 for the whole trip and 18 for the maze section (only 30 miles of pavement!) I get around 17 in the city but hopefully that will improve when I drop 5.29's in it.

 

94 4runner, 4" suspension 3" body lift, 33" bfg muds, 3.0Lv6 5speed, about 12 mpg in town

 

I just filled up the tank with nearly all city driving. for vehicle specs, see .sig below -- 15.3mpg

 

Was getting 14-15 mpg for the past several months. So I replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor button, air and fuel filters, and on my next tankfull I got 17 mpg. That's mostly around town, but some 55-60 mph 2-lane driving, too.

 

90' Pickup DLX 4x4
31x10.5/15 A/T tires
14-16 on the street
20-22 on the highway

 

You can read about my build--search hross14 (P0171......problem codes). The motor isnt stock but.....

And i know this sounds like a fish story but i did some preliminary mpg calculations and this is what i got

300 miles @ 13.64=21.99 MPG??

That doesnt sound right for 35's ....etc...I reset the trip odo so we will see what this next tank of gas gets....if this is the case--it is going to make my build that much better (better Return On Investment ROI)..... IF i were to correct for the 11% error on my spedo-meter it would be 320@ 13.64=23.46??? WTF (F stands for Fruit)

I will run this whole tank and see what i come up with. I hope i am right

EDIT:Ran a whole tank and this time i got 15mpg--knew it was to good to be true

 

Im getting 22.6mpg in an 86 longbed pick-up 22re and 35" tires with 5.29's. 16.5mpg loaded for camping.

 

Just took a long trip Washington to Texas. 75 to 80 MPH most of the way. 3.0v6 with 31x 10.50 15s. 18 t0 19 mpg even through all the mountains. oh 95 4runner with 250000miles now 253000miles

 

88 22re 4x4, 1200 miles on rebuilt engine, engnbldr 268 cam... 14city/17hwy. (drove for about 30 miles in the city, filled up, calculated, drove about 30 miles on the freeway, filled up, calculated). horrible or what?

 

Which one? The fuel economy or the way you checked it? You need to get an average over a minimum of several full tanks, not every 30 miles of driving.

Mine is still getting 27-30. I think the worst it got was ~24 a few months ago coming back from Barstow into a 40-50mph head wind.
