1988 4Runner 3vze3 5sp 31x10.5x15 BFG AT
Just added an ISR, new plugs and set timing to 12 degrees BTDC.
Did a trip from Seattle to Portland. Averaged 66 mph @18.5 mpg. On the return trip, I tried to maintain an even 65 mph and got 20.5 mpg.
Typically average 17mpg in mixed driving.

 

What is an ISR? What is the timing set at from the factory? I have a 1994 3.0 VZ-E with the same setup except it is automatic transmission. I am trying to get more fuel efficiency out of mine. Your help would be great.

 

1987 4X4 pickup w/ 22re and stock tires city use 24mpg highway 25-26

 

95 4Runner, 3.0 with a rod starting to knock, 117k, 31's, 14mpg city.

 

1990 v-6 sr5 4x4 auto tranny w/overdrive 31 inch tires no lift
12 mpg average in 70% city
17 mpg just highway

 

1990 ex-cab, 5-speed, 31bfg's with hell for stout front bumper, rear bumper, headache rack, and sliders out of 1/4"wall 2X6 rectangle tubing, running a 3.0 with 305,450 miles without a rebuild, downey K & N intake, cat back 2.5 inch exhaust, and all amsoil products.... on the highway with cruise control at 75 mpg it gets 16 to 17 with the a.c. unit on. Its got the 30mm Downey front torsion bars and the deaver leaf springs in the back so there is plenty of clearence for the 31's.......so with all the extra weight and the areodynamics of a cinderblock I guess that aint bad.

 

1993 22re 4x4 truck with leaking manifold gasket/ no gasket under the manifold connecting to downpipe, downpipe had two leaking welds, no gaskets either side of the cat = 16 MPG mixed

New manifold, manifold gasket, put in gaskets under the manifold to the downpipe, new downpipe, new gaskets in front and behind of the cat = 16 MPG

New k&n airfilter/ NGK v-power sparkplugs = 16 MPG mixed

Oil change to synthetic w/ marvel mystery oil =16 MPG mixed

Lucasoil fuel treatment, cleaned the throttle body, changed oil in the manual tranny = 16 MPG mixed

(same route every day)

i think im gonna do the O2 sensor and new plug wires and if i still get 16 im just gonna accept it.

 

ya but i bet its a more peppy 16 mpg, add some more air in tires?

 

yea shes definatly got some pep, but id like to get low to mid 20s. im 80% sure the O2 sensor is the culprit, guys from work says its really rich smelling when they were driving behind me

edit: im running 34 psi in my tires all around

 

well im pullin about 7MPG with a 1989 V6 5spd ex cab 4x4. 4" IFS lift and some 33s. i think my O2 sensor may be a problem but i havent had a chance to try swapping i tout yet. the 7 is killin my wallet...

 

I went to my mother's ranch for 4July weekend. I got 18mpg both ways (all highway driving).

Considering that the speedo is about 10% off on the low side (compared to the GPS), that means I actually got 20mpg.

 

i got a 92 pickup xtra cab i have the procomp 5 in lift and 4 in blocks and 33 in goodyear mtrs. ever since i put the mtrs on i got ty as hell gas mileage but i tweaked the afm 1 click leaner and went from getting 200 to 220 to a tank then to 200 on just over a half a tank

 

93 4runner 5spd 22re 4x4 33x12.5mt 3" lift avg. 19 mpg i can get 23-24 if mostly interstate

 

how do you adjust the AFM?

 

89' 4Runner with a 22re A/T on 31" tires stock running gear. I'm getting around 23mpg.

 

94 ext cab 3.0 ,31.10.5-15 mud tires, cat back exhaust, 8mm spark plug wires, no a/c, electric fan. i get 15mpg city and 19mpg hwy

 

31 MPG.

I have a 1988 4WD Toyota Pickup with a stock 22RE and 5-speed. I just got done checking my gas mileage. I filled my gas tank all the way up just before it overfilled. Then I drove between 45 and 50 MPH on a highway about 50 miles and turned around and back tracked. I went to the same gas pump and filled it up the same amount. I used 3.3 gallons to drive 103 miles, which is about 31mpg. My speedometer and odometer are perfectly accurate (verified by timing exactly 60 seconds to go between mile markers at indicated 60mph). I average about 20mpg around town. This same driving method got me 50MPG out of my 1993 Honda Civic LX sedan and 70MPG out of my 1998 Honda Nighthawk 750 motorcycle. The trick is to have a very steady foot on the gas peddle. You'll loose speed going up hills and accelerate down them. It's simple really, the more the gas peddle is depressed, the more gas the engine uses.

 

Ummm...I'll be the first to call you out on that one. You're telling me you're getting about ~175 more miles out of a tank of gas just by clicking one click leaner on your AFM? No. Sorry, but that's just not possible for a number of different reasons. If you are telling the truth (doubtful) it has little/nothing to do with the "click" you did.

 

So you have the only 1988 Toyota in the world that has a "perfectly accurate" speedometer? I'd bronze that truck.
