My "new to me" 1990 2WD Base 4 speed 22R gets about 20 MPG. It desperately needs a tune up. I plan on doing most of it this weekend (fuel filter, oil, plugs, dist, rotor, wires, air filter and anything else I can think of). The PO had the carb rebuilt but this thing really studders and has a mean hesitation. I don't think a whole lot was done to this over the last few years except the bare minimum.
I really hope I don't have to rebuild the carb.. that is one intimidating looking job.

in the summer going 60mph a lot, i get 19.5 mpg. driving 5 miles to school in morning, i get 16.5mpg on my tank. going 55 for extended times with top off, i can get up to to 24 mpg. I have an 85 4runner with 35 inch mickey thompson mtzs and 5.29s and just a 22re with a cam and headers. And I do make up for the tire difference with a calculator.

Im disappointed by my MPG... 19.25 MPG 323.3 miles to the tank 65MPH, St. Louis to Chicago.
3.0 Auto, 4.88, 31x10.50x15, FRAM air filter, Mobil 1 HP (15k oil changes) & Purolator PureONE filter, perf. cams, headers, 2.25" exhaust, CherryBomb Turbo, Bosch O2 sensor.
I really thought I would do better, lol. But I do have a bad u-joint, maybe its causing bad MPG..

'83 4x4 short bed 22R 107K original miles, 31" BFG AT, 16 MPG average pre-Weber and premium unleaded, expecting >20 MPG after Weber and premium unleaded. Already notice a big difference with Weber and premium!

91 2WD 22RE, 215 75R 15 tires, 201K miles.
26.7 MPG over mixed freeway and city driving, and much of the freeway driving was @ 70+ miles per hour.
So I'm thinking if I stayed at 55-60 MPH, I should be able to get 30 MPG, but I don't have the patience for that.

142 miles to my last tank. Took me 9 days to use it up. No mpg factor. I dont care about mpgs, just what I get to a tank.
142, yes. Mind you, I have to let my truck warm-up for 15-20 minutes before I drive it if its been sitting for 2+ hours, even if its plugged in. We're in the -20F at night and negative teens during the day.
