If that happens, please kill me....

 

I've been keeping track of it since 2/06 on fueleconomy.gov

96 4runner, stock height, 16" Michelin LTX M/S, deckplate, 173,384 miles
Average since '06: 18mpg
Last: 19mpg
Best was in the Colorado mountains: 22.2mpg

We have 10% ethanol here.
Tire pressure makes a relatively big difference in the numbers.

 

I get about 20-22mpg on the highway with a stock 22re and 33x12.5 swamper tsl radials and 4.88 gears

 

Hey Guys,

VERY, prelimanary mpg figures; 3 cold starts, about 35% city, the rest @55-60 miles per hour. Over 3 days.

88 miles, on 3.72 gals, = 23.65 mpg. same pump, same fill method.

This is with out any ECM mods, or EGR, believe it or not, EGR is good for MPG's. I've also got a few tricks Myself. We'll see.

I'ts VERY early, in the mpg game. But it is a good sign.

Thanks, Kiwi

 

HEAVY HEAVY 4Runner with 3VZE, manual tranny, 4.88's and 33x10.50 Dunlop RVXT at ~5000 ft altitude.

Last three tanks after fixing the O2 sensor wire:
19.9 MPG
16.7 MPG
20.5 MPG

 

i get 16-21 on my 3rd gen with 285 75r16 mud terrains .4 inch lift too.

 

4Runner in the sig, some mods but nothing that really matters to the mileage much - around 15.85 mpg highway & around 15 mpg city....maybe a little under.

 

1994 ex cab 22re. 32" BFG A/Ts. 20.1 MPG's around the city of burlington. not too different on the highway

 

22re with EB cam. 31 x10.5 r 15. Stock gears (5 speed). K&N intake (carb approved) Flowmaster exhaust. Top end rebuilt recently. New HG. 17.2 MPG.
That was with check engine light on (o2 sensor faulty).
Replaced o2 sensor... will repost later on!.

 

has any one tried that ethos stuff it is said to work great wondering if anyone heard anything about it before i buy it..

 

'91 V6' Runner. OEM, meaning no "mods" to all you manly men!

Sh** I get around 14-15 mpg city/highway. I drive very conservatively, i.e., not like a the normal leadfeet in this area. It sucks, but I don't think anything is wrong, it just guzzles. So be it. If I remember correctly, I didn't buy it 'cause it got great mpg.

 

84 Runner with 22r no engine mods, with 31x10.50's
I get average 16MPG mixed town/highway
that's a S***load better than my 69 Chevy V8 (park'd)

 

negative 50 miles per gallon? lol may as well be.. i usually get about 400km to a tank, i think she might need a tune up though!

 

haha you do have a point here

 

87 4runner 22RE 33" tires 4.10 gears i get about 12-14mpg in town and prob 16mpg on the highway. Beats my 60 Willys with a 350 V8

 

94 Pickup Extra cab. 22re 4:10s, 32x11.5 bfg ATs

23 interstate @ 70mph
20 city

 

Oh how I love the gas mileage threads.. I am constantly complaining about my mileage, to the point where i'm thinking about selling my 3.fail in lieu of a 22re...

95 4Runner SRV V6 auto - all stock except K&N Cold Air Intake.

250km / tank (65L) city. 9.00 mpg
350km / tank highway. 12.65 mpg

I just read the whole thread and this is among the worst I've seen and its a stock ride!!! Hopefully replacing plugs/wires/o2/fuel filter will help.. otherwise I'll have to give it up. Feel free to PM me any other advice...

Post Script:

There have been some anti Canadian / American posts in this thread. I would like to point out that although both sides have points, the Canadians did it with tact and IN MY OPINION the yanks just made themselves look stupid. How about next time you make a compelling argument, you base it on reason rather than emotion. If you keep living your life like that you'll end up like... oh wait...

 

With my 1995 4Runner - V6, 5 speed, stock gears and heavy ass bumpers and rock sliders I get a consistent 16 in the city. But it bumps up to an even 20 MPG on the highway. Makes a real difference once the truck is rolling.

I am running the Centerforce heavy flywheel which I really like and 33x12.5 Yokohama Geolanders.

 

OMG i got 18 MPG today! 147 miles on the trip, with my bigger tires it calculates out to 161 miles (this is actual comparrison with a GPS, not an online calculator). 8.9 gallons fillup. i put my tires at 40 psi in the front and 45 rear. normally I run around 35 psi all the way around but i work at a tire center and i read a publication saying that if you go from P metric tire (P225/75R15) to an LT metric tire you must increase you tire pressure 11 PSI to keep the same weight ratings, and always a minimum of 35 PSI. so ya, 18 MPG, sweet! normally i get 10-14

PS, Emily said i must post that she is awesome (because she is). Don't ask.

 

Hmmmm.. so if more air pressure = better mileage then technically I could....


BOOOM.

d'oh!
