1988, freshly rebuilt motor, 4x4, 5 speed manual. stockish 223/70/R15 tires.

i get about 20/21 MPG city(Estimated... might be more, might be less.). i go for two weeks, then i gotta fill up again, going to work and back, which is around the corner.. 11 miles both ways from my house to work.

 

99 4runner limited 4x4, 31 tires, no front bumper at the moment, 17mpg, 5vz-fe

 

changed my ECu 2 weeks ago (old one wasn't reading O2 sensor), and moved from 14-15 mpg avg. to 18 mpg. Yeah!

 

How did you figure it wasn't reading the O2 sensor?

 

When I bought the runner, the CEL light was on, and the PO said that was the problem-he even had someone try to 'repair' the ECU and all they did was f@#$ up the thing. I ran the codes(26) to confirm for myself, and between myself and mechanic, we eliminated all the other possibilities. Visually the there was heavy black exhaust smoke too. I borrowed an ECU to check and the CEL light went out along with all that heavy black smoke. So I went ahead and bought a used ECU from a yotatech member and voila: no more CEL light, no more black smoke. Hope i wasn't too longwinded.

 

1989 extended cab pickup truck 22re 5 speed 4x4 locking hubs stock intake everything is stock 16 mpg in town 23.3 on the interstate

Quote: Dude, no offence meant, but the metric system isn't the work of "socialists". Oddly enough, it's a system based on certain logical, scientific standards. Such as 100 centimeters to one meter. There are 1000 meters to a kilometer. Zero celcius is freezing, 100 celcius is boiling.

Not quite as quaint as the 12 inches equals one foot deal, and three of them to a yard. Then there's 5280 feet to a mile. Or freezing at 32 farenheit and 212 degrees for boiling.

Nice system.

And by the way, I get roughly 12.5 liters per 100 kms. Which would be approximately 22.6 miles per Imperial gallon, or 18.82 miles per US gallon.

As you can see in my sig line, I'm running a 3.4 liter engine with 265/85R15...er, 33"x10.5"x15" tires.

My calculations also show that 8 out of 24 posts, as of this writing, are by Canadians, giving you 33.3% (or 1/3) of the posts from Canada, not the 90% you claim. Don't forget the 1 guy from Belize, which is not part of the US.

haha way to show everybody whats up. im american... and i really do hate our system. everything in metric is done by halves, single integers,and tens, whoo now thats complicated for a 2 year old. i know guys in their fifties that cant figure out how to divide a fraction in american standard by 2. 5/16 divided by 2 = 5/32. all you gotta do for that is multiple the bottom number by 2. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32. metric is simpler tho. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. god its so freaking simple! but why is it that we cant switch over? well johnny drives a chevy, ted drives a ford, and they all have standard wrenches. it would be a shame to just switch all of a sudden. even tho both johnny and ted have two sets of metric wrenches each.

 

GAME, SET, MATCH!
Well played sir!

OK No more antagonizing. lol

My 3.0 auto with stock gears and 32x11.5 rocked 18-20 mpgs last fill up =)

 

Guys over 50?Ouch!That hurt.

[QUOTE=Badger62811;51765209]I always get better mileage when I'm towing..

And why is this for most people? Because rolling flat or downhill is easier withthe extra rolling g weight. And... you drive more conservative and slower MPH wise usually. Not try to accelerate so quickly...

I don't know why peoples don't just try this all the time. There would be less ppl whining about getting 13 to 15mpg.... stop trying to make your trucks go faster with yet foot. And stop driving over 55. The keys to getting 18+ mpg

 

Well thank you for that lesson. Although I find it filled with fun facts, I don't totally agree. If that were all true, then why do I get 13-15 mpg when towing with my Durango vs 18-20 mpg when I'm not?

Sorry... I'm not trying to be rude. I've been finding myself being that way on here a lot recently. Maybe I should read this at the beginning of the day instead of the end.

 

I think the towing remark was too the effect that... you drive more sedately with something heavy rolling behind you, and don't bother to floor it off the line all the time.

Also, 18-20mpg in a stock 3.0 AUTO?! Holy smokes, nice! Did you account for the larger tires + stock gearing... meaning you've actually gone FURTHER than your odometer indicates? Regardless, nice numbers.

For the record: 3.0, manual, 5.29 gears, 32x11.5... 14mpg city, 18mpg highway. And I thrash it in the city. I like hearing the tires bark.

 

Ya, you should see the smog results that i got in jun, this motor is burnin flippin clean. I have a pic of the results in my build thread.

No, I honestly did not account for the larger tires etc so yes my odo would be a smidge off lol

 

Welp, I'm jealous. It seems I've got some work to do on this weezy...

Might help if I stop that brutal exhaust leak between the cat and muffler. It seems to have eaten the steel (?) O-ring somehow... rattles like all get out. I thought it was my valves the first time it started up!

This truck loves to test my patience. Never lets me down, just likes to make sure I'm keeping up. lol.

 

I have an 87 4runner manual 22re with 33x12.5's. I'm getting 19 on average.

 

85 yota with 31 inch tires and stock gears. Has 22r with 32/36 weber - I get 23 mpg on the freeway with a little city mixed in...I'll take that all day long. Don't drive in the city, it's my weekend trip rig.

 

7 to 10 mpg but that's what happens when you drive it like you stole it !! it gets great fuel mpgs when it idles haha

 

1986 4Runner with 35" tires, 5.29s, ARBs and get an almost perfect 17.2-17.4 mpg every tank.

The engine is a bit tired and compression is towards the low end of the spec, but it still runs good.
