BOOOM.

d'oh!
lol. just dont go over the max on the sidewall, but the sidewall should never be used as a recommended air pressure. for my customers we always set the air pressure to what the manufacturer recommends, but I also go by the bulliten posted saying you need to increase air pressure when going from a P-metric to and LT-metric.

Going the speed limit on the highway...got 280 miles out of one tank. Impressed me! Although rather hard staying under the speed limit!

60% highway/ 40% city at about 500-550km per tank (of around 65L). Anyone know how to translate that into mpg?

1988 4Runner no mods. stock wheels, exhaust, and intake. 4cyl 5spd.

just made a trek to my folks last weekend and averaged 21mpg. first fill up 19 second fill up 21 and third fill up was 22mpg. not too bad i don't think. this was mostly freeway or 2 lane highway driving. so 55-70 miles per hour

22r with Weber carb
Mid range cam
Slightly higher than stock pistons
3 angle grind on valves
timing: 9 degrees BTDC
Mileage: 23 Hwy, City: Unknown
truck spends majority of it's life in the dirt, and the mileage should change when the correct jets for my altitude are installed in the Weber. Also, no lift, 32's, and 4.56 gears.

'88 pick up w/ flatbed
- 20 mpg w/ stock 22RE - 32x11.5x15 tires and 4.88 gears - 1.5" lift
- 20 mpg w/ 22RE from an '84 - same tires, gears lift as above - double row
timing chain - P&P head / intake - 10.5:1 forged alum pistons, balanced &
blueprinted - Crane Mild Cam

'88 4runner
-20 mpg w/ stock 22RE - 31x10.5x15 tires and 4.56 gears
-17 mpg w/ 3L 7MGE from a Supra - 31x10.5x15 and 4.56 gears towing 3,500
lb enclosed trailer cross country
-20 mpg w/ 7MGE - 32x11.5x15 tires and 4.56 gears

all these are +/- 1 mpg which can just be attributed to driving habits or highway vs. stop / go driving. I've never really noticed much improvement on a whole tank highway driving, I think it's because both trucks have all the aerodynamics of a flying brick
