Hey Guys,

An mpg update,...I have'nt been able to do much with the truck, for the last 2 weeks.

I also can't seem to keep every one else, from using it,.. it is the shop truck after all.

The truck has been returning, 22-24.5 mpg's, almost all city, for the last 2 tanks of fuel. I cant seem to break 25, but I only drive it about half of the miles.

So My nephew AJ (breaker of stuff ), has used the truck alot in the last few days, and brought it back on below E this morning, so I decided to, hook up the egr,.. run it out of gas,.. then add exactly, 1 gal., and see what I could get it to do mpg wise. Ya I know....I'm bored.

Anyway, I put 2 gas cans and the jump pak, in the truck, and went off to run out of gas, it did'nt take long, till it started to sputter, and run out. On level road.

I then added exactly 1 gallon of gas, and drove off, to run out again!

Well,.. Your not gonna believe this,..but I just drove 37.2 miles on less then 1 gal. of gas, and the truck is still running!,.. I accellerated slowly, avoided late braking, and timed red lights so I would'nt have to stop as much. Most driving was at 52-55 miles per hour, with the motor running at 2000-2100 rpm's, starting and ending point, were the same place, so wind is not a factor.

I'm running non LT, 265/75/16's @45 lbs pressure.

I looked up the 97', epa ratings for a Camaro, equipped with 3800, 5 sp man, and it's hwy rating is 30 mpg!

I'm going to see if I can squeeze, another 3 miles out of it, we'll see. If You see Me on the side of the road, just Wave.

Thanks, Kiwi

edit; I ended up with 41.5 mpg, before it died.

 

Im inbetween 8 and 10 mpg.

 

93 pickup 22re/5spd
4.88's
33" MT claws
lock-rights front and rear
2.5" magnaflow exhaust
19mpg commuting on rural roads to work

Back when it was on 31's with 4.10's I drove from NJ to NV and got between 18 being the worst and 22 being the best. The 22 was actually through the rockies where I was in 3rd and 4th gear most of the time. I guess 22r's are more fuel efficient revving higher in 50mph then flat out 80mph in 5th.

 

I have gotten 26 on the freeway going west at 65 over snoqualmie pass. going east at 75 or so up hill i got 21. in the city i get 13-16mpg

 

'85 SR5 Shortbed Pickup

ALL stock.
Around 19-22 mpg daily driving (For me thats city and highway mixed) but my timing is ed and I haven't had time to fix it, so I'm pretty sure I could get better. I've got the original certificate from the Toyota dealership sitting right next to me (Truck was my dads first vehicle, now it's my first ) and it says 22mpg city and 25mpg highway and oh wow...$1.25 a gallon for gas haha. We'll see about that one but for the most part my mileage hasn't changed since the truck was brand new.

Long live the 22RE

 

'91 4Runner, 3VZE, Auto, BFG All-Terrain Trail TA's, 31X10.5.....mix between around town and hwy driving, I get between 14 & 15MPG.

I guess it's normal for this truck, but it's pretty poor. I guess when you consider that the 3Slow in a Runner is totally underpowered it makes sense.

I have an old '87 Cherokee that has the 4.0L straight 6 in it and it gets 18, light truck though.

 

'89 4x4 ext.cab w/22re and AT/31-10.5x15= 19-21 mpg mixed driving

'99 " " " w/3.4 and AT/265-75x15=17-19 mpg mixed driving

'06 Corolla w/ 1.8 and AT/ teeny-weeny tires=35-37 mpg

 

88 4runner 3.0, 31x10.5, 4.10gears, automatic

a whopping 11-12mpg

 

91 PU 22re stick shift; bone stock accept for custom intake and 31 10.5 streeters; averages about 16mpg with mixed driving; could probably stretch it further if I didn't have a heavy right foot, lol

 

22 mpg mostly I-5 miles. Stock everything, besides 06 Taco wheels. K&N Air filter.

$4.23 a gallon in so-cal.

 

im averaging 415miles to a tank all highway and about 300 when normal highway/city mix so thats 17city 23 highway i was runnning 31s and now ill be runnning 33s so ill be looking back at my numbers after about a mth to see the results if it drops too bad ill regear
oh by the way i have a 3.0 auto isr mod advanced timing (12degrees) and 488 gears

 

15-16 city, 18-23 highway. stock except for Flowmaster 40Delta. 265/70/16 tires. fuel injector cleaner every now & then. soon to put airaid MIT with k&n dropin or trueflow with deckplate.

 

'91 pickup 5 speed 3.0, about 19-21 mixed driving, 17 at 85 mph. and 14 when i spend 3 hours at the border

 

12-14l per 100km driven.
16-20mpg I think.
Seems to be burnin' the same on the 38s and the 44s...

 

On a freshly rebuilt 22RE I managed 22mpg out of my first tank. This was being very easy on the go pedal and conserving whenever possible. 75% of the miles were highway 58-65mph. 5 Speed Manual. 86 4Runner.

Everything completely stock. 235/75/15 Michelin street tires.

 

1993 4runner
194000 miles
3 inch body lift
33x10.5R16 tires
3.slow v6
i get an average of 15.6 mpg

however before i got a flowmaster and 3 inch tail pipe i was getting abot 14. old muffler had holes in it

 

5 spd, 3.0, 31" at, enclosed trailer weighing less than 2000lb mixed driving.
Taking it nice and easy.
17mpg

Pretty happy with the results.

 

19 mpg with 31s and stock gears in a 22re

 

my accord usually gets about 28 in mixed driving, bias toward highway

averaged around 16-18, peaked at 21 in the 87 4runner, with 265/75/16's, bone stock 22re, and stock gearing... loaded with 4 guys and camping stuff
