I have to budget, so I generally pop $35-40 in for pushwater, which gets me to 3/4 tank on the gauge. That lasts me 4 days, and on average I drive approx. 20 miles per day. It prolly doesn't help I have a really bad exhaust leak from the exhaust manifold. Needless to say, i'll keep it for the arctic winter driving, and i'm going to get a grand prix for summer later this week.

i ran the trail gear heavy duty springs. and its a 1 finger driver still. it handles really well still, even going down the highway. but it seems like 350 is way to more then actual weight. seems like when i looked it up it was only 200lbs heavier then stock v6. witch is really only a good sized person. i went and weighed it after the motor swap with a full tank of fuel and me in the truck and it was under 6k it seems like. the slip is in the glove box ill have to look again.

93 22RE 5 speed

Cooling fan stuck on, passenger hub stuck locked in, gas cap missing, slipping clutch and timing floating around from missing guide. Still managed 21.6. More than happy with that. Put a gas cap on, clutch is going in tomorrow, and next weekend is timing and hopefully free up the fan while it's off. Should help significantly.

I got the chance to drive very very slow in my 94 Pickup. hubs locked but not engaged, 4" lift, 33's, stock 4.10 gearing, 22re, driving 60 on the highway... I got exactly 250 miles on my tank of gas. So like 17mpg.

Driving fast and "normal" , 70 on the highway.. like 125-150 miles on a full tank. Sigh...

My new-to-me 95 V6 5SPD. I hit 15.15 MPG, 31s with 4:56, I drove a couple miles before resetting the trip-ometer, I made sure to not do that this time Also, that is a mix of highway, town, 4H and 4L so hopefully it'll bump up a bit if I don't go wheeling.

That's a huge difference! Time to factor in Toyota time to your day.. Toyota time: The added time needed to get to your destination, especially when trying to save fuel. haha

89 regular cab Pickup, 214,000+ miles, 22re, 5 speed, 4x4, 31.10.50 BFG AT's and stock 4.10 gears. The math on my last tank of gas showed 23.5 mpg, but i just replaced my TPS last week (I've been driving in safe mode for about a year and a half with a bad TPS since I bought the truck) and I've gotten more out of this tank of gas this week than I have before. I'll post updates once I do the math on the next fill-up.

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.
I know I'm quoting a 5 year old post, but I just gotta say...I like this cat.

I have a 91 regular cab 4X4 with 235 tires. The Knock sensor is gone so I know that will retard my timing 10 degrees and possible richen the fuel (both not good on fuel milage) and I am not sure when the last time the oxygen sensor was replaced and injectors rebuilt. The truck is showing 200,000 but was told from previous owner it was not the original engine. I installed new plugs 3,000 -4,000 miles ago and recently replaced the air filter, fuel filter, plug wires, Distributor cap and rotor. The last 2 times I have filled the truck up I got 23 mpg. My question is this possible with the missing knock sensor or is my odometer or math off??

95 sr5 3.0 3vz-e 33 tires 2" lift 209,138 miles drove her home from Lincoln nebraska over 400 miles to my house got right at 15 mpg doing 75. Now it's all I can do to run 65 on the highway pedal to the floor, climbing a big Hill got to down shift out of od and hammer the gas, drive 12 miles a day to and from work half country road half town driving on a good tank I'll get 7 to 9mpg. Got to fill up every week at around 50 bucks s tank. Changed out plus and wires changed air breather. Next gonna tackle the exhaust and try the sea foam trick. Still just a bit better than my 01 Dodge with 35s and 4"lift that 100 bucks every other week

I recently did a fill up and complete run out with my 95 toyota pickup with 33's, stock gearing, 301544 miles and I ran a tank for 245 miles. I'm not sure what the entire capacity of the tank is, I did find out that my light doesn't work, and I can be on or below E for about 20 miles.
