How many mile's do you get?!

I was wondering how many mile's I get on a full tank of gas since everybody is talking about gas prices? From when my gas light comes on, too on again I only got 209 miles! It cost's me about $40 to fill and only last's 3 day. I know I am a "lead foot" but WOW! What is everybody eles getting, is that right for the 3.4 V6?

haha, i get 300mi/tank with my 3.0. averages to just above 19mi/gal. You got any mods on the engine? That could be sucking the gas down.

I get about 246-276 miles per 15 gallon fill-up with 'average' go-to-work driving...which means 20 miles each way comprised of 10-15 miles of 50-70 MPH traffic and the rest just start-stop 0-45 MPH stuff.

Nothing special on my 89K 3.0 - recent tune up, couple of tanks of Red Line fuel system cleaner, air box mod and not much else yet...working on a ISR mod but I don't have all the parts and tools yet.

Are they "stop & go" or freeway miles?

You are the second person to say you get good mileage at high altitude, TOMBO.

My mileage does not improve when I go to FLAG or similar.

Most miles I have gotten out of my 3.0 was 283 exact and I was really squeezing it.

On average, I get about 240-250 taking about 14 and change gallons to fill it up.

It's a dead given NX, with all that stuff on it, I'm surprised you even get what you get.

It was nice to talk about Toyotas, Toyotas, and more Toyotas.

Tech talk is never ending, great to hang out with the fellas for a few.

Lunch was tasty.

Too bad you couldn't make it, hopefully next time.

I'll race you.

Got 20 mpg in my 97 V6 last week, just driving normally and mostly in town. That was with low octane gas and with ECT on. 20 isn't much to shout about these days but I was happy to see it. Thinking the new K&N and fuel filter may have helped?

I drive in L.A. traffic and I get around 270 miles and fill up 15.5 gallons...that's with a supercharger too. Before supercharger and living in Denver Co, I was getting 220-240 per tank.
