Quick Gas Mileage Question
Hello,
I've got a 99 runner highlander edition with a 2nd gen S/C, 32 inch MTR's and OME lift. All fuel delivery, exhaust and cooling components are stock. My question is, what kind of mileage is anybody out there with a similar set up getting?? I get about 190 miles out of a tank before the fuel light comes on. Before the mods I was getting about 230-240 miles per tank. Any Help??

One thing off the top is that with the 32's, your odometer is going to be about 3% low (but your spedo will be dead on), so 190 miles is actually 196ish.
Mods wise, I think Fink was asking about any additional engine mods.
The 230miles were before the S/C, right? And how long has the S/C been on? I'd bet that a lot of the loss of mileage is coming from the new found fun under your right foot. Figuring that you're about 40 miles/tank below where you were, then you're talking about 2mpg or so. That's "normal" for a new S/C owner...
When you say that you used to get 230-240mpg, then you're noting that mileage at the same point when the light comes on, right?

I've had the S/C on for about 6 months now. After doing a search, I am now wondering if it has to do something with the winter gas. I noiticed that my mileage started to slip about a month ago or so, maybe when the gas companies began to switch??
