Hey, I was wondering what other people with the 3.0 V6 are getting for fuel economy? I have a 91 ext. cab truck with a manual and am getting about 10-12 mpg with about half being freeway and half being in town. If this seems low what should I look at first for being the main culprit? Thanks for any input

 

From last week.

There is a lot of info already on this topic, but that is pretty low mpg. I am getting 18.2 mpg with 50/50 highway/city driving.

 

20-22 mpg when I had my 3.sl0w 4Runner w/manual tranny, mostly hilly backroads. It hadn't varied much in over 200,000 miles.

 

I've got a '93 XtraCab with the 3.0. In its early years, I could bank on 22 - 25 mpg in 50/50 driving. Now (145K-miles) I'm getting about 19 overall. Unless you're driving 'way too hard, your 10/12 mpg figure is definitely low.

 

17-19 very little highway driving.

 

Thanks for the input. I don't think I drive it very hard as it never sees 4k and unless I'm accelerating hard (freeway etc.) I shift before 3k. The freeway driving is done tailgate down at around 80 mph, and just normal in town driving. I take it offroad in mud or on gravel/dirt trails maybe once a week, should I check my O2 sensor or is there something else I should look into first? Thanks

 

I'm getting 16.5 - 18 MPG average 50/50.

Just got 18.7 MPG mostly highway 80-90 MPH

I increased my mileage signifcantly by adjusting the flap tension in the AFM. Of coure, check the obvious first.

11-12 in town,17-19 hwy.90 3.0 auto 4x runner.

 

i have a 92 xtra cab 3.0 4wd and on the factory sticker (i still have it) it rates the truck at 13 in the city and 17 on the highway. i bought the truck with a blown motor a couple of weeks ago and replaced the motor last week. it runs great but im averaging between 12-14

 

I get 21 - 23 MPG's Even before I did the mods & R&R I got this type of MPG's! I run 31" tires, but I also run at 35+ psi most of the time. In the winter I air down to 25 - 30 psi when I'm in 4wd and we get a lot of snow, at which time I get around 16 - 19 mpg!

 

I'm gettin 16-17mpg (65-70 mph)highway, and I don't wanna even think 'bout aroundtown....

 

I was getting about 230 to the tank but now I am getting like 210.I hate this 91.My 87 22re with 33's and a bad motor gets better mpg's than this thing.I live in the mountains too so hills EVERYWHERE!

 

yah 19+ mpg and i'm still learning not to drag race other cars and let them pass by.

 

I just got 16 so thats an improvement and I hope it stays there, but that was with alot of coasting etc trying to save fuel
