What kind of mpg in your 3rd gen?
#22
00 5 speed sport, stock except the supercharger, trd7th, deckplate, and isr.
Im getting a consistant 21mpg, city and highway mix, last tank I got 23, but there was more highway than city driving.
who'd a thought the supercharger would get me BETTER gas mileage??

I was getting about 15mpg average, almost all highway miles, 25 each way to/ from work. But that was driving at 80mph with the cruise on. Bought a ScanguageII for the heck of it. It takes a couple of tanks to dial in the mpg feature. Now that I can see my mpg drop in near real time (2 sec delay) I'm much easier on the throttle. Now I stick between 70-75 and get 17-18 mpg. Running mobil1.

I usually get an average of 19.3 mph (I keep stats every fillup).
But with the Winter formulized gasoline that the Enviro-wackos forced upon us ever winter, I am now getting just over 17 mpg.
That's a 12% decrease in mailage because of Federal regulations.
'99 3.4 liter automatic. 293,000 miles, daily driver.

got about 275 miles out of a 16.5 gal tank before getting low enough to finally fill up... after alcohol injection, was easily getting 315-325 miles with a 3gph nozzle!
SC'd and all the goodies, stock suspension/drivetrain, 5-speed = 19.9mpg no matter what, if I keep the pedal to the floor I can get it down to about 19.2mpg but always right there at 20mpg... has almost 150k on the original motor...
4runner plus alcohol injection + 3vze + ISR = 17.8mpg right now...

16~21mpg, but with the winter gas and all the folks shopping this week, not as quite as good.
3.4, 4wd, new Revo 2s, no lift but Bilstein HDs, Pennzoil Ultra, Redline, and Mobil 1 oils.
The 3 greastest MPG improvement aids IMHO were new NGK double tip plugs and wires, new fuel filter, and a new ECT sensor....

I'm getting between 19 and 20 with no regear somehow. New spark plugs, air filter, throttle body and maf cleaning, and all new fluids within the last year help I suppose. Oh and 243,456 on the clock as well

18.9mpg over all average for every tank since I got the 4runner two years ago. 4wheeling, road trips from NM to FL, and 20mile city commute to work every day. (141,000miles 2000 3.4 auto 265/70-16dueler 695) I'm cool with it.
