  • Gas Mileage

    What kind of Gas Mileage is everyone getting? I am sitting pretty horrible (12-15 MPG) with mine but I didnt buy it to be efficient!! What are some of the things folks are doing to improve MPG?

    Official Toyota figure's for a 2nd Gen V6 4Runner are 16mpg round town, and 24-26 at 55mph.

    So for a 18 or so years old truck with lots of miles on it i'd say you're doing ok.

    What are some of the things folks are doing to improve MPG?
    Buy a bike?



    Just make sure the truck is properly serviced, regularly, use road bias tyres and don't keep the truck full of crap or tools and drive smoothly with a gentle right foot is probably all you can really do.

    Bull bars, spot lights, roof racks and oversize tyres are MPG killers.

              I get 22-23MPG with 33" muds, roof rack and 4.56 gearing on a 2.4L TD.
              I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants!
