on my old 20R in my truck, i got between 18-22mpg depending on fuel, how i drive etc
now with the 20/22 hybrid, it gets between 15-18mpg.
tires are 31" swamper LTBs, 4.375 gears

my '91 22R-E 4x4 gets about 20mpg all-around, it was getting about 23 when i bought it(better fuel in summer). 235/75/15 tires, 4.10 gears.

About 16 goin to the mounaints to go wheelin. 16 in town. 20 on freeway. Sometimes more, sometimes only 18. This is full throttle too. This is with 37" MT/Rs, 5.29s.

About 15. 31s, 4.37 gears and L43. This is also runnin a weber 32/36 tuned a little bit, 4 into 1 hedder, open exhaust and a pretty stock hybrid. And lilbuddy, it doesn't so much matter if you're floored or not, what really matters is your rpm, ie: the higher the rpm the more air is being sucked in, hence the more fuel being sucked in. Try bogging your truck a lot around town and see if your mileage picks up or not, worked for me. Not sure how that works on efi rigs though, how much the ecm compensates or ? I get pretty consistent 26mpg in the granny truck.

edit: my boggin theory doesn't necessarily transfer to hilly driving though since you're putting a heavier load on your engine, it's more of a flat ground/cruising deal.

in my 89 extra cab I get about 18-20 mpg. this should go up when summer hits again. Winter gas sucks. I'm running 31X10.5's with 4.88 gears.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 06, 2005, 08:48:06 AM »

I get right about 20 with 4.375's, 33's and an 84 5 speed

skid · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 06, 2005, 09:15:54 AM »

12 around town, 6-12 playing in the snow. 37", 4.37's and a 4 speed.

83, 22R,4:88's, 33's, 17-18 freeway, 14 with my cab-over camper on.

Bob Garrett · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 06, 2005, 11:17:35 AM »

17-18 on the freeway. With a little bit of tailwind, I can get 19-20. 33x12.50 BFG MTs, 5spd (although I run in 4th a lot) and 4.10 gears.

Recently regeared to 5.29s with 35s. I can use 5th gear now and mileage is 18-20 on the hwy.

actually with a carb there's gonna be more fuel spitting through in a low vacuum situation(foot to the floor) due to the power valve. keeping the secondary closed until you need it really helps with fuel economy

....but, but my truck won't move unless it's floored.

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 06, 2005, 04:23:55 PM »

18-20 4.37's and 32 on the left and a slick 33 on the right

although nothing since its dead again

dj · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 06, 2005, 06:16:43 PM »

my old 87 runner 22r-e 35 pro comps- 5.29 got 22mpg consistantly cruising the turnpike to work at about 75 or 80 mph until I started modifying the engine then it dropped down to about 18 on the highway. my 2.7 taco 31" 4.56 gears? I think?? gets 19-20mpg consistantly and that is without 5th gear being operable

Sorry, was just trying to relay something that has worked for me.

Are you people taking into account that your odometer is incorrect? Cuz some of you are getting what i consider GREAT gas mileage!

22r motor. 31.5x12.5 tires, 5.29 gears, 5spd. 14-16 mpg. I can get up to 17-18 on the freeway if I keep it =<2800rpm's, but 55 on the freeway sucks.

dj · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 07, 2005, 10:54:25 AM »

if I pull another vehicle behind my tacoma it drops to about 6.3-6.5

whiteman · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 07, 2005, 12:22:41 PM »

87 4-runner, 22re w/header, 3" exhaust, 31/10.50. 4.10 gears, I got about 18-20 in town and 20 -22 on a good day down the freeway.

My 85 w/22re, and stock everything seems to get even better milage but did not get to drive it enough to be exact.

skid · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 07, 2005, 12:39:45 PM »

I sold a 84 2wd toy with a 22r this year. 4.10's, 5spd and 26" tires. 27mpg around town in the middle of the summer. Kick myself for selling it, 4wd's suck the fuel.

kyle_22r · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 07, 2005, 01:06:24 PM »

my 2wd toy got close to 30mpg regularly. i attribute it to being low to the ground(it was like it had a torsion drop in the front) and having 3.08 gears.

i kick myself for selling it too, but i thrashed the thing hard and i was supprised to see it driving down the road just a couple months ago(i sold it in 2003) and the guy had fixed it up, and put a new paint job on it and everything

jimbo74 · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 13, 2005, 09:18:58 PM »

i voted over 20... wow, am i the only 1 i guess?

my truck will hold 13 gallons of fuel from completely empty.....

depending on the driving i can get up t o23 mpg or as bad as 17 mpg... i do a lto of hiway driving though....

i have a 4x2 wit ha w55, 31" tires inflated to 50 psi, a bobbed bed, std cab, 3.07 gears

kneedownnate · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 13, 2005, 10:01:05 PM »

Jim, you're swimmin in a sea of 4bys! If we're talkin about our 2wds then I get 26-28 in my 91, stock gears and tires.

jimbo74 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 13, 2005, 10:15:30 PM »

nate, my 4x2, is more 4x4 then most people want to believe.....

possibly not here, but in general... you probably wont see too many 4x2s built like mine, if any without some major crazy longtravel suspension or somethign converted to a tcase with a front axkle

stock 93 runner with a 22re and a g58 tranny and im getting 14 miles per gallon.....i think somethings wrong haha

Hyena · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 14, 2005, 05:30:56 PM »

84 22r, 5 speed, 37's, 5.29's. I use to get about 16mpg all around with 35's. with the 37's it dropped down to about 13 or 14. But that is also with low compression, its blowing through the rings. I haven't really driven it that much on the road lately so i don't have an up to date mpg.

you still have a pre-runner type 2wd, i betif you tossed a 4.10 in that rear you would actually get better mileage

94SRUNNER · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 15, 2005, 08:24:43 PM »

I get anywhere from 22 all the way to 29mpg on the highway. I have a 94 2WD with 26" tires and a relatively stock drive train and gears. Big plains lay ahead, and a marlin tranny is one of them. However it is not an offroad truck, its future is in Autocrossing. I am currently persuing a 90' 4Runner, we'll see what happens with that.

94SRUNNER · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 15, 2005, 08:26:25 PM »

How would a set of 4.10 gears affect the drivablity in a 2WD truck?

kyle_22r · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 15, 2005, 10:15:52 PM »

depends on what gears you already have. it's a very easy swap to do with an 8" rear(if you've got a pre-79 pickup, or a 1 ton or 4 speed) since 4.10 3rds are everywhere. not quite so easy with a 7.5" rear since i don't think any in 2wds came stock with 4.10s(most were more like 3.42, 3.58, 3.73 etc), you have to swap the front ring and pinion from an IFS 4x4.

4.10 gears are a great thing to have in a 2wd though, it'll make it launch harder and put more torque to the wheels.
