gas mileage

[tribliska]

 
I was just curious to see what other Toyota trucks are getting as far as gas mileage.  I have an '80 4x4 with no engine mods and am getting 14-15 mpg on average.  I would think I would get better, considering it is a four cylinder and I drive fairly conservatively.  The engine is in great shape with 148K mi.

11 - 13 mpg on my 80  , you're doing better than me.......

[Marlin]

I 've owned my 80 L/B since Sep 83. It was stock when I brought it and it made 15 MPG. Now with a triple Marlin, 90' 22r with 20R head, smog legal with stock carb, header,5 sp trans, 529's, 35" tires--it makes 15 miles to the gallon
I had a smog legal Weber, it still got me 15 MPG.
Sounds like it likes 15 MPG

i've gotten 17 from my 83. Weber, header, "rv" cam, 10:1comp, one mm over sized exh. valves, 4.88s, 33s, 4inch lift.  I've even gotten 15 with my over head camper on!  oh the 17 was while towing my tent trailer. (only time i check)

90 22re with 5speed, 5.29s, 37" tires, and some added weight........gets me about 13 mgp @ 70mph on the freeway...15mpg around town.

I have a '82 w/ stock 22R and 318,000 miles.  30" tires, camper shell, stock rear end.  It gets about 20.

1991 22re 5.29s and 37s i get about 17 all around

Hmm maybe a little adjustment might help a little?

[89 toy]

89 22re 37"ssr's 5 speed stock gears very heavy right foot i got about 10 havent checked it since i got my 5.29's

[David]

83 Yota 4x4, 5 sp, all stock, 30" tires. Consistant 20 mpg highway. Made a trip to Eagle Lake near Susanville just before the cold weather. Towed my alum Klamath boat and carried a weeks gear. Mileage never went below 16 in the mountains.
Not bad, not bad at all for a engine with 193,000 miles on it, and still does not burn oil.

[kyle_22r]

guess i'm about on par then.  i get about 15mpg on my '79

i figure, if my 20R gets 15mpg with stock gears and tires, why not put in some kind of bigger v6 that gets more bang for the buck?  i just wish there was an inexpensive toyota v6 on the market, might be a gm for me...

[John Doe]

So if I understand this right, 14mpg and only about 215 miles on the tank is about right? Thats what I got with my first tank and I was shocked it was that low. I am use to 22mpg in my previous car. Just got to live with it, and spend more on gas.

[BigMike]

Yup, 15 MPG is pretty good for a Carb 4cyl and maybe 17 MPG or so is pretty good for an EFI (non-turbo) 4cyl?

[RHG]

  Thats kind of a shame cause my Dodge 5.2L was getting 13-14 MPG on the freeway pushing 35's with stock gears(3.55's) and a 5speed. I did have a cool air hooked up, oh and cant forget the flowmaster but thats it. I know I got crap around the city though cause I use lots of skinny pedal and I found that when 35's squeel they draw a lot of attention. Thats why I couldnt afford it anymore cause most my driving was around town. $60 a week for gas hurts. I like the yota, $40 every week and a half.

[Shamb]

Yea i'd have to guess around the 10-13 mpg range with an 82' SB 22R with 290k on the clock, 5.29's and 37" tires

I probably go... hmm.. 200 miles per tank, dunno how big the tank is though.. maybe 15 gallons?

[Rocksurfer]

Hmm, that would be an interesting question fo me. I don't drive it very much on the street and have an auxilary tank, but for the whole week at Shaver Lake I used about 25 gal. Most of the time was offroad in low so my mileage would have been real low.



My Camry gets about 35mpg.

[Ramrod]

I got 19 miles a gallon in my 83 now I have the same motor in my 86 and it get like 10 in town if I'm lucky and a bit more on the freeway.  It is so dead it uses like 2 quarts or more of oil for every tank of gas. 

[Rocksurfer]

My Willys gets great mileage, or not, 0mpg. but it gets 0 miles so I guess that's good. Actually when I Totalled my Tercel I drove it as a DD for about 6 mos. and for what it is and what it has under the hood I got about 12mpg.

[kneedownnate]

When I bought my 80 4by in 99 my brother played with the weber to pass smog and it got 17mpg average and a best of 19, but anybody runnin a 32/36 weber knows smogable doesn't mean drivable.  It's now adjusted more street friendly and gets 15mpg average, but it'll still get better if I stay out of the skinny pedal, and got over 16 last tank.  I just love the way it sounds when I get into it though.........

[kneedownnate]

My 91 2wd sb gets 26-28mpg too.....

[mudguts]

My 84 Runner 22R makes 12-15 mpg with a Holley 390.

[trailhunter]

hey guys I'm getting some POOR gas mileage lately as well. I have a 85 4runner on 33's with a header,highflow injectors,K&N cone, and a cam (not to sure on the cam) I'm not to sure the mileage because I'm a Canadian    we use litres   but i have a bone stock 89 and it gets at least 240kms to a tank more than the 4runner.;

And at $1.20 a litre it makes me wanna buy a V8 

[wa4x4]

my 3.0 fully stock with stock gears and 31"s gets 10-13 mpg...I need a new car...

[kneedownnate]

My 84 Runner 22R makes 12-15 mpg with a Holley 390.

Are you runnin the holley manifold or an adapter for that?  I have a nos holley manifold but desperately need a good holley 390 4 barrel.

[BigMike]

Dare I say what my 3RZ is getting?

[Rocksurfer]

Dare I say what my 3RZ is getting?

Isn't that what this thread is for?

[KYOTA]

mine got right at 23 on the highway in its intended vehicle  

[WHITE_TRASH]

My truck clicks off high teens to low 20's if I drive it nice.  Im pretty sure Ive got the miracle re.  It makes really good power too.

I'm running the Offenhauser 4bbl adapter from Northwest Off Raod Specialties.

[shad]

I'm getting around 20 mpg with 35's and 5.29's with a 22r and a stock carb.
