gas mileage

[hudlenutz]

1991 22RE 31x10.50s, cold air intake, trd cat-back exhaust, otherwise stock.  I get 22 mpg consistently.  This summer at lower altitude (7200 ft where I am now) I could get 24-25 mpg.  In the mountains and wheeling I don't usually see less than 18.

I'm curious to see how the 3rz boys are doing with big tires, lots of gears, etc.  I was thinking of going 7mgte, but if 3rz milage is good, I could be convinced.

sucks fer yall. my 1987 nissan extended cab v6 4x4 gets 21 around town, bout 23 highway. runnin 31x10.5 AT's.
try those bostch duel prong spark plugs and make a cone air intake, will help out ur mileage and will make a big difference on ur throttle response.

[rebel racer]

i just took a set of those plugs out of my Chevy and put in Autolite platnums (sp) and my milage went way up

[Cheesemaker]

My 85 nissan 720 4x gets about 15 back an forth to work which is only 2.5 miles one way.  And open hwy about 25 with warn hubs locked in!  Pretty much stock except for weber 32/36 dgav and 30/9.50-15 Wildcat ext.  Can't complain!

My 92 22re averages 18 and I have seen as high as 23 if im babyin it . with 5.29's and 37" mtrs

[Pickup_foxrider]

My 91 V6 with 35" mtr and 4:56's gets a whole 11 miles to a gallon. That is both on and off freeway. It cost me like 60 bucks to fill it up.

I think the question that arises for the guys with bigger tires and gears is, have you had your speedo calibrated?  Do you truly know what your mileage is?  Your truck will usually read a hair faster than it's actually going with the stock setup so it's still not 100% accurate, but if you change stuff it's hard to get it exactly the same.  Just throwin it out there.........

Oh oh! Mine is dead on! My GPS says so

[WideOpen]

My speedo reads a just a little bit slow, so im actually getting better mpg than what the numbers say.   The RE i built turned out better than i hoped..good power AND mileage! I got lucky!

[Cheesemaker]

Oh oh! Mine is dead on! My GPS says so

My speedo is reading higher than actual!   speedo = 65     GPS = 61!  I love my GPS!   

[brainlessfool]

The gas mix in Cali reduces mileage, when I went to Moab I had to gas in Vegas, but on the way back I stopped in George, UT and then drove all the way home and that was on Utah's 85 octane.

yeah, but it reduces emissions(hmmgh, cough, hack, ugghhh), right?  Making our vehicles run lean with horrible fuel and tight emissions restrictions is GOOD for the environment, right?

Yeah, like that last additive that instantly started to poison our water supplies?!

Thou must mean the MTBE.

[wa4x4]

I hate gas...a mercedes G wagon gets better MPG than my stock 4runner!!! Germans must be pullin numbers out of where the sun dont shine i guess.

[79coyotefrg]

15-17 mpg  in mine, last year driving 100 mile commute to work, measured by milemarkers on the interstate

[Makman]

~17 MPG mostly highway on a 1985 22R with 245k and 32" Swampers and 4.10 gears then I swapped it out for...

~16 MPG on a 2003 4.3 Vortec with 5000 miles, 35" Toyos, 5.29 gears.  I run the Vortec pretty hard though because it's actually fun (and noticable) when I slap the skinny pedal.

[kyle_22r]

when i had the original 20R with weber and a bad vacuum leak in my '79, it got about 20mpg all-around.  now, with a 22R bottom end, 20R head with oversized valves, a dying 22R carb and a bad exhaust job(my fault) it's getting about 16.  hoping to improve that when i get off my butt and put the freshly rebuilt weber and offy manifold on, and fix the exhaust.  doesn't bother me too much since it's no longer my dd, but i'd like it to run well again.  i'm just running 31" swampers that are about the size of a worn 33" bfg.

my '91 with 235 tires and a 22RE, 5 speed gets about 23-24mpg all around
