Topic: Gas Mileage?

[Yota Tony]

Well, fuel is killing me in my v8 Jeep. Think I might have to go back to a Toyota (something drivable this time).

I'm curious what the 1st and 2nd gen Truck (4Runners too but I'd like a truck) are getting out of the tank of petrol.
Looking for numbers from stock trucks and modified ones too (proving your re-geared, especially interested in trucks with 35-37" tires and 5.29s)

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for mileage traveled to a tank of fuel.
Not a MPG number.

[Tallchevy]

I guess you definatly caught the jeep thing!

Well since my 87 4Runner has a 14 gallon tank, I fuel up & put an average of 13 gallons, 
18mpg x 13gal = 234
19mpg x 13gal = 247
20mpg x 13gal = 260
Does that help?

79 toyota pickup, 86 22r w/ cam port n polish, 37's, 5.29s, 14 mpg

Ride a bike, then you will get the best milage you can get!

I didn't know all you had to do was multiply the two.

I do a 100km round trip every day.
Only bike I would ride that far would be a crotch rocket.

That's for the replies everyone.

when my 85 runner was stock i got 25-31 mpg. I had 31's and 4.30 gear now that was nice but now its around 13-15mpg 37's and 5.29s

[MiniSimp]

Stock 2001 4Runner around 20mpg

Our runners sound alot a like Mini....I'm guessing you get better mileage because you have a much longer commute to work than I do.  I rarely drive any longer than 10 miles at a time and I'm only getting about 16 mpg in my V6 97 4Runner.

Yeah, I'm 98% highway and drive my Lamberfeeties in town.

[DTB]

I get horrible mileage in my runner..... but I only live 2 miles from work so I dont really care 

[84pickup]

my 84 pickup used to get 20 MPG combined. about 275 miles on 15 or 14 gallons. now i get like 17 or 18 combined.

I'm looking for mileage traveled to a tank of fuel.

Why wouldn't you want an actual data point that can be equally compared?  Number of miles on a tank is pointless unless you know the size of the tank.  I'm sure some of the people on the board likely don't have stock tanks for easy comparison.

My trucks stock tank is missing about 5 gallons capacity from where a rock smashed in the bottom.....guess I can't play....

[ajordan1975]

i avg 17-19 mpg w/ a 85 pick-up. FI, 4.88, on 35's and a 5 spd.

My tank is stock but soon you can double the milage that I get from filling up. I'm adding another 14 gal tank 

[Yoat Goat]

Mine gets 0... It doesn't move.

[jimbo74]

what is the capacity of my gas tank? in US gallons? truck is a 84 extra cab 4x4 with a 22r carb


i got 280 miles from filled up and topped off to bone dry (turned off while driving)

If MPG is your goal, find a Toyota pickup with the diesel engine.  30mpg+.

Very hard to find.  Other than that, find something with the newer 22RZ or similar.  These get a consistent 25mpg.

i have ehard there are some pretty nasty issues with the diesels, i know i would rather have my 22r.... and diesel is way more expensive than gas, so it may even even itself out

20MPG in my 85 4runner with 37's and 5.29

What gears?  If your running 5.29s then your odometer should be fairly close otherwise...
