Milage expection question - 3/28/2006 9:14:16 AM    TKellerXIT   Posts: 17 Joined: 3/20/2006 Status: offline Filled up the '95 yesterday. Got a whole 11.8 mpg (3.0L V6, automatic). Is this "normal"? What kind of milage are you getting with your Runner? Thanks.

The truck is having to push more weight than anticipated from what is in a stock 4runner. (in reply to t4running) Post #: 3

Considering if it's worth the investment & time to upgrade my current '87 22R 4cyl. which gets about the same. It's a beater, but it does the job.... Kat (in reply to Petrovsky1980) Post #: 6

I find the winter gas here as well as having the heat or ac on also erodes mpg's. During the winter when "they" change the gas mixture's I steadily get less mpg's. (in reply to Kathleen) Post #: 7

I drive an '05 SR5 4x4 with the 4.0 liter. I tend to monitor it to the point of ridiculous-ness though. In the summer months I get around 18.5-19mpg but during the colder months it slips to 17.3-18.5. And of course I had to make a long winter drive so I could throw away "engine warm up loss", lol. I noticed I also lose close to the same amount with my Thule box on the roof. Damn degredation of aerodynamics. < Message edited by scooter2374 -- 4/28/2008 7:01:29 PM > (in reply to bolt) Post #: 8

I just know I have to fillup every 2 weeks (in reply to scooter2374) Post #: 9
