Onset of poor gas Mileage
So, I have owned two T4R's, both bought brand new.
First was a 1998 (in wreck at 85,000), and the second IS a 2012 (currently with 93,000)
Both were very well maintained, always synthetic per manual every 6000 miles. All grease nipples were hit every oil change.
1998 never had the transfer case or diff's oil changed. Brakes done by Toyota
2012 transfer case and diffs done at 50,000. Brakes done by me.
All had consistent tire pressures.
The 1998 went from around 15 to 10 mpg over a period of 6 months and never recovered at about 70,000 miles (unless you call the accident a recovery).
The 2012 is currently exhibiting that same slide, and I have no idea how to fix.... and neither does Toyota.
I know these are sealed wheel bearings, but can they go bad?
