testrider:
yes it should go down but not significantly that you will notice it.
either way the trip computer is inaccurate and only should be used as a means of getting a general idea of what you wish it to be
because if you calculate the real mpg using miles used divided by gallons consumed, you'll be in for one big shock
I've given up on the trip computer and only rely on the clock and the temp guage that's shown. I sometimes use the # of miles left just to get a good idea of how far I can go so I can plan my gas runs but other than that, don't rely too heavily on the trip computer has it's not accurate.
Other than that, the 4runner is a very very well made rig
No complaints here except for the loss in height!!!! but dang the v8 more than makes up for it so i'm a happy camper!
Just take good care of your 4runner and u know u'll be driving it for years to come!! woo hoo
