91 4Runner gas mileage?

[77'911]

We get about 20mpg on our 1990 4runner(auto,V6, 70k) but I dailed it in the best I could. Pretty much every tune-up part was replaced, idle to factory spec, cleaned the TB, tire pressures, etc. Well, you get the idea.

250km on half a tank

Hi guys.. on premium fuel I got 250km on half a tank (just going by the gauge - not from the receipt) but I just did a tune up today so I will see what kind of MPG i will get now..

I thought it was interesting that when I filled it up on 89 instead of chevron 92 I got 19km less than the higher octane.. (same trip)

I get about 12-15 depending on driving, usually at 180-200 miles needles on Empty.

Mileage is lowert than explorer

I find it interesting that the 4runner has less power and less gas mileage than my explorer 6cyl 4 door.

Hi guys..

Stop looking at your gas guage to tell how many mpg you are getting.. or guestimating.

1. Fill up
2. Reset tripometer to zero
2. Drive till maybe a quarter on the gauge
3. Fill up again.
4. Look at tripometer
5. Look at gas reciept.
6. Divide tripometer mileage by gallons that is on your gas receipt and that is the true mpg you are really getting.

that might be a way to do it, but might not be the best, my first quarter of a tank goes WAY faster then the rest of the tank, I would recommend at least half if not just the full tank.
