[Harold1950]

Hey Guys....old guy here, have lurked, read and learned.......thanks for the post and info.....still have gobs of questions.........I'm older that dirt and refuse to grow up, I have a 12 year old son and I told him I had him to have a toy to play with....now I have a real Toy to play with, just bought a 2005 Platinum metallic Sport V8 with 44756 miles on it, joined the forum to learn and keep it running good, only complaint I have is the gas mileage it gets:snacker:

Harold1950,

:welcome::welcome::welcome::welcome::welcome:

"2005 Platinum metallic Sport V8" ...you have a Sequoia?

4th Generation 4Runners were only Titanium Metallic.

What kind of MPG do you expect from a 4,000lb beautiful truck?!?!

There's a bunch of members here from Sacramento...perhaps you can get w/ them some time & go wheeling.

I told you I was old, so cut me some slack, it is a 4Runner............I think my gas guage is wrong, it shows one thing and takes less to fill it up so the mileage reading may be off to, need to manually do it

Welcome.

Are you going by the trip computer? For most 4th gen owners, it tends to be 10% optimistic compared to hand calculations.

 

[Harold1950]

yes the trip computer, like I said it seems to be off, would be nice if it was accurate, guess I'll learn the quirks and know how far I can go on a tank of gas............

Welcome fellow runner.

Welcome. Dirt's pretty old, but remember, old is only a state of mind, and it certainly is not for wimps. Relish your experiences.
