How the heck do you get 21mpg! I assume freeway driving, but even then, 21mpg sounds pretty good (I think I get like 19mpg on the highway). What speed are you usually settling in at?

I get 21MPG all the time. Usually going 70-75MPH. If I go down to 65MPH, I see 23MPG. This is in my 2001 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 V6, 2002 4Runner Sport Edition and 1998 4Runner Limited V6 Supercharged (was more like 20-21MPG in this rig).
 
im getting about 18 or 19 MPG. and i drive calmly. is there anything an old SR5 can get replaced to actually make a diff. in MPG? anything practical, i mean? lol

I'm with you, and I'm driving at '02! I'd like to know if there's a quick and cheap fix to bump up the gas a couple miles per gallon....

It's all about driving habits. Also, I am about 80% on the highway, so take that into account. If you're about half and half, your MPG is about right.
 
I have a 96 4X4 V6 w/209k miles, I'm getting 17 city and 22.3 highway. I calc-ed that on 10w40, now I run 5w30 and havn't calc the milage yet.

I am hoping for 19 and 24/25 because my 07 Tundra w/5.7L gets 17/22.
 
132,460 on my '99 4 cylinder..... 5w30 Valvoline Max mileage 22.5 mpg consistently per fillup

164,377 on the wife's '98 6 cylinder... 5w30 Valvoline Max mileage 21 consistently per fillup

280,740 on my son's '98 6 cylinder... 5w30 Valvoline 20 mpg consistently per fillup

My 99 SR5 Just hit 62,000.

That's awesome mileage! My 99 has 90K miles on it now. But I purchased a motorcycle for my daily commuting so the 4runner will be sitting a little more at least until winter.

Yea I just bought it from a Toyota dealer a few months ago and it had like 60,600 miles on it.

They gave me a 30 day warranty which I replced the 02 sensors and cats,power antenna and front rotors.

Plus any car you buy from them you get a free loaner [Prius] any time you bring the truck in for service. They will pick your car up anywhere within 50 miles and leave you with the Prius.

And I got it for 10k,it looks brand new inside and out. I think I did ok.

I also have a VW Corrado, and Yamaha Zuma that gets like 100 MPG so milegae on the Runner will stay very low.

that's a killer deal! 10K out the door? and all the work you got done under the warranty is worth $$$. Let's see some pics of your ride

I love corrado's my brother had a 92 VR6 5spd it was awesome I loved that car. My yamaha xs650 has been getting me 65 mpg not quite 100 but it has some balls to make up for it.

Yup it was 10k out the door. Before I picked it up they put in a new starter, full tuneup, rear bumper, flushed the coolant, new battery. The Truck looks like it came off the showroom floor.

I originally wen to look at FJ cruisers, then decided against it. Told the salesman the FJ wasn't really what I was looking for. He asked well wha do you want. I said a 99-01 Runner. His response. YOU NEED TO GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW:)

A very poor pic of my Rado.
