Do you have a remote starter? I notice the mpgs go way down on my fj when I use the remote starter. If you dont have one, get one. Its wonderful but will hurt your mpgs.
I'm getting around 9mpg in the city.

Oh Drat, it's almost MTB weather. I live at Lake Tahoe
(supposed to get to 63 on Sunday. That snow is melting fast. We could and should get more, but you never know. It has snowed in June and August while we've lived here)
As for gas mileage, this tank has been terrible.....only 200 miles. But the Sienna did terrible too, so it's likely just the cold weather, lots of short trips with the vehicles cold, and the last of the winter blend of gas. With the 4runner it also had a rear drum rubbing just a bit, more use of 4wd for the snow, and low pressure in most tires.

Can you tell me what all is included in a "complete tune-up"? I'm not very mechanically minded and last time I went to a shop and asked for a tune up, the guy was just like "Well what do you want done?" I ended up getting my oil changed and a new air filter, but I feel there should be more. Thanks and sorry to bring you wizards down a notch :doh:

There can be levels of 'complete' tune-up. In your case start with the basics
Change out for OEM - spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor.
Once all the parts are installed - check your timing.
Along with the basic you should consider changing the fuel filter, PCV, thermostat, and any vacuum hoses that are dry/cracked. This is especially important for the big hose that's connected to the throttle body. Any cracks or air getting around the edges will cause you all kinds of problems!

eh that's part of why I got rid of my second gen. getting the same or better mileage as my 3vze with an engine that's twice the displacement.
