Milage per tank of gas, v8 runner

Well as of now most of my tasks have been 15mpg hand, read out says 16.5.... do you guys always run 93 in your v8s?
15 mpg, spacer in the front(leveled) 255/75/17 bfg mud terrains, roof rack, 2wd, 167k miles, new injectors last week well see how the mileage goes now
 
I get around 11.5. 4 inches of total lift with 35s. V8
I can go around 200 miles on one tank of gas

Im not lifted, on stock everything and pushing 220 per tank. I dont know whats wrong. I have checked the intake, fuel system, brakes. Could it be front or rear diff? maybe transfer case?

Might be how you drive... could also be the trips you take... short, long? Traffic heavy?
 
15 miles a day no traffic/light traffic. Im not a lead foot. I had a ranger with a v6 and getting the same mileage. idk. I may do a fuel flush, rear end fluid and all that.

15 miles one way, or just 15 miles. Between warm up and only making a 15 mile trip id think you get 15_18 mpg as long as you stayed under 65mph. How many gallons of gas do you use in 220 miles
 
About 250-280 per tank since I range from 11-16 mpg @110 mph to and from work for 15-20 min. The issue mainly is I have a V8 in Germany and the Autobahn is awesome!
 
that's on my bucket list, is the autobahn, with a Shelby or a lambo etc.
Fun thing is that 90% of the time it's not a sports car passing you its a station wagon they travel around 180 to 200 kph avg I don't know why but they around fastest common car you will see the most of. If you choose the bucket list option. Come over to the nurburgring on Sundays and watch those lambos and other $100+k car race on the track or show off
 
I still dont know what the heck is the issue. I have asked all the techs that have work at toyota and they couldnt really pin point any real issue. I guess I will have to start replacing parts. Starting with the fuel pump and pick up. 200 miles per tank dosent sound right.

Start with O2 sensors, first. Use Denso or OEM ones, not cheap ones.

Also, see if you can make any difference by changing tire pressures, driving habits, etc.

I drive the speed limit, not aggressive, all my tires are at 33-34 and check it weekly. would a 02 sensor throw any codes?
 
Whats everyone getting mileage wise for a tank of gas in your v8 runner, also total miles for the whole tank(close estimate works) State if your lifted or stock or what not as well. thanks
