The Eternal Question: V6 vs V8....

Can I vote we stop with the Bud's and the Bro's... and especially brah. If you use that, you should be banned.

Because, news flash....no one you say that to at ANYTIME other than a in person friend, thinks that it is anything other than either rude or arrogant.

I have never in my entire life refereed to anyone as either of the above mentioned 3 phrases. I have come to know that there appear to be a few geographic locations where it is apparently appropriate terms... but this is the internet and most of us consider those phrases *******...

So. Stop.

Nah. That Meme isn't really applicable... I just think it a sign of some serious immaturity and got irritated and people throwing those around...

You kiddin me? It's VERY applicable! And awesome, all at the same time!

Relax, man. Life's too short to get pissed off at something so trivial.

Guess this is just another outcome of the "V8 vs. V6" battle.

Have a coke and a smile, slick.
 
Totally.
****. Oh, wow... that rhymes with your latest word jab. Do I get points for creativity, or is THAT too far.
Meh. Trivial.

Also, coke? Please. Scotch. Aged well. But, one day, you too will be old enough to pull the diapers off and buy some.

Hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams. Oh wait, did I let this degenerate into a proto-typical flame fight? All because some internet **** thinks acting like a **** is a protected act and when someone asks for some civility, some **** makes the proto typical frat response.

Relax Slick.
Yep. Go pop your collar.

I believe you're the one acting "high school" for being so bent out of shape over a single word.

To add fuel to the fire I just took a 100 mile round trip driving 5mph on rural county highways and my DIC showed 25.1mpg average for the trip. I didn't really care enough to figure out how many gallons I actually used, just noticed the read out.

I can usually see how someone who only uses the DIC readout can think their 4Runner can achieve 20+mpg.

^^^This x 100.

Bro, Brah, Bud and, to toss out another: Chief, all definately come across negatively on the internet.
 
here we go again..................

LIKE if you want to see this and any future V6 vs. V8 thread locked immediately.
 
For 2004 the v8 has an extra gear that the v6 does not. I get better hwy mileage in my v8 sport than my friend does on his v6 limited. He edges me out by 2 mpg around town.
 
FWIW: my 2003 V8 4wd, in very good shape, with stock suspension and somewhat more AT-ish than stock tires (Yokohama Geolandar-something), using 89 gas, gets about 19.9 mpg on the highway, with A/C on, assuming it's a relatively level and smooth road, and I keep it within the 70-75 mph band.

The key to getting halfway decent mileage with a V8 is to keep your foot out of it and minimize the number of times you're asking the tranny to downshift. The motor is more than happy to go go go, but you can practically watch the fuel gauge go down if you allow it to!

Around town is a total yard sale -- seldom any better than 15 mpg.

(Above figures based on actual odometer & fuel pump measurements, not the jauntily optimistic dash readout)





I'm sorry, but there is no way in heck a V8 4WD 4th gen is getting 22-23 mpg on the highway. No way, no how. 18 on a good day? Sure. But 22 or 23. Nope. And yours has a 3" lift and bigger tires? Nope, you're not getting 23 mpg on the highway. And, btw, if you haven't regeared your speedo, your odometer is running 7.4% slow: Tire size calculator

The EPA rating for an '03 V8 4WD 4Runner was 14 city / 17 highway and that is about what a stock V8 4Runner will get.

The computer might tell you that it is getting 19 mpg on the highway, but as I said, the computer is at least 1-2 mpg optimistic.
