#3 of 348 Toyota gas mileage by simonkenton2 Feb 01, 2002 (5:48 am)
I am looking at buying a Toyota 4X4 with the 2.7 and manual. What kind of mileage can I expect to get?

I had a 95.5 Tacoma 4X4, ext. cab 5-speed with pretty tall gears. I averaged 22mpg with about a 60/20/20 mix of highway/rural/city driving. There were long trips on the highway and I still averaged about 22mpg and it didn't seem to matter if I was running 65mpg or 75mph. I see alot saying they're only getting 20mpg, but maybe they have 4:10's, I dunno. Either way, you should be able to find one geared for what you plan to do.
#5 of 348 Not great by tisteve Feb 01, 2002 (12:42 pm)
I have 4:10 gearing and I'm lucky to get 20 mpg. But, I do have a heavy foot and use the higher rpm's. It's a great engine though for a four.
#6 of 348 Just to compare... by adc100 Feb 08, 2002 (5:17 pm)
I have the '94 4X4 with the 2.4 . 24mpg is as good as it gets and about 20 around town. I have a very light foot. I'm guessing that 22 is about tops on the highway.

I get about 20 to 23 m.p.g. (combined) with my 2.7 engine with the 5 speed manual tranny (truck is a 4x4). Speed does not seem to make any difference.
#8 of 348 2.7 4x4 mileage by beachbrat Mar 04, 2002 (4:18 pm)
Simon, I plan to buy a 2000 single cab Tacoma 4x4 2.7 4cl 5speed and I hear from here that 22-24 is average. Replies to this message: jazzbeau (Dec 07, 2005 10:05 pm)
#9 of 348 Getting only 19 MPG by tisteve Mar 20, 2002 (8:38 am)
I think I might have a bad O2 sensor. I am consistently only getting around 19.2 per gallon. I have the 2.7 with 5sp 4x4 w/TRD. I do drive with a bit of a heavy foot, but I shift early if I'm not trying to accelerate.   Also, on warm mornings I get a funny exhaust-like smell in the cab for a few minutes until she warms up.   If most folks are getting in the low 20's, somethings not quite right.

Hmm.....yeah. I nearly got 19mpg on my last trip to Dallas, 85mph the whole way, with a V6 4x4, so something is wrong in your truck. Replies to this message: hawaiianbob (May 07, 2005 7:50 pm)
