Replying to: blufz1 (Feb 15, 2007 2:38 pm) Wind resistance increases exponentially with speed ...   Actually, it increases quadratically but your conclusion is correct.   tidester, host Replies to this message: blufz1 (Feb 15, 2007 5:51 pm)

Replying to: blufz1 (Feb 14, 2007 2:28 pm) thanks for the reply. I may just have to settle for sub-20 mpgs...   Unless I can figure out how to drive like  pmschneidau - very impressive! However, I drive on Texas roads - and cld get shot for going less that 70 on the freeways!

Replying to: tidester (Feb 15, 2007 4:55 pm) Well, I thought it was by the square of the speed, but I wasn't sure that would be the way to state it. Of course being from the South,I've never heard that quad word before.

Replying to: darambo (Feb 14, 2007 10:52 am) Darambo: The 4Runner back window should not be down when driving, as specified in the manual. If the back window is down when driving, the station wagon effect will draw exhaust gases into the truck -- not good for you or your dogs.

Replying to: nedzel (Feb 23, 2007 9:33 am) Thank you for the reminder about driving without the back window down.   I mainly want to use this feature for quick stops when I'll turn the engine off, and leave the windows down. Replies to this message: nedzel (Feb 28, 2007 8:21 am)

Replying to: darambo (Feb 27, 2007 2:30 pm) Oh, ok. It's perfectly fine for that purpose
#50 of 82 Gas question...87 or 91 on my new 4runner? by erichochman Mar 14, 2007 (8:47 am)
i have heard countless time that the new 4runners should use premium fuel only. YET. the owners manual says 87 octane. i even called toyota myself and asked and they told me 2 times...87 octane is fine..not 91.   im confused...any correct answers. thanks in advance
#51 of 82 07 SR5 V6 by newdavidq Apr 13, 2007 (3:25 pm)
Just filled up after using most of a free tank of gas that came with the truck and got 18.1 around town (one freeway trip of about 40 miles). Used the miles divided by gallons method. So far the computer is reading about 17.9 so it appears to be fairly accurate. Looking forward to a road trip to check hwy mileage. So far, so good. I'm still breaking in so am being conservative, no lead footing. 87 octane works fine. Dave

Replying to: canddmeyer (Sep 04, 2006 6:12 pm) I'm considering trading my Pilot for something with more towing ability. 4Runner, Pathfinder, Explorer and Tahoe are first choices. So I've been looking and driving.   I agree about the Tahoe. The cargo space floor is too high and those rails are intrusive.   The 4 Runner seems the way to go, with its good tow weight numbers. Of course most of the time is spent NOT TOWING, so the real world MPG numbers are important.   Kip Replies to this message: canddmeyer (Sep 13, 2007 12:32 am) jlabrie (Nov 29, 2007 5:24 pm) canddmeyer (Nov 30, 2007 2:07 am)
