#59 of 82 2003 V8 4WD Sport with TRD Supercharger by hotdogonastick Jan 24, 2008 (8:30 pm)
hello all. i got my runner new in 03 and currently have 23050 miles on it. i use it mainly for trips or to carry cargo. on average i get 15.5 mpg on the computer but actual calculations is around 13.7 on average with mixed driving. when i do >85% freeway driving at a constant rate averaging 70-75mph the cpu avg says 18-19 mpg with actual closer to 15. i sometimes regret getting the supercharger [now] because of the 3+mpg loss and the fact that i have to use super unleaded gas because of the higher compression/forced induction. when i got it installed gas was a whopping 1.85 a gallon. anyone else with any mods?

Replying to: hotdogonastick (Jan 24, 2008 8:30 pm) My 04 V8 4WD doesn't have any mods on it, but the computer has always been inaccurate at giving the correct fuel mileage. As a general rule it actually gets about 2 mpg less than what the computer is reading for actual mpg. On a trip this weekend it was a little closer, it was only about 1.6 mpg less than what the computer read. Replies to this message: nedzel (Mar 25, 2008 10:36 am)

I get 16-17 city, 20-22 highway, unless I am really moving. 70-75 mph = about 19 mpg   My best was driving KC to DC, back seats down & cargo area full of moving boxes, plus 3 bicycles on a hitch rack, driving 60-65 mph when I got 24 mpg. That was at about 50K mile point.

Replying to: akinsintenn (Jan 04, 2008 3:53 pm) Hey - I saw your question about mpg on your '96 4-Runner (I have a '95 and the mpg is even worse).   Did anybody reply to your question about how to improve it?   Marcus Peterson marcuspeterson65aol.com Replies to this message: timmygregory (Apr 27, 2008 2:31 pm)
#64 of 82 1995 4-Runner low mpg by marcus88 Apr 27, 2008 (6:55 am)
If I'm getting sub10 mpg, am I likely to improve it into the teens with a tune-up? Granted, a tune-up is MUCH needed (and it'll get one) but is there any way to get up to what the others in here are getting??? Upper teens???

Getting about 18 suburban, 20 hiway. Computer is about 2mpg high. I drive conservatively and I could probably get 23 (+ -) at a steady 45 or 50 on the highway.  At 70+ tho. aerodynamics take over and mileage takes a dive. Replies to this message: claymore1 (May 06, 2008 8:53 am)

16 city, and 20-22 mpg highway. Not bad for a V8. Driving habits are very important. With the V8, you rarely need to get over 3k rpms.
