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.

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.

I have a 2003 v8 4WD Limited. I also find that the computer is a couple mpg optimistic.

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?

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.

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.

I get very close to your mpg on my 2001 4Runner.
I have been recording every fill up since I go it new.
Living in LA with a daily 40 mile drive up and down PCH to Malibu...
18 mpg is my average.
14 mpg worse case (slow bumper to bumper freeway trips like to Temecula)
23 mpg best case (free speedy drive down to Yuma)
 
Such a handy car/truck to lug around and haul items. It is a necessity, really. I just wish I could also have something like a Prius (but not so...uh...space-ship-looking)
