#61 of 82 2002 V6 4X4 A/T - 88K miles by duke15 Mar 25, 2008 (9:57 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)

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)

#68 of 82 2006 V8 Limited 4wd by josephd05 Apr 28, 2008 (8:25 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.

Replying to: newdavidq (Apr 27, 2008 1:26 pm) 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)
#70 of 82 2007 SR5 V6 4x4 by 4runner7 Jun 27, 2008 (4:01 am)
I'm seeing some pretty solid numbers from my 4runner....it averages 25 MPG day to day. I reset the MPG meter on a recent 120 mile trip down 1-71...and saw a solid steady 27.5 MPG for two hours at 65 MPH (cruise on). I also notice if I keep it at or below 60 MPH, I improve my city/hwy combined to 26.7. I've been fortunate because the MPG have averaged 23-25 since I drove it off the lot a year ago. I do drive it light, coast up to lights, and now tend to stay out of the left lane. I have also, like others, verified the MPG with the tank empty/full test. I'm happy, but someone needs to design or market an aftermarket hybrid /battery system so we can keep these machines for years to come.
