What speed gives you best MPG? 2nd Gen Edition

[Swissdrums]

Saw this same type of thread in the 96-02 section...

When i road trip 65-70 mph can ussualy give me 22-23 mpg.
I believe its the perfect combination for my tires and gearing.

Its amazing, considering I only get about 13-15 in town.

How about you?

Dang... is your gear ratio really high? Running 4.10 with 33" tires?

[Swissdrums]

4.88 with 32"

With 33's, an auto tranny, 4.88's, and a roofrack, I don't watch mpg. It makes me cry!

Wow, I only get 18mpg max and thats running about 60 to 70. I have 4:56 on 30 inch tires.

I get around 18 if I keep it under 80 (city) and around 20-21 doing 70 on the highway for extended periods.

31x10.5 Michelins

My 22R-E, 5spd 4Runner consistently gets 19 to 20 mpg in mixed city/hwy driving (but mostly city) with 32" tires and 4.56 gearing. Driving style doesn't seem to affect my numbers.
