    What speed gives you best MPG? 2nd Gen Edition

    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?

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

    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.

    1999 Limited w/Auto
    35" BFG/AT w/4.88 gears
    Speedlimit of 65mph in some sections and 55mph in others. I try to stay around 60mph.

    18MPG City/Hwy
    20MPG HWY

    I'll be running to Farmington on Saturday. I'll see what kind of mileage I can pull in during that trip.
