9!!!! Now that's poor mileage.
If he's driving the avg 15,000 mi per year, he has to pay approximately $6,000 a yr. for regular gasoline!

Mixed freeway and street driving, i keep it at or right below 70 mph and i get around 17.5 mpg. before i was watching my speed i was getting anywhere from 15.5 all the way down to 14.6. keeping her at or below 2K rpms makes a huge difference.

This is how I figure out my mileage too. I thought that was the best way to do it? (Besides the scangauge)

Me too..I always do it manually. It's interesting to see the Scangauge output and how it compares.

I get about 29-30 mpg with my 2.7 L engine.
Great for city driving

Anybody wanna guess what I will be getting with 265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer STT? I'm thinking it'll probably drop down to around 17MPG with tires and sliders.

I've done a lot of research and followed this very closely myself. In my truck, 05 double cab long bed TRD sport, when i ran 87 i was getting 18.7 on a combo drive 50/50 city hwy when i went to 91 19.2 not much better for the extra cost. When i went with 89 i got closer to 20.5 without changing any driving habits. I don't know why but this toyota 4.0l V6 loves the 89. I've heard the same from people in service and recommended this to a few in particular that weren't getting what they hoped for. They reported the same thing back to me with a big smile and thank you for the info. one 4 runner customer and a few taco owners. On a long road trip i get close to 22 depending on where im headed. NOt bad for a truck my size

You won't go below 17 mpg unless you have a heavy foot. As I said earlier, I've gotten 18 mpg the last couple of tanks (I finally reset the computer a couple weeks back) with the same size tires. Mine are P rated so your mileage may be worse with heavier C or D rated tires.

Just over 25 MPG on my first two fillups (half a tank each). Mostly highway driving. Two round trips from 6,000 feet, over a 7200' pass, down to 2000', then back.

2.7l 4x4 access cab.
