Real World 4 Banger 4X4 Manual Mileage/Use?

the low roads around here run about 60 so i might try driving them a bit more and see how it goes on the next tank.

 

I do. I took the old highway on our last fishing trip and took an extra 10-15 mins but ended up getting 30mpg because it was setup perfect. I was pumped

 

are you rockin an access cab or a reg?

 

Access cab. Its basically setup like the TRD too with the 17" sport rims/tires and Bilstein shocks

 

4x4 2.7 5mt regular cab.

MPG has improved as truck reached 10,000 miles and is now broken in and gas in not the winter blend.

23mpg and 24mpg on my last two tanks.

 

Im at 26.75 on the first 400 kms of my tank so far with the AFE prodry

 

well as an update, i seem to have figued out the gearing in this thing and got this out of my last tank

22.4 mpg US
26.9 mpg imerial
10.5 l/100km

I'm loving my new truck more and more each day!

 

Just got 762.2 kms last tank before I filled it. I stop at the first click too

 

So far 20mpg winter gas and 22mpg summer gas with a semi-heavy foot.

 

i get between 22 and 25 mpg. the truck has run 265-70-17 dura tracs and its a 4x4. i shift around 2k to 3k rpm. it is what is is it could be better, but thats a respectable figure imo

 

My second to last tank was 24.5 MPG, my last was an awesome 25.3. Driving was mostly all highway between 55-65 MPH, unladen.

 

OP asked about real world MPG. NOT what his Grandma would get if she drove one! I have a 2011 AC 4X4 5spd and combo of city, freeway, off road and mountain driving is 21.5 before secondary air filter removal. I expect MPGs to increase, just did it let you know later.
P.S. Freeway speeds are 70 to75 not 55 to65.

 

i have a 96 4x4 4cyl it has 31's on it and mix of city/highway i get around 22-23 mpgs and im just like you i always punch it everywhere especially getting on the highway pushing the 31's slows it down but i plan to re-gear sometime
also i usually go like 65-80 on the highway

 

Since he's in Oregon the interstate speed limit is 65, but he said highway which is max 55 in Oregon.

P.S. removing the secondary air filter will not increase your mpg.

 

update time!

Just landed my first awesome tank:

9.38l/100km
25.xx mpg
30.xx mpg (imperial)

 

my 08 reg. cab 4x4 5spd is getting 26mpg its all stock with just the secondary filter removed. its mostly to drive to work and some play. my average speed is about 45-50mph. this is great was driving my other truck (05 hemi ram lots of extras)for a while but it was killing me in gas.

 

Of course, after you're at speed (cruising) that doesn't apply, and that's why the 4-cyl. will beat the V-6 on long flatland trips. The V-6 will strain less on hills, but the larger displacement can make that a wash. It's generally hard to get around the fact that a smaller engine - if not too small - will get better MPG, especially when idling in city traffic.
