Real World MPG by Owners (gas non-hybrid 4Runner) - Post Yours ⛽️

[JR1]

How's everyone's MPG stats looking lately?

We are at 22.6 MPG. Only have 800 ish miles. Mostly lettered state roads speed limit 55 and hilly in Missouri. Some numbered 55 MPH highways. Changed oil at 500 miles.

Still averaging 19.3 mpg in mostly city. After lifting it and going up in tires size I’m happy with that

I know from detailed testing on a prior vehicle, hilly terrain really impacts MPG. with data from this thread, I seem to summarize that MPG can be 17 - 26. Quite a spread. We as humans are the biggest variable in that second to terrain, tires, mods, weather. If you add towing into the mix, you might get closer to single digits.

As I am now officially old, I am chasing the 26MPG but would be happy with a 23-24 average.

I have noticed over the years with all the vehicles I have lifted, that aerodynamics had the biggest impact. The tires alone didn’t impact as much but the lift created so much drag and brought the mpg down much more

I agree. I lumped mods into my “human facto” but failed to point it out. (previous Keep Wrangler owner here).

This is my average over the first 1500 miles. SR5 4x4 on 265 ATs and I have a Thule roof rack.

Since I changed the oil at 2K, it seems like I gained like .5-1 mpg. Now hovering around 19 up from 18ish. Could be me driving like a grandpa but we will see...

 

[ah4rsr5]

My usual commute to work. 90% HWY.

Serious question but is it possible to get better mpg than the company advertised?

Yes of course. The EPA ratings are averages based on controlled tests, not maximums. Many drivers do exceed them with the right habits and conditions. My photo above show 27.8mpg. I'm sure I can keep this up for the entire tank based on how I drive.

 

[Hacksaw]

11.3 MPG at about 160 miles. Mostly short trips and a good bit of idle time while learning the controls and settings. But I don't expect it to get much better than a couple/few MPG higher than that, even a year from now, for tanks that are mostly short trips.

18-18.5 mainly city driving. Very hilly area where I live and couple bridges to get to work. I still love my 4Runner having a blast
