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

[bakutheleo]

Question for folks with larger than stock tires: When you put on larger tires, is there a setting somewhere in the car's system to tell it that? If not then MPG calculations will all be wrong, whether you look at the dash display or calculate it based on how much fuel you put in at the pump. I can see some difference in actual mileage, but I would not think all that much.

How's everyone's MPG stats looking lately?

Ouch... That is poor MPG. Driving style and mods not helping? If your dumping, is it because of the MPG your getting?

I am considering whether the vehicle is right for my use case. I only use the 4runner specific features like 4wd etc on weekends and haven’t driven it in the winter or on a long highway road trip. If the cost of ownership including mpg doesn’t warrant the value i get out of it, then maybe I need to consider options. It is fun to drive and looks great. But can I get similar and better value in something else. I know these hold their value, or have, but will they if the competition can offer similar capabilities and efficiency. I will probably put another 2k on it before deciding.

Mine's not awesome yet (And I know it won't be). I have about 600 miles on it, and the computer is showing me averaging 16.7 MPG as of now. Mix of highway and city. It has slowly been creeping up since I brought it home. Does the computer learn over time and produce a more real world MPG average?

I wish all the folk on here understood the cost of trading a vehicle, Just taxes. That is money you never get back. So, do your homework, buy for the long term unless you can afford to wast money.

I ran the math on my latest fill up. Last week on a full tank, the computer spit out 294 miles of range til empty. I ran the tank down to about 4 miles left to go, so I would have pulled about 298 miles'ish until i flamed out. I put in 16.57 gallons, so that's approx 17.98 MPG +/-. (I also have the front air dam off as well, but that can't account for more than 0.5 MPG, unless an aero engineer wants to chime in on that?)

This was in normal drive mode. Ill do the same math on the next fill up, i'll keep it in Eco for this tank. And none of this matters, is all for the novelty of it, it's always going to get mediocre gas mileage and i'm fine with that

19 ish in town, all stop and go
23-24 ish highway trips that are there and back to balance the wind effect
completely stock except no air dam
ORP
1000 miles
normal drive mode mostly

I'm happy so far. It's a great vehicle. It could use another inch or two of headroom but you can't have everything.

I’m at 19.7 mpg average and still Inching up gradually, about 3,700 miles on the odometer. I recently averaged 20.4 on a 198 mile trip of mixed city/highway with speeds up to 83 mph. I haven’t cleared the mileage history in over 1,000 miles.

I drive it without paying attention. Mostly city driving with a lot of stop and go and idling. Currently I am at 650mi. And 16.7 mpg. On a highway should be in the lower 20’s I guess…

I guess it depends what you value. If it was fuel efficiency then you are in the wrong car. There is always a cost to everything. I guess you can always look at a awd hybrid minivan which should suit most of your needs. (BTW, I've hit as high as 30mpg multiple times on a 25mile stretch to work)

I am at over 7000 miles in averaging 22-23 mpg mixed driving on normal/sport mode.

2000km in on my ORP averaging 10.6L/100KM according to trip computer. Manually calculated last tank I got 27mpg Canadian. 70/30 mix of Highway and city driving. Just switched out the stock Falken's for Toyo Open Country ATIII'S.
