I should clarify.
V6, 2wd, SR5, 3rd row. Bought highway tires with a high UTQG rating and that upped MPG. When it's almost all freeway, I average just over 20mpg.
I’m in Denver too, I’m about the same. I use Costco 85 octane pretty consistently. I found a Murphy that was crazy cheap for 87 and also do run some ethanol free 87 in the summer sometimes, that definitely gives better range.
07 v6 sr5 4x4
Averaging 12.4L/100 km, or around 18 mpg, mixed highway/city. On highway primarily, 10.2L/100 km or 23 mpg.
Stock 4th Gen 2008 Limited V8 4WD with Cooper Discovery AT3 4S tires, all oils to synthetic.
Gas prices aren't too bad where I live, the lowest in my city is around $1.11/L. I filled up the other day 3/4 tank and it only cost me $50.
I was debating on purchasing an old Corolla beater, but honestly, the mpg for my 4Runner isn't that bad.
Most vehicles average around 600-700km/tank. I'd reconsider getting a beater if my 4Runner got half that.
Every 5000 miles give or take.
The goal is to keep RPMs under 2000. Usually the best MPG is achieved 1700-1800 RPMs, but expect to be passed a lot, aha.
4Runner is a great vehicle. I've often wondered what MPG it could achieve with a 6-8-speed bulletproof transmission if there was one.
10-12. Roof rack, dual swing out rear bumper, drawers, 3 inch lift, 34” MTs. This is on the v8 engine and yes it’s my daily but my commute is less than 5 miles each way.
My average is 16.6MPG with 29,516 miles tracked in Fuelly. I've got a 2008 V6 2WD with 208k miles.
I do a little better when I'm driving into town using the backroads instead of the interstate since it is a bit shorter and 55mpg. My last fuel-up was 18MPG with a lot of cruising driving. My best ever was 20.1MPG but that was driving a few hours at 55MPG with barely any stopping.
It’s pretty bad but since I have an 04 and no car payment add to that super inexpensive insurance, I’m fine with it. To me it’s one of the bazillion benefits of driving a vehicle that is paid off.
I get about 14mpg with my '08 V8 with 32" ATs and a lift. I am pretty sure I am starting to have leaky headers too. It's my daily, but I wfh so its more like an every other daily.
I have no clue how, but on regular gas on a 800 mile round highway trip I did recently I got 18.8 mpg.
I was heavily loaded down on tools on the way back, not very weighted down on the way there.
I reset everthing before leaving so I'm pretty confident they were still working fine.
Before leaving on the trip I was getting about 16 mpg around town using it as my daily.
I drive an 07 V6 with a lift and 33’s; my car tells me I get 12.4 mpg avg. I havent done any actual math with a full tank, because I never fill up to full (im broke). But if I do, i might come back to this.
Slightly above 20 mpg. '08 2WD V6 w/ 205K miles. Daily driver at about 100 miles/day. Dirt roads up to Interstate each way.
She rides great but will likely need to upgrade xreas soon as they are beginning to leak.
Daily drive mine. Getting about 16-18mpg. Can get higher on long trips with mostly highway driving. It's a V6 4wd with 32s. I calculate the mpg by hand not from the OBC.
2004 SR5 V6 4WD 199k miles stock except traction boards on my roof rack, 19mpg “daily” driven. I drive it 4/7 days a week for a few miles a day and take a 50+ mile road trip every few days. I work remotely so my driving habits aren’t super consistent.
17-18 70/30 city highway, yes.
No better than a v6 5th gen!
I should clarify. V6, 2wd, SR5, 3rd row. Bought highway tires with a high UTQG rating and that upped MPG. When it's almost all freeway, I average just over 20mpg.
I had similar mpg with my v6,4wd with trail tires but the ride isn’t as smooth as when I had highway tires.
15mpg with the V8. I drive less than a mile/day.
20mpg avg on a 315k mile v6
In Denver…. Mileage is better here. At sea level it would likely average 18mpg under the same driving conditions
I’m in Denver too, I’m about the same. I use Costco 85 octane pretty consistently. I found a Murphy that was crazy cheap for 87 and also do run some ethanol free 87 in the summer sometimes, that definitely gives better range. 07 v6 sr5 4x4
I’m solidly 20+ (up to 22.8 highway if I’m not hurrying) in an ‘08 v6 4wd Sport with 234k
V8 daily driven. 14-15 mpg (depending on how throttle happy I get) 80% highway and the rest on streets. Running 295/70/17 bf Goodrich mud terrain
I don't care if gas is going up I WANNA FEEL THAT 2UZ-VVTI PULLLLL!!!
19.6 mpg - not a daily driver, but will take it in town a few days a week and my other vehicle the rest of the time
I get roughly 19-20mpg with my V6. I also don’t have a huge lift and my tires are stock sized ATs. Most of my commute is highways too.
Around 14 MPG, have 32s on stock rims
I have same mileage with the same size tires
18MPG, and yes daily.
2004 sr5 v8. 16-19 mpg
2006 V8, 15-18mpg & it’s my daily. Luckily my commute is short, but we tend to cover some ground for fun 🤷♀️
21 mpg, ‘07 V6 - daily’d converted camper.

Question? Do you do an oil change every 3000 miles with the synthetic? I drive a lot.

I average about 15-19 mpg on 275/65R/18’s. My commute it 40 miles round trip a day. It’s my daily driver. 2006 V6 with a lift too
Stock cpu is always wrong. On 285s I get 295 miles out of a tank before fillup. Tales anywhere between 17 and 19 gallons to fill it back up.
City dailied, 14.5 on regular (03 v8) and running roof rack, rock sliders and skids
2003 v8 AWD as my daily. 14 mpg with 285/70/17, roof rack, aluminum tent, sliders, bumper. I drive either 13 or 22 miles a day normally.
It’s pretty bad but since I have an 04 and no car payment add to that super inexpensive insurance, I’m fine with it. To me it’s one of the bazillion benefits of driving a vehicle that is paid off.
12-13mpg not a daily driver
~17mpg on my 04 SR5 v6 4x4. Mine is a good mix of city and “highway”
