Hi all,
I wanted to check in if my SWB montero mpg is reasonable. I just got this rig running not too long and had the opportunity to take it out. It has the 2.6l in it. On the road (city/hwy) I saw 15 - 16 mpg. I took it out last Saturday driving on nonpavement road and saw 13 mpg. I went about 100 miles and had to fill up about 10 gals.
Is this normal?
There's nothing special on the rig. It's stock with 30x9.5 mud tires.

Ive never run a stock 2.6 truck, but my 2.6 turbo got about 15 mpg, and my 4d56 gets about 24 25 mpg.

That's normal.
I got about 12-18 mpg with 31s and 9-12 mpg with 38s.

Thats funny. I get to driving and it needs gas and I put it in. Then I drive it til it needs it again. The speedo is off with the 35's so I am not sure what I'm getting, Running 31's your going faster, speedo is slower. So you are actually going further than odometer is saying, so you can only use it as a guide.

With stock alloys and little tires, I achieved 24 mpg with my Raider, once in 2009. With 33" tires and using 4th gear for flatland freeway travel, Raider returned 22 mpg once in 2008, then blew a heater hose. With 31" tires, most of the time I had between 13 to 18 mpg indicated.
My Mighty Max with a stick and turbo, 31" tires and my new lead foot achieves 14 - 16 mpg in town and 18 on the freeway.
All mileage values corrected for oversize tires, cause I haven't changed the drive gears.

I'm getting somewhere in the low to mid 20's with my bone stock Raider. I haven't done any measuring, I don't drive that much.
