I think the Montero get's great milage for a 4x4 that size though.


I do as well. I'm always amazed at my highway MPGs doing 60-70+ in 2WD. Get consistently 19-20 with some low 21s occasionally. My mileage dropped off slightly when I went to 0W-40 engine oil.

My Ford Ranger P/U with same size V6 gets about the same, and it's a lot lighter vehicle and a little more streamlined.

I suspect any attempt to input more money for greater MPG will be self defeating money wise.

Other than lead foot is driving short run city? I've never driven mine in city much to be able to track MPG.
