Something is wrong if that is a 20 gallon tank. Maybe you should take a look at your carb bud!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

While I dont have the Montero 3.5L V6, I do have a 3.5L V6 Monty Sport and I am getting factory rated fuel consumption (18 mpg hwy, 16 mpg city) on stock wheels (255 75 r16 if i remember correctly). My FSM states I should only use regular unleaded though (good for me) - I can make 500kms with about a quarter tank to go. Since ChrisJ posted 2.6 no's, my 88 with weber can do about 500kms but close to empty on stock wheels. I was thinking of going to larger wheels but may have to reconsider...

I got ~17mpg if I could keep it all highway miles. Most commonly I got about 15 with a healthy mix of city driving. In the cold weather doing short trips, I got down to 12mpg. Oh, and I also stuck with premium (93octane). Any less and she'd get sluggish. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

I may experiment with premium when I get back to town...if gas prices are reasonable <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

My 90 V-6 With 33x10.5x15s I can get 300 miles per tank mixed driving- Without adjustment. So I guess I'm getting 339 miles which comes out to around 16 miles to gallon. If I drive real hard or fast it will drop some but it has been very consistent. About 50 to 55 dollars to fill now. My last suv was a suburban with 33x12.5s. I'd hate to think what it would cost to fill and I only got around 10 miles per gallon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Its running fine. We didn't hook the cold start kick up when we replaced it. Curtis me and wyleone(matt) went over it. New coil got it running. I belive its a 14 gallon tank.
