on another board I follow, this question was asked, and I saw post after post after post of people saying they were getting 24mpg+ and they could spin the wheels at all 4 corners in their 22R(E)s. bah!


I can spin all 4 Yodta.......... in low range on gravel.

I'm getting 19-20 with 33X10.5 BFG MT's and 4.10s (yes corrected), 5 speed 22RE. And I live at 3000 and comute over one 4000 ft pass almost everyday and about a 3rd of the time over another pass nearing 6000 ft.


Thinner air at altitude means less air. That means: less fuel used , also, because the O2 sensor is trying to maintain that 14.7 : 1 air /fuel ratio. This prolly helps mileage. However when it's burning less fuel, it's also making less power. That's not necessarily a bad thing. There's just usually a trade-off between power and economy.
