You are about 3mpgs off on city and about 5-8 off on the hwy from the average.


5-8 off on highway average? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> If you're getting 28mpg out of a 22re 4x4 pickup, it's only because it's falling off a cliff at the time.

I've owned 12-15 22re's. Best mileage I ever achieved was 22. Averaged 18-19 combined city/hwy.


The 86 efi Runner I had for a short time averaged 18 on back roads/town(nothing above 40mph), and 24 on the highway.

The last 2nd gen 22re pick-up I rebuilt got 17mpg and 26, the 2 times I drove it.

These results were after short 40-100 mile trips, starting with a full tank, and filling up each time, on premium gas(91 octane).

The highend of 28mpg is from what some members here have claimed. Seeing how the two 80's era 22re's I have had got 24 and 26 on the hwy, the claimed 28 by some isn't all that unlikely.

My '91 22re flatbed got 20mpgs driving to Tahoe loaded with about 400lbs of gear, and managed 17 mpgs on the Rubicon. I was expecting worse since my '90 3.0 averages 11mpg on the trail.

I find I get better mpg filling up after using 1/4 tank than after 3/4.

More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
