I have a '95 Toyota 4-runner with a 3.0 engine. It is giving me 15m.p.g. with little hiway travel, some rough dirt roads, some 4X4 andrural traffic. All mileage is put in under or at the speed limit. CanI do better than this? I owned a Buick Century Wagon up until lastNovember when some bozo in a big truck rear ended and totalled it. TheCentury was giving me 22 or more m.p.g. and it had the same sizedengine and was of the same year. In fact, my Toyota engine wasrecently rebuilt. When they did this they didn't replace the wires andI assume they did replace the plugs. Otherwise, I've made sure it hasbeen tuned properly. I also keep the tires correctly inflated. ShouldI expect better mileage? Can I do something else to improve it? I knowthat I'm not alone in this quest.
