I wanted to see what all 4x2 owners are getting for gas milage, is it better than then the 18mpg that toyota rates it.... I am going to mostly be driving around town nothing crazy.. I just wantedto see what the true milage was.. thanks for your help!

mine fluctuates quite often. it really depends if i gas it or drive conservatively. if i gas it , of course it drops quite a bit, but if i take my time, i do make more than 22mpg on the highway. i keep the cruise steady, just enuff for it to get me home in a decent amount of time. city driving, well, i guess it depends as well. and u'll see the difference, like i said, it depends on ur style of driving as well...
DO NOT buy this truck if you need/want good mileage. It just isn't going to happen. A 4X2 will get better mileage than a 4X4 but that's besides the point as the FJ still has the aerodynamic profile of a brick. This is not an economy vehicle.

when my light comes on it is usually around 300-305 miles on the trip meter. I usually fill it up within a couple of miles of the light turning on , which takes 15.0-15.1 gallons. so...... right at 20 m.p.g. using premium in every fill up. The one time i tried blue gas i got around 17 m.p.g. , so I won't do that again. besides , We are only talking .18 to .20 cents more per gallon, which is 3 bucks more per fill up. so premium = 20 m.p.g.
I live in the city and its stop & go I get about 18 mpg. the truck is a box on wheels. if worried about gas consumption buy a pruis hybrid. its great offroad.

20MPG with 87,89,91, or 93 and a mix of city and Hwy.
Lite comes on at 300 miles, when I fill it it always takes 15plus or minus a little. With 4gal in the tank I should have near 80 miles to go.
Got the same with my Ford Sport Trac V6 4x2. I am a Happy Camper with my 4X2.
It is so consistent I just watch my trip meter instead of the gas guage.

Reason: Had to add about use of trip meter.

The original poster was just asking what you 4x2 owners are getting for mpg, that's all. No need to lecture him on fuel economy.
Anyway, I barely have any miles (read: not broken in yet) & I'm averaging roughly 18.3 mpg with 50% city/highway.

Not lecturing at all. I'm simply saying that for someone who is concerned about mileage, purchasing an FJ is the wrong decision. What fun is driving a vehicle when all you can think about is how much gas you are using, or whether or not you should coast down this next hill to save some money??
There is a sticker on the windshield of the vehicle saying 17 MPG City and 21 MPG highway (I think)... this is what you should expect in normal driving conditions.
