got roof lights and 33" Cooper STTs which obviously isn't helping but I've fitted a TRD CAI and haven't even added the lift yet. even with a really light foot I managed to squeeze 215 miles before the light came on, i probably average 180 with mixed town/highway though (lowest was 155 miles with board/skis on top). Now, if this is 'normal' then I'm ok with it, however, I see some people getting 300 miles per tank- I've got no hope. am taking it to the dealer in a couple of weeks but they're not sure they can hook up their diagnostics as it's an import. any thoughts? (yes... the handbrake's off ) I should add - using 95 octane.

Thats about right at lest for me. I am lucky if I get 180 before the light turns on. But I am a MT lifted larger tires and all pro air dam with 2 lights on rood rack. Also almost all city driving.

same here with heavy traffic lately with lots of stop and go......33" tires, 3" lift. Hoping after I get a few thousand miles and do an oil change it will improve slightly....also going to put a better breathing air filter in her...and a better muffler. between those two and full synthetic fluids I am hoping to get a couple miles per gallon back. Plus going offroad sucks the gas down pretty quick too...LOL

she's a "Brick.......House"
08 FJC, Brick, Auto, Nitto Terra Grapplers (295), ATrac, Locker, Budbuilt sliders, ToyTec 3" lift
84 FJ-60, blue, body lift, BFG AT on oem steelies, Warn Hubs, mostly original
285/70/17 BFG AT's on the stock alloys with roof rack and stock suspension and I get 300 - 320 miles on a tank.
When I was running my 285/50/20's I would get 320-350 depending on all highway or not. I get 20-21 mpg every tank. That is with 60% highway.
I have a light foot and run 65 mph or less, never more.
Under 70 mph the mileage increases considerably. Buy a ScanGuage 2 and track your actual mileage accurately (among other things). It helps to know what different driving styles do to fuel consumption. Heavily modified, I manage to average 17 mpg highway, which means that the fuel light comes on at about 250 miles (with 4 gallons to spare before it's bone dry). So if I ran it dry - and I don't, I'd be getting about 325 miles per tank.
