I drove to the bay area and back, and really wasnt impressed. I got 248 miles on a full tank when I went to SF yesterday. Plz somebody tell me this is only because its breaking in lol.
Your kidding!! Do you have the 4x4 manual or 4x4 automatic? Anyone remember the fuel capacity?CACressida said:I drove to the bay area and back, and really wasnt impressed. I got 248 miles on a full tank when I went to SF yesterday. Plz somebody tell me this is only because its breaking in lol.
Ahh..sorry to say nope...calll it real world..lets see 248 mi with 18 gals + 13.7 mpg do you have a MT or AT ? How many gals to fill up ? How are you driving it? May get a couple more MPG but not muchCACressida said:I drove to the bay area and back, and really wasnt impressed. I got 248 miles on a full tank when I went to SF yesterday.

Well, i was a bit heavy on the throttle when powering into the freeway 3 times, smoked a few hondas on the street after revving at me, wat else... oh, i out ran some rubber necks that followed me every lane i took, some would even keep pace with me side by side. 15.714 to fill up full. But im really hoping its just a break in thing. Cuz man, my 4runner has some meaty tires, a brushgaurd and a thirsty 3.4l, with a 16' long trailer strapped to its ass yet it takes 3/4 tanks of gas a trip from Modesto to: Hayward, San Leandro, Walnut Creek, Concord, Richmond back to San Leandro, drop a 481lb engine in the trailer and back to Modesto. Fillup 3/4 tank was 12.something gallons.oldawg said:Ahh..sorry to say nope...calll it real world..lets see 248 mi with 18 gals + 13.7 mpg do you have a MT or AT ? How many gals to fill up ?

Does my mother in-law count? MuhahahhhaFJconvert? said:Did you have a moose in your FJ?
Don't worry about mpg right now. You're smokin' people and having fun. Just focus on that...CACressida said:Well, i was a bit heavy on the throttle when powering into the freeway 3 times, smoked a few hondas on the street after revving at me, wat else... oh, i out ran some rubber necks that followed me every lane i took, some would even keep pace with me side by side. 15.714 to fill up full.

You would last about 10min in L.A. on that before you became someones hood ornamentpdrmant said:Here's my daily driver.....71 mpg and it's fun, too.
I could get 10 mph in the FJ an handle it. But not
everyone is MAN enough to drive a scooter!
That puts you right at 15.75mpg I wouldn't expect to see much over 17mpg best case...Then adding a ARB bumper,33" tires ..whew...defiantly not well suited for a Calif daley driver again is this a auto or manual transmission ?CACressida said:Well, i was a bit heavy on the throttle when powering into the freeway 3 times, smoked a few hondas on the street after revving at me, wat else... oh, i out ran some rubber necks that followed me every lane i took, some would even keep pace with me side by side. 15.714 to fill up full.

If you drive 15,000 miles a year at 15 mpg that is 1000 gallons of gas=$3,500Aris said:if anything, the mpg may be the deal breaker for me, since i would have to use it as a daily driver. :\
He said daily driver! who drives daily at 15,000 miles a year ? Cant be done in Calif where everything is a 30-60 mile comute..Also that comes out to 300.00 a month on top of a 5-600.00 payment,insurance,maintaince!! Im telling ya this will easily be a $1000.00 a month ride as a daily driver at least in CalifMauiJim1 said:If you drive 15,000 miles a year at 15 mpg that is 1000 gallons of gas=$3,500
if you drive 15,000 miles a year at 20 mpg that is 750 gallons of gas= $2,625
This is based on gas at $3.50 a gallon
so it cost you about $875.00 more in gas than the average mpg in america.
that is $2.39 a day. Just give up starbucks and you there.

That is the price you pay for living in CA! As many tree-huggers there are in CA you would think they would build mass transit.oldawg said:He said daily driver! who drives daily at 15,000 miles a year ?
