I need to make my truck a lil more fuel efficient, i dont think I even get 23mpg.. I drive an 88 with the 22re so I thought there might be some way to take advantage of the fuel injection and better tune it for fuel economy.. I mean It's a 2.4L and the truck weighs close to nothing, what can I do? Ive made a habit of doing small things like not using the a/c and always putting it in nuetral at a sit still to take some strain off... But I think further modification is necessary so im pre-pared for this $4/gal bull**** most of it I think is the transmission that is probably geared lower for torque, might be what is killing me on the highway..
U guys lucky I'm proably less than 18. Miles a gallon small tire setup four speed on the highway feels like I have a hole in my tank
Sh!t with my 4speed 411 rear end and side drafts. Forget it just park it.lol Gas over here is like $4.65 per gal.
Cover all of the basics: 1)tune up 2)correct tire pressure 3)drive the speed limit 4)no jack rabbit starts ----------->>>>just to name a few
Gas is 4.15 a gal here but I put in 4 gallons the other day drive 30 miles a day an it got me 4 days. Mines a 91 22re ex cab with over 200,000 miles
if you have a 5spd swap in a taller gear from a 4spd truck i buzz 80 at about 1800rpm and slight pressure on the gas pedal maybe pullin 27 on the highway and it will idle through town in 2nd /3rd so i hardly ever touch the gas in town unless im showin up a v8 my truck was originaly a 4 went to a 84 celica 5spd stock rear has 398XXX showing on a odo that has gotten stuck so many times i think the truck has closer to 450K never been rebuilt drained the sludge when i got it filled with lucas proceded to smoke tires everywhere god i love toyotas
hey kev55 hope you got that yota of yours secure they say a storms headed your way are trucks could blow away in a strong gust
I Wud b so happy to pay $3.65 u have no idea Cali is ridiculous right now on gas it just went up to 4.19 a gallon. I guess there was a fire at the refinery in te DIESEL part of the plant so everything went up. It was about 3.65ish before tht tho. Its been high all year
it's been going up though.. I figured i could do something though. everyone always makes a big deal when I say ~23mpg as if Im driving a 4cyl wrong or something... yo ricer your right! and Im in the south right in striking zone too!! I didnt even know the rest of the country was hearing about it cuz its just a tropical storm, or local news.. you got me so worried now.. I just got the truck right I just dropped insurance coverage to drop the monthly I park under a tree its the perfect..... storm.....
Gas is $2.20/L over here in nz.. so $8.80/gal nzd.. and my 3Y 4spd gets 400km to a tank if I'm lucky >.> I think it went up about 50km a tank after she dropped an intake lifter, and I get that lumpy cam sound at idle
