Follow the advice here- tune up, valve adjustment, stock size tires, no extra cargo, shift early, find a tailwind, etc.
For passing smog, all the smog stuff needs to be up to snuff.
Buy the factory emissions manual and follow it front to back. Be ready to spend some $$$$$ and time.
BTW, my new to me 87 FJ60 is getting about 10 mpg in town and about 14-14.5 on the highway (I tried to saty between 60-65 mph and 2600-2800 rpm's). I am getting ready to do the full tune-up and see how much and if it helps.
