I just checked the mileage on our 88 fj62 today. Was having a problem with the converter not locking up and finaly got that fixed so I was curious what kind of mileage it would get with the converter going into lockup correctly. Vehicle is all stock except for 31x10.50 ProComp ATs mounted on stock wheels. Engine had recent tune up and Seafoam "black magic" treatment. Filled it up with gas this morning, drove it 83.4 miles to/from work (90% flat highway driving) and it took 4.817 gallons of gas at the same pump I filled up with in the morning. That's 17.3 MPG!
BTW, odometer read 77.2 miles driven and I corrected it by 8% for the tires. During the drive, I drove a marked 10 mile section and odometer clicked off 9.2 miles so I calculated a 8% error.
