    Sell me on a 470

    My MPG is abysmal. Is it the AT tires, or maybe something else?

    Hey guys, I'm the new owner of a 2015 LC 200 with about 240k on the clock. The dealer I bought it from put BFG KO2s (65s) on it, which worked well for me since it will be used for trips around the Southwest. But the MPG I'm getting is pretty abysmal -- about 9 MPG in stop-and-go city driving...

    Hey I may as well try posting here. I recently purchased a 1981 C1500 with a propane conversion. Its a 305 high compression with a high lift cam and a single plane Holley intake. It's running an Impco 425 mixer, Model L vaporizer, and a vacuum lock off. I filled the tank at 64,593km 137km and...

    Spontaneous high mpg?

Smog guy said it wasn’t holding vacuum, so I replace it and it failed again. He was a bro and passed it, but said to comeback when I fix it...

    MPG or Smiles PG

    what kind of gas mileage are you guys getting? Before anyone comes for my head . I drive a lifted 4Runner as my daily so I'm not too concerned just generally curious. And about how many gallons does a full tank get you? Thanks in advance. 1981 Fj40 4 speed

    Poor MPG after carb rebuild

    Hi y'all! I have an '81 FJ60 and last summer he started dieseling after I'd turned off the ignition. It only lasted a second or two. Long story short I did the following things trying to remedy it: *double checked timing *new spark plugs * new fuel pump *ran some BG44 through a tank of gas...

    The cost benefit logic on tires is different?

    Hello, I paid $6.75/gallon at Costco today. I couldn't help but think about the difference between 10 and 11 mpg. My entire life the primary reasons to not inflate beyond the door sticker is due to inconsistent mpg improvements to justify the known expense, excessive tire wear, ride quality...

    Giant Loop Armadillo Bag utility bladder review

    The fine folks at Giant Loop Moto sent me a 5 gallon prototype of their new Armadillo Bag utility bladder to test drive over the summer and the new bag did not disappoint. I’d been using their original 5 gallon fuel bags to carry extra petrol (that original review is here) on a few trips for the...

    2020 and 2021 LX570 lower EPA MPG, why?

    I noticed that the 2020 and 2021 LX570 have a lower MPG than the 2016-2019. Does anyone know why? 2020-21 MPG: 12 city / 16 highway 2016-19 MPG: 13 city / 18 highway Interestingly the 2020-21 LC maintains the same MPG as 2016+, so what is different in the LX to lose a few miles for the...

    What am I doing wrong? 4.1 mpgs!

    Granted I’m towing ~6,000 lbs with wind but WTH? Currently driving Denver > Albuquerque > Grand Canyon > Vegas > Moab but barely making it between some pumps. Otherwise the tow experience is great for a non-HD truck but this seems a bit off.... BTW the trip odo is showing the full trip not...

    Mileage Update

    I have been tracking my 80s MPGs since the rebuild. Interesting to see the trend slowly increasing over time. We plan on driving the rig from Mt. Hood to LA next week, so I am interested to see how some highway-only fillups affect this data. Red dots show prior to rebuild. Average is 12.35...

    My average is 11.3 mpg in town, always

    Yes, another MPG thread. Skip if you're bored with these. The difference is mine gets very low fuel economy but is almost completely stock. I only have Dueler AT's in original size and nothing else, no aftermarket roof rack, no lift, I have played with tire pressures and am now at 32-front and...

    4.88s for better MPG??? (Is there any hope?)

    I replaced a bone stock 04 TLC with a lifted an armored 13 TLC on 34” aggressive All Terrain tires. I realize that odometer is off because of tire size, I realize that lift, weight, and tires all work against mpg, still I am surprised at how MUCH of a hit I am taking. :princess: complaining...

    4.56 or 4.88 on 35s

    I just bought a '93 LC with 35 BFG AT tires and will be doing a OME 2.5'' lift soon, thinking of regearing to either 4.56 or 4.88. I do a lot of highway driving but will be doing some offroad as well. How will this affect performance particularly MPG?

    MPG loss after lift, bigger tires, and other outfitting.

    What are poeple's experience with MPG losses after mods: lift, regearing to 4.56 bigger tires (34), and heavy mods like bumpers? Is it realistic to think that I'll go from 18 to 15 on the highway cruising between 65-75 after mods? I'm getting 18-20 stock.

    Anyone seen mpg go down after switching to 20" tundra oems?

    I found a great deal that I couldn't pass up but I noticed right away how much heavier the wheel/tire combo is compared to the 16" stock. I can't imagine this is good for mpg but hopefully someone else here with experience can tell me otherwise?
