It's unreal how driving 55 saves fuel. Trace all the way home 196 miles. 1/2 tank of gas.

 

[Bomar]

I agree also amazing the power these trucks have prebuilt. Our 04 feels like a sports car.

The 3UZ in the LS430 gets 25-26mpg at 75mph and almost 500 miles to a tank hwy driving. Almost same engine except the 6 speed, which is a huge difference maker.
I bet we would see close to 20mpg with a 6 spd in a 100

Unless you do a lot of city driving the number of gears really won't make much of a difference. The final drive ratio in top gear will though. What are the final drive ratios in the two transmissions you are comparing?

I would guess 3.76 vs 4.10 or 4.33

Having that extra gear on the hwy keeps the LS rpm down to 2k range. Can roll 80 mph barely over 2k rpm

LS only gets 18ish mpg in town driving

 

[Bomar]

Buying gas keeps economy going so I am doing my part.

I pulled the trigger on a 100. I picked up a 1998 with a rear locker and 197k in Mobile today. It will be a slow build, but let me know if you know of any good used bumpers, sliders, lift parts etc....

 

[ntsaint]

Nice!

 

[wngrog]

Well done.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Need to buy my old 100 when it comes a parts truck.

 

[offr0adlim0]

How is your old 100 these days? It's been a while since I've seen it.

 

[MEMCruiser]

New transfer case in DEC. was down for a month hunting for parts. Needs about 3-4k of capital influx.

 

[Bomar]

Trying to get legit. #overlanding

@Bomar gave in to the man

 

[Bomar]

[wngrog]

It's ok to like it too. You don't have to swing like Tarzan off their nuts like I do but .......

@Bomar gave in to the man

Anybody have their fuel gauge hit empty with 75/100 miles left in tank?

I get 12.5 mpg average and with a 25.4 capacity I should go 300ish miles but at 200 miles fuel light hits.

Will probably run her dry one day when carrying extra but wondered what others experience.
