Just curious, What is your MPG on you're FJ40? (1 Viewer)

[Jackson Hanes]

My sticker said 11-18 MPG back in 1978. Most of the time it got 11 mpg and I only remember getting 18 mpg and that was coming home from skiing in Jackson Hole in 4 wheel drive.

It did not matter if I was a stock or using the Rochester 2 jet carb with a header. I even replaced the distributor that did not have a vacuum retard.

When we drove to SLC to get a Celica the MIL was driving when they picked me up at work and we had to stop in Evanston to fill up because she was burning way more gas the when I drove. I drive from Green River, WY to SLC with stopping for fuel. I never let her drive it again.

How fast were you going? We’re you on the interstate?

I get 14.5 on mine
Ls 5.3
37" generals
4 speed
3.7 axles
That is if I stay under 70. Above seventy it gets about 13

What's above 70?

After reading this entire thread I’ve come to the conclusion that FJ40’s seem to be hot rods in France. I’d be white knuckled and terrified long before I approached 80 MPH in my stock rig.

I use to get mine up to 80 once in a while.
