mileage on FJ80 and FZJ80

[cary]

My 1996-

11-12 mpg around town, 13 mixed driving, and 15 on the freeway. I would maybe get 16 on the freeway if I was nice, but both my wife and I tend to cruise about 80 and are heavy on the gas.

That picture is not a 93, but a 91 or 92. $9k would be a lot for a 91 or 92. Why was the engine rebuilt?

From the wheels and flares, this looks to be a '91/'92 with a homeboy tint job --

-- I got mine for $4500 in December -- original drivetrain --

-- what's up with the hood??

The hood? I dunno. I think he didn't close it all the way after he showed me the engine. Yeah, it might be a '91 or '92. I don't know about the tint job. The thing is I never paid much attention to the other vehicles he has around being 40 obsessed and all. I'm going to keep my eyes out for a locally soccer mom owned 80 used as a grocery getter. It seems that half the cars around where I live are SUVs. Funny how you don't notice stuff 'til you're interested. I now notice a lot of 100s driving around. Not so many 80s.

Too much coin for that one.

just checked my mileage for the first time this weekend. 15 mpg. That's after i took off the arb roof rack. Oh, and that was driving from 900 ft. elevation to 4,000 ft. elevation and back down.
