I'm creating this thread in hope that people will post the things they've noticed or they've done in order to get the best MPG from their FJ Cruiser. I'd be interested in hearing what MPG people get with their FJ at a given cruising speed. I have a sneaking suspicion that if you could drive the FJ at a constant 35mph, you'd get better mileage than had you continuously been driving at 55mph.
First off I would like to ask a question of my own:
When is overdrive enabled on the FJ cruiser? 35mph or 45mph? What speed does torque converter lockup occur at? And also, does the FJ allow the utilization of overdrive AND bring the RPMs down to 1000? It just seems like that once overdrive is enabled, the FJ sits at 1500RPM and climbs from there (depending on speed). Has anyone DYNO'ed the FJ cruiser yet? Does it have graphs from idle all the way to the rev limiter? I believe I saw one DYNO sheet but it started at 1500rpm and even then it didn't seem to make much sense in the numbers it had. 25lbs of torque at 1500rpm? Seriously?
