Who drives their 60/62 most on a daily basis?

[VTCruiser]

Yup, about 300 miles per week and a 2000 mile round trip home to VT and back a few times a year.

Edit: oops, i though it was just "who drives thier 60/62 on a daily basis"... I do, but definitely not the most, i live only 3 miles from campus.

I have an 80 and I daily drive my 60! I don't worry about gas mileage any more. When the tank gets low, I put more gas in it.

Sorry to be the odometer police, but you guy's that are posting miles per tank, is that corrected for tires and gears or just the reading off the odometer? While I'm not lucky enough to drive mine every day, when I do drive it I get about 200 to 220 odometer miles between fill ups and can reach past 250 when it's all highway (when I'm highway driving I usually stop based on time, not on how full the tank is). I'm running 33" tires and have 4.56 gears so my odometer reads about 8% high (per my gps)

Yep my numbers are spot on

It's my only vehicle. 35's, roofrack, the whole deal every day and everywhere I go. I get about 400 miles per tank. (2h)

My wife just stopped using the FJ62 as her daily driver last month. Need more space with three kids, friends, sports equipment, and groceries.

The 60 is my DD. My commute is 7 minutes in the morning and 11 in the afternoon. Notice I gave it in time rather than miles? That because my speedo doesnt work, so I also have no idea what my mileage is.

Any long road trips, or other around town, we take the wifes '00 4Runner. 19mpg.

Same here, daily driver since 1991. About 20 miles round trip, it's always the best part of my work day.

 

[Benji]

Drive mine 4 miles round-trip each day. More here and there and whenever.

 

[zmontgomery]

used to drive anywhere between 200 and 500 miles a week, now theoretically I could only drive about 12 -4 miles to work and back, 3 days a week- but it seems like more and more I get sucked into driving up to the ski slope, (I guess everyone enjoys the landcruiser much more than the jeep wrangler or dodge Intrepid) which is 30 miles roundtrip. It's ok though, cause I get $5.00 everytime for the 2 gallons of gas I burn to get there and back.

my 60 is my work and pleasure vehicle. It runs every single day. love it love it and love it!!! gets me 26 mpg in the city too....oh yeah, it's an hj - but i'm only running 31's so that helps and also makes me a sissy.

 

[MR.FJ60]

Every day driving here too! Don't even care about the gas milage anymore. I love driving it every day that there's not even a point on keeping track on the gas.

 

[ChuckB]

I was driving 180mi one way, twice a week, before I left on deployment. That doesn't including daily driving around town. I was getting around 12.5 mpg mixed driving. I'm running the 32" rubber OD. Now I miss the 60 because Im stuck in the sandbox for 5 more months

 

[adidasprof]

I daily drive mine in downtown Atlanta. My round trip is about 45-50 miles and I get about 240-260 miles per tank.

 

[89s rule]

And I have you all beat. My commute is 2.1 miles. I go back and forth 3 times a day. It is brutal.

Afraid not. as stated above my commute is approx. 1 mile round trip

 

[mmw68]

DD here..round trip each day..........maybe 5 miles!

 

[3puttcop]

Got a company car...but on my days off I drive it, I have averaged 4K a year for past 4 years.


However gotta drive wifes Tahoe today...waiting on clutch master from C-Dan....should be here today!

 

[Grease Cruiser]

DD for me. I've got 5 Cruisers and this is the only one that I have running right now. 50 miles a day Monday thru Friday. Weekends, usually 150 miles.

I have put over 17K miles on my 60 since last May.

I am getting 400+ miles to the stock tank. I can push 500 sometimes but it's stretching it. I don't like to run it that empty.

I am SOA on flat springs running 33X10.50 BFG AT's. I have a 5 speed manual tranny. Oh, and did I mention I have a Cummins 4BT.

 

[grrlscout89FJ62]

DD for me .. about 50 miles round trip, 5 days a week.

That may double soon though, since we may be moving to PHX. I sense an AC service in my future!

Actually .. it would probably be the same distance as now, just a LOT slower.

 

[kim]

DD for me as well, 86 HJ60, 26 mpg, 400 miles per tank. My wife has an 86 HJ60 auto, 21 mpg, 300 miles per tank.

 

[cbmontgo]

I fire up my 60 about twice a week, but I am flying so much these days that it stays home...it won't fit in the DFW parking garage with that roof rack! I probably drive it 50-70 miles in a given week.
