TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota 4Runner

Toyota 4Runner Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2006	The 4Runner's dated powertrain--its automatic transmission is down three gear ratios compared to the Jeep's--and brick-like aerodynamics aren't good for fuel economy. EPA ratings are just 17 city, 21 highway. The Jeep with its V6 engine does the same in city driving, but 3 mpg better on the highway. Plus you can get a diesel engine in the Jeep, and it rates 21/28. In real-world suburban driving, I managed to coax the 4Runner's trip computer average as high as 24.6, but high teens and low 20s were more typical. On the highway the trip computer reported 20.5, close to the EPA rating. see full Toyota 4Runner review

Toyota 4Runner Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range	Mid size and large SUVs are not good on fuel economy. While shopping this market fuel economy was a consideration. Fuel economy is projected at 17 mpg in the city and 22-23 mpg on the highway. This is one of the leaders for vehicles in this class. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2008	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Higher than average for this size and type of vehicle. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Best mileage for a vehicle that can tow 5,000 pounds. 21mpg in the summer for my typical daily driving. see full Toyota 4Runner review
1999	0	Trying to improve MPG above 17 may not happen. The previous owner Beat this poor old 4Runner, only put in a new trans, which is now slipping ever-so-slightly (not low fluid). Had to put in new exhaust - all, and mass air flow sensor. Maybe that's to be expected at 150k miles, and maybe these problems are more due to owner neglect. Altho I obtained this vehicle as part of a package deal (together with the mobile home I bought), I really wanted to love this truck, but during these firstfew months, so far it's not making me very happy, and I love to drive! Next vehicle will be a standard transmission, before they're all relics from a distant and fading, forgotten past! see full Toyota 4Runner review

2007	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	Getting an average of 16-17MPG with V8, but I expected that see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	If fuel cost is a concern, then this is definitely not the vehicle to have. Manages 18mpg combined if driven carefully. Does what it does extremely well so nothing unexpected. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	The dash readout is optimistic. I often though I was getting over 25mpg only to calculate as low as 14--on the highway! Ultimately, this was the 4Runners undoing. I traded it for a much more efficient Camry. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2004	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	I knew going in that it would use a lot, but it still makes me grimace. Still, when we had a foot of new snow and I was driving around stalled and tire-spinning vehicles with absolutely no difficulty (on Michelin all-seasons), you figure that it balances. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2004	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Not that I dislike the 4runners fuel economy, actually for a large sport utility it does pretty good, just done buy a suv if your looking to get good gas mileage. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2004	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	It uses quite a bit of gas, I average 16 l/ 100km, or roughly about 15 mpg, and I do fair bit of highway driving. see full Toyota 4Runner review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Versa

Nissan Versa Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	0	Trip computer indicated 36 MPG in mixed urban and highway driving. Appears to be accurate based on how much gas I put in it at the end of the rental period. The urban driving also had idling time so was not fuel economy friendly. see full Nissan Versa review
2013	4dr Sedan 109-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I did a lot of start and stop driving this summer at a camp, constantly reving up the engine to slowly drive over terrible speed bumps in the road. �When I left Georgia, my average MPG was 31.3. �When I arrived back in CA, after going 63 MPH (give or take 2) the whole way, my average MPG was up to 32.7. see full Nissan Versa review
2012	4dr Sedan 109-horsepower 1.6L I4 CVT FWD	Better than EPA estimates. Averaging 38 mpg combined - 42 mpg + on hwy. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Sedan 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	34 mpg on long (3200 mile) road trip see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great mileage for this car. I am consistently getting 34+ mpg on 80% highway driving. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Averaging 30-31 miles per gallon, mostly highway miles, lowest average was 29.12 mpg. At around 2.50 a gallon, it takes me less than $30 to fill up. Range gives for about 360 or so miles. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I've never measured it, but the mileage seems to be very good. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	just got 44 miles per gallon on a trip with cruise control set at 65mph. I could not believe it.. This was all on flat terrain. see full Nissan Versa review
2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Good gas mileage, especially for the good amount of room in the front and back seats. Also,lots of cars with good mileage have poor safety ratings due to their lack of mass. The Versa has the best safety rating of the small cars, and sits up higher. see full Nissan Versa review
2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	i loved that when i did my 1000KM Brisbane to Sydney trip i only had to fill up 1 and a half times see full Nissan Versa review

2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Anecdotally I have heard that the Versa gets significantly worse mileage than it is supposed to get (which is worse than the Fit to start with), whereas I get better mileage with my Fit than it is rated for. see full Nissan Versa review

2007	4dr Sedan 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	The EPA revised the fuel economy downward soon after I purchased the car, my fuel economy is very unimpressive despite careful, moderate driving habits. see full Nissan Versa review
