60 mile commute on flat land. In the mountains it drops to 18-20 mpg
depending how hard I’m pushing it....
That’s great. I wish mine would come close to that. It’s strange that there is so a wide discrepancy in fuel economy.
I can get about 22 in my 60 series land cruiser with its 12HT and 5 speed.
It really does depend on the driver and terrain, and in my case what's loaded in the back. Hunting trips to AZ from here, a couple of passes along the way including a 6300' one before I leave the state, and loaded with all my gear for a 7-10 day hunt I'll get about 17mpg.
Empty, as empty as mine gets that is with all the weight it usually has that 21 mpg like in the picture is pretty decent. If I took the fiberglass shell of, the pipe rack, and emptied the bed I bet I could get closer to 25 on the flats.
