Toyota 4Runner Forum : “looking to buy 4 Runner any advice?”

My boss owns one of these which he drives roughly 50-60 miles one way to work, and he is hurting from the gas consumption here at 3.25 per gallon for regular unleaded as of last evening.  They are great cars but with a roughly 20 gallon tank and the expected fuel economy of a sport-ute, they are not good highway cars for commuting.

Its true they get around 20 miles per gallon.  I have had 1994 to 1999 models.  I think they are a great commuter, you can see over car in front of you so you dont have to slam the breaks as much in heavy traffic.  They are very comfortable. Mine held 16 gallons. They last forever.  http://www.used-4runner.com Mike
