What is your mileage??

[HockeyFreak]

My wife and I are looking into getting a Highlander (probably 2005-2007). What are you guys getting for mileage?

Thanks,

V6 AWD.... 2001 HL

19.8 MPG AVG per tank when i do the math myself, but my button on the dash says 22.9 (its a little optimistic)

right around the time of 80K my milage started going down. it was up around 21.5 when it was new. thats with 70% hwy diriving.

2005 v6 awd still with OEM tires. 33psi all around during spring to fall. 32 psi during winter. Mobil 1 oil with mobil filter or pureone filter, which ever is on sale at the time.

20-22 mixed some spring to fall, 19-20 mixed during winter.

25 highway on my last trip from NJ to VA beach. I believe I could've done a lot better if i didn't hit traffic going down 95; baltimore, dc, somewhere in virgina, a total of 1.5 hours in traffic. Had the AC on the whole time as well, when i was moving I was avg'ing 70-75 mph most of the time.

2007 V6 AWD = 19 (mixed city and hwy driving)

2006 AWD V6 summer 17 winter 12
2002 FWD V6 all year 20 better on only highway

06 Highlander Hybrid
winter 21-25 (in town)
Summner 27-31 (in town) Highway 26-28 mpg

All are actual calculations

Dr. You need new O2 sensors, if you are on the original they are getting quite lazy (80K is the life of a sensor even if it does not thro a SES code).

My 2006 Highlander V6 AWD will give me anywhere from 18-22, this is with 38PSI on fronts and 36PSI on rears (both hot PSI). These MPGs are higher than other V6's with the same vehicle weight. I have quit complaining about MPG after hearing horror stories from my colleagues who own other vehicles.

I drive a 2004 FWD V6 and I'm currently getting 26mpg with mixed city/hwy driving. (This is an actual calculation). However, I should point out that I'm driving *VERY* conservatively to get this number... I never go above 60mph on the freeway, I make sure to accelerate gently, and I try to brake as little as possible by anticipating red lights/stops/slowdowns and coasting (in gear) as much as possible.

But for reference, when I used to drive "normally" I would get about 22mpg.

great idea i have been thinking about changing them out, Do you know which sensors the PCM use for fuel ratings? The ones on the manifold, or the ones farther down the exhaust.

I am not sure of that, well you are better off replacing all of them. Eventually you will get the code when they fail.

But if you are on a budget and want to only replace the ones that control the F/A ratio to the ECM, then have either LT or some certified technician pitch in their inputs to the thread.

I source my O2s from www.ngk.com (best prices and no splicing etc, they come with end connectors). Avoid stealerships at all costs, the markup is quite high.

13-15 mpg around town and 20-23 on highway. rogernf

23 mpg (3.0L AWD) average speed 60 mph for 35 miles. Otherwise it's a very uncharacteristic 15~16 mpg average between each fuel.

In my 04 with 2wd and a 4cyl I get about 22~25 around town. On the highway we get between 26 and 28. In winter it gets much worse, I would say down 3mpg.
