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.

winter 21-25 (in town)
Summner 27-31 (in town) Highway 26-28 mpg
All are actual calculations

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.
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.
My wife and I are looking into getting a Highlander (probably 2005-2007). What are you guys getting for mileage?
Thanks,
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.
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.
on a full tank of gas from fill up and pressing the odometer 0 button to first instance of yellow light i get 398 to 410 depending if on the street or freeway respectively. so average about 403.
full tank is about 16.2 gallons
403 divided by 16.2 equals 24.87

True regarding o2 sensors. they will impact mpg when they give sloppy reads to the ecm. Only a total fail will yield a DTM, ecm will read way out reads and trip a code.
A/F ratio adjustments are dependant on these o2 sensors among other sensors.
What is your mileage??
