Found the cool link for figuring out your corrected speed depending what size tire you're running, b u t, how do I figure the actual mileage with different size wheels/tires. Currently running 175/65/14 Meaning MPG by the way. Thanks

I got over 60 mpg 5 times last summer. Of course, my average speed for the tanks were well under 40 mph! I can only imagine what us non-XFI drivers could do with an XFI! Right now I'm averaging 55 or so. I'll get putt-putt back on the road once I'm done hypermiling this tank on the 03 F250 6.0 I recently bought. I'm hoping for 26-29 mpg on this crew cab diesel. A lot to ask for, I know, but I think it is doable. |

Does pré hybride means that it runs a little on the battery? Is that the green light whats lighting up in the middle? Dont have a clue how much its run( just by mine because it was a cute little light convertible). but i know its much cheaper with patrol(benzine) already than my mitsubishi galant |

No, pre-hybrid means before Toyota came out with the Prius.
That green arrow is the shift light. If you use a light foot on the accelerator and shift with the arrow, you will get the best fuel mileage (supposedly). |

48mpg. Okay I checked my 4banger w/3speed auto. (Early Dec.) I was also on open highway behind 2semi's. Speed was 50-55 mph. Everyday real world driving I get 31.8mpg with her. Haven't checked my 3cylinder 5speed yet. |

You want most of the time without the green light. If the light comes on, shift as soon as you can. I usually shift at a particular speedometer speed that I know is just before the green arrow on. |

G3 four cylinder tranny is the same as an XFI tranny, 3.79. G3 three cylinder is the same as a convertible tranny, 4.39, not what you want for mileage. G2 standard tranny is 3.95 or 4.10 depending on year. G2 four cylinder has the best highway tranny, 3.53. Europe got the G2 until 2004 or so, India and Pakistan still have them. |

Oh yeah, forgot something. The G3 cars are too big and heavy for the three cylinder to work very well, that's why the crazy gear ratio. I've had two three cylinders and two four cylinders, the threes got 43 mpg and the fours got 40 mpg. Not as much difference as you would think as the three cylinder is working very hard in this application. |
