MPG on 2.0 Vs 2.4
 
Thinking about replacing my 2008 2lt 2.4 with a SS. MPG is one of my concerns. Hwy I was getting 30-34 with the 2.4 5spd. What can I expect on a steady cruise with the 2.0?

Thanks

I'm getting around 30-32mpg out on the hi-way, cruise on, steady 75-80 mph, here in Nor-cal. Some hills on trip,I get around 30, reasonably flat, get up to 32mpg.
I have the Trifecta tune, WOT, 26 lbs. boost it goes down to around 25 mpg.
I have a 09 SS, and thats the numbers I've been getting.
If you're thinking about a SS, do it, you'll be happy. "Moon"

Cool. That is what i wanted to hear... Can't find a panel to replace the one I totaled last week so second choice is an SS. Thanks again

Insurance will likely be a bit more on an SS.... Just saying.

I am 27 with two speeding violations and my insurance is 98 a month. And I consistently see 32 mpg on the hwy with me, my wife and two kids. I get about 23 city around here. I hope this helps some.

WOW, $1176 per year !!!!! I'm older w/ clean record. $300 per yr, w/$50. deductable.

believe it or not, this is cheap for around here(the atlanta area). I had an 06 4runner before and we paid 130 a month and that was the cheapest around. I also forgot to mention that my wife is 23. I wish I paid you premium, thats a great price.

I generally see around 22-24 avg mpg...but then again it seems like my right foot is always touching the floor:nuts:
