- michaelrpeskin 2y agoMy daily driver is an ‘89 4Runner that gets about the same milage. That sounds bad in this climate, but for 35 years and nearly 300,000 miles I have not had to spend the energy/resources/carbon to build another vehicle and dispose of this one. From my experiences Toyota tends to over engineer on the reliability side rather than optimizing for fuel efficiency. It’s all trade offs. You can tune the engine that may not be as fuel efficient but it may last longer.
