I had an 85 Toyota ahort cab 4x4 for 250K miles.
22r With the Carb.
It never got less than 20 (When stock) even in town and regularly got 24 to 26 highway.
I did learn two things owning it.
1. It has a Unique to that year ignition module that is real expensive (Under the coil) 84 trucks had a older version and 86 on were mostly injected.
2. i tried a webber but it sucked on the 22r engine. You get more power at WOT but nothing else was better, I put one on and took it off within weeks. The stock toyota carb worked flawlessly the life of the truck. It did not have a honeycomb or screen spacer stock (At least mine didnt.) The webber issue I partially attribute to the cheasy adapter they used between it and the stock intake manifold, a fully cast specific manifold might fix the issues. Don't know.
3. in 85 the 4x4's came both carbed and injected. I had several friends who bought the injected rigs and none of them could keep up with me offroad especially climbing dunes or big hills. The EFI would not make the top end power my carbed rig did.
YMMV
