beaver,
that is pretty good mileage for a 6. don't know what i am getting yet, but, i fear it will be bad. i have the 3.slow V-6 as do all 90+ toyhouses. i have 120K on it and just did a valve clearance check/adjustment. all my exhaust clearances were tight, some very tight, and i fear i may have already incurred some exhaust valve burning. we will see after i get a few hundred miles on it to get an idea of mileage.
do you post at toyotamotorhome.org or the yahoo group? there is a lot of debate on the yahoo group about the use of OD. your input there with MPGuino data would be interesting.
many seem to think that they should never be run in OD due to tranny overheating issues. my take is that OD can be used, but you need to be smart about it. running the 4 cylinder autos in OD with your foot into it, is a bad idea. better to leave it in 3rd and let that 22R spin. it can take it.
