Here's a mystery of the 1997 4Runner. My girlfriend just traded in her 1997 4Runner for a new 2014 4Runner Trail.

The old 4Runner got between 22-25 MPG highway, which I witnessed more than once. The new 4Runner gets 18 if your drive very carefully. I know the new 2014 has a larger engine, but this is a giant step backwards for Toyota in terms off FE.

There must have been something special about the 1997 year for the 4Runner.
