Toyota FJ Cruiser Fuel Economy: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Any vehicle in this class is by no means a fuel sipper, the FJ averaged between 15 and 19 mpg. In 4wd during winter snowstorms it got about 13mpg. Not bad compared to some, but I grew to dislike this.
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 17-20MPG
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed manual AWD w/low range		 Horrendous. Plain and simple. Adding insult to injury, premium fuel is recommended to get top performance.
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed manual AWD w/low range		 SUCKS.
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 PREMIUM FUEL ONLY!!! it gets about 19 miles to the gallon.
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD		 premium required
