I have a Sami running 205/70-15s, with a Thorley header and 2" exhaust.  Carb is a rebuilt stocker and the engine runs strong for a Sami 1.3 with a stock carb. 

I average 22-23 mpg, running 65 mph on the freeways.  I've seen 28 up in the mountains taking it easy, and 24-25 taking it easy, 55 mph and under, near sea level.  Drops to 20 running 70+ with the A/C on.

I have a 2wd with the 3 speed Auto and on the road at 60mph I get 32mpg.
 It has 205x70x15 tires and spins at about 3300 rpm. 
I'm going a little taller and see if it will get any better.

how about while towing?

1990 sidekick 2dr stock 8V with 2" exhaust. 235/75r15's 3inch suspension lift. did 21-23mpg WHILE towing a 4x8 trailer loaded with 1400lbs. truck was also loaded down too.

took it to the scales on the way back and subtracting the curb wieght of the truck i had 2800lbs EXTRA! had 4 people and truck was loaded down plus the trailer!


took it out to alberta the next weekend with the trailer empty and got 25-26mpg! just giving it up the hills, tops out on the flat at 120kmh... with a downhill it will run up to 130km/h and stayed running that until an uphill section, then back down to 90-100km/h till the top of the hill.

they arnt speed demons on the highway especially with a trailer, but it tows pretty good for a light duty rig. truck pulls nicely around town though.

cant complain about those mpg numbers when towing a trailer up and down the hills. also, thats a truck with 365,000km !!

I have seen a couple of the 660 Jimny's for sale on import sites up in Canada.  I always thought that would be an interesting ride to pick up.

I have an 86' Samurai, I have only taken it on one 150 mile trip. I managed to make the whole trip without using a single ounce of gas, but the Jeep that towed it was getting about 14mpg......lol.
