I had a 91 V6 auto for all of 6 weeks (was going to be my 3.4 project truck but flight school got in the way). I did one 700 mile road trip in it and found that around town in drove just like my 5spd 22RE Runner. On the hwy it did about a little better on the hills. O/D was kicked out any time the front pointed up, but I still got 17mpg the whole trip. This truck had 195K on it. It wasnt the fastest thing on the road, but it wasnt the slowest either.

In my old Chevy S-10 with a throttle body, 2.8L v-6 I kept the air filter cap on upside down and used a K&N filter to open up air flow. I had to flip it back over in high altitude to even drive up a mountain, it wouldnt even move with the air intake like that, but It was also bypassing any sort of air intake sensors like that, I just didn't know what I was doing, but extra air was terrible for it.

I have a 3.0 with 277,000 miles on it. I live above 6000 ft and i guess its all relative then. It would probably run better at sea level... I know I can drink like Paul Bunyan at sea level.
