I just bought a 1994 4Runner last week and it gets about 13 miles to the gallon. I don't know a whole lot about cars and was wondering how to improve my gas mileage.

They are poor in this category but I changed my o2 sensor and tweaked 2 more miles per gallon out of my v6 (94) I am up to 19 mpg now. The 02 sensor cost me 120.00 at DAP and it will take many mikes to recoup that charge.

There's a lot of factors: Size of tires, aftermarket parts, how heavy your foot is, maintenance, air filter, exhaust, towing, 3,000 pound stereo equipmenmt, just to name a few, can affect your MPG.

neither, dont get a k&n air filter if you ever drive off road or in dusty, dirty conditions. K&N filters have been known to let dirt through to the engine, not just dirt, but visible to the naked eye dirt. BAD NEWS

Get the AMSOIL (mesh) or TRD (cotton) oiled air filters.
Also, make sure you keep your tires at recommended or slightly higher than recommended pressure.
