That's reasonable enough.
My current 87 2.2L 4cyc 4Runner is getting around
19-20 overall. But it doesn't have enough power to get
out of it's own way! I'm used to that anyawy. I don't
need pull-tree-stump power, and realize that this will
be a bigger engine w/ bigger disp. But would liek the
newer OBD computer controlled smoothness!
