So far I've gotten around 300 miles per tank in the city and that's with about an 1/8 to 1/4 of a tank left. I haven't seen the light come on yet.

I cruise 65 on the highway and have consistently obtained 31.5 31.7 mpg on my 2.7.

The most I've gone on one tank (21.1 gals) is 671 miles (all freeway).

I have the 4.0 V6, 6 Speed with a topper. I have a K&N drop in (the AFE drop is in the mail!) and removed the secondary air fliter. No lift, stock wheel size. I average 18.6 MPG. My drive is always 50% stop and go, 50% highway and 50% AC. Before the topper my best fuel economy was 19 MPG. Removing the secondary air filter gave me a 0.3 MPG gain.

I'm averaging 16.x mph with my TRD V6 6speed manual all city. From a full tank to well after the light comes on I can hit 300 miles.

Pretty disappointing, don't full size v8 trucks have that kind of mph?

The specs tell me that my '09 has a 21.1 gallon tank.The first few times I filled up within 20 or 30 miles of the warning light coming on I hardly got 18 gallons in.

Is the owner's manual a little off or do I actually have something less than 21 gallons.

It's definitely a 21.1 gallon tank. Toyota has a filler neck that's kind of restrictive so that the consumer won't accidentally overfill to the point of a gushing spout when it nears the top.

I have filled my tank as slow as I could so that no bubbles would force a premature pump stoppage. You have to fill it really really slow towards the end of the fill, sometimes stopping every few seconds to let the flow settle.

I've gotten over 21.1 gallons into the tank and it wasn't easy. You just have to try to keep big air bubbles from forming in the tank.

By the way, I've just topped 8,000 miles on the vehicle and I'm getting 32.1 mpg driving on the highway @ 65. In town I'm averaging 24.8 mpg.

I suggest buying a ScanGuage II unit, using cruise-control even in town, and applying the eggshell modification (light accelerator foot).

I love my truck.

I totally topped off one day and made a complete round-trip from central CA to Los Angeles (Simi Valley) - back to central CA on one tank. 684 miles total on 21 gallons used (according to the scanguage and the next topped off fill-up).

I thought that was pretty damn good considering I had the A/C on most of the way and had to traverse the GrapeVine both directions.

Came out to 32.5 mpg

I travel to my property near Colville Wa. from near Seattle, it's 345 mi., over a mountain pass and through the Columbia River gorge. I get to the property with over a 1/4 tank left and the scan gauge has me at 23 mi per gallon. 08' Access Cab TRD 4.0 litre. My interstate speed is 65 mph and I coast when appropriate on the county roads.

Others can call B.S. if it makes them feel better, but those are the facts.
