How many miles do you get with a full tank???

91r100gs · 07-03-2008, 07:42 PM

Just did a recent fillup of 15.45 gallons, and the guage was a bit under 1/4 tank and I ran 403 miles on this fuel. It equaled 26.15 MPG. Love my fuel sipping Taco. Very

wbhvacer · 07-03-2008, 08:05 PM

460 miles or so when fuel light comes on

PaintEater · 07-03-2008, 08:36 PM

I can go about 660 miles a tank...oh, sorry, that's in my '02 VW Jetta turbo-diesel. I usually fill up the Toyota at around 250 but it still has 1/4 tank.

deadbolt · 07-04-2008, 12:33 AM

how many gallons are usually left when the light comes on?

tacoma man · 07-04-2008, 04:12 AM

Just put on the first 460 miles on the 08 Tacoma on one tank when light came on. Mixed city highway. Great truck! Hope it gets better.

My truck's low fuel light comes on at 17.5 gallons from full. That leaves me around 3.5 still in the tank.

ditto on all accounts for me, v6, auto, double cab, rugged trail package, 265/70/r16 baja rims n tires. i sure hope it is real because i have no way to check if my mileage is true other than the odo at the moment. mixed driving also and i usually do not exceed 55 because i use it for work and don't often go where i can exceed that.

famousfernando · 07-04-2008, 07:32 AM

man how do you guys get such good milage i get about 245 and thats pushing it and i dont think i drive that agresive

sprouse70726 · 07-04-2008, 09:19 AM

Just wanted to bring this up, I've noticed alot of gas stations here in Louisiana have gone to a ethanol / gas mix for better emissions. I 'think' it can contain up to 10% ethanol. When I use this gas I get much worse gas mileage versus using 100% gas. I been keeping tabs on the gas mileage my wife gets in her Nissan Murano using one or the other and she get's 5mpg less using the ethanol / gas mix. I also get worse gas mileage in my Tacoma with the ethnanol / gas mix. Are you guys using 100% gas when you are calculating your mileage, or possibly the ethanol / gas mix?

This is because ethanol does not contain the same amount of potential energy as gasoline does.

thats still a lot.. hmm my light came on and i filled my car up all the way. however the pump kept on stopping for some reason. soo i really dont even know if it was completely full.

08DCTACOMA · 07-04-2008, 10:28 PM

I got a 2008 DC tacoma, I believe the tank is 17.6 gallons, Im lucky to get 230 miles on a tank. im calling bullshit on someone getting 350 miles or so on this tank in a DC. tacoma, just my opinion.

Lift and tires affects mpg.

06tacomaprerunner · 07-05-2008, 12:13 AM

Uh... Ok. I guess the odometer is broken. I've never had less than 300 on one tank. Usually between 330 and 345 with 87 octane (lowest octane in TX).

lifts, tires, driving style, etc... they all affect your MPG. He has quite a few of these working against him. You apparently don't.

I am in the same boat as you - hardly ever get less than 300 miles, and its usually because I filled up sooner than absolutely necessary.

the tank is 21 gallons total and you can call bullshit all you want it won't change anything for me and an average of 20mpg hauling 400lbs in mixed driving not even broken in yet white rugged trail pickum up truck.

jrubi25 · 07-05-2008, 12:29 PM

hey i get approx 320 miles on my 2007 tacoma sport. Let the engine break in. i do alot of city/highway driving.

danb86 · 07-05-2008, 06:58 PM

'09 Access Cab 2wd, 5 lug...

Only 600 or so miles on it since new and my wife just got 379 miles out of 14.5 gallons (26.13 mpg) which left us 1/4 tank on the guage (6.5 gallons to 21). Cost us $63 to fill up @ $4.35 gallon for 87. Most of our driving is semi-highway as it's not stop and go but we don't get above 50 and mostly only 40 mph.

I'm going with the AFE CAI in the next few weeks and looking forward to the engine breaking in a little - maybe we'll be getting closer to 30!

Read the owners manual. You have a 21 gallon tank.

I've gotten 500 miles on a tank a couple of times--with the low fuel light on. Usually get 430 to 450 between fill-ups.
