Fuel Milage for your 2nd Gen Taco..

As title says check what your truck is getting for fuel.. along with size of engine and what kind of driving you do mainly and also what you get for towing... approx weight...

I have 07 4.0 tacoma and i get 16mpg, usually speed limit, mainly highway, and towing a 1900lb boat i get like 11mpg

I noticed its practically the same as the tundra

 

Worthy topic, but you'll find a lot of information related to this for the 4.0 here...

Oh i know but i figured id set up a poll for those who are looking at buying a tacoma or just curious on what other people are doing for fuel, and see if they have done anything to increase it...

 

Check my Fuelly link down below.

 

You got something going on man. Im getting better MPG than that towing a boat in the mountains......

 

I've been averaging about 20mpg in my 2013 access cab 4x4. I also do about 90% highway and its all stock at the moment, but not for long!

 

Huh? I have a '12 dcsb with bigger tires and a 3" lift, use 87 gas, and am aggressive and get 19.6.

 

My mileage is shown below. I mostly drive locally.

 

22mpg country (2 lane) avg 60mph/21mpg interstate avg 68mph/18-19mpg city

 

Not bad for a V-6

 

I average around 14.5 every tank on 91. Mostly city with a little highway, probably 75/25. Granted I'm running 285/75/18's with the 6 speed. Not too shabby though, love it nonetheless!

 

how the heck is everyone doing better then me lol at 16mpg?? I always drive speed limit maybe 105km but still, i have 170000, unless my fuel milage app is off? I have 265/70r17, or 75r17 cant member.. but ya and no mods besides muffler

 

I get 20-22mpg I got 4.0 v6 DCLB with 3" leveling kit n K&N air filter rest all stock.

 

Usually right around 19-20 on average. I tow a 6x10 trailer 1-3 times a week weighing from 1000-2900 lbs and at least twice a week travel around 70 miles round trip with my KTM in the bed. About 300-320lbs with gas and my gear bag.

 

20.6 on last tank. No towing and mostly hwy but in traffic. 2013 DCSB Baja with stock tires until they wear out.

 

19-20 summer, mixed. 20-21 highway (Using speed control)@ 55 drops to 19 at 65.

 

21.8 on last tank. around trip to cabin. 19.6 is the least truck has ever done.
Run both 87, & 93 flip between the both.

2012 DCLB sport stock w/are topper.

 

Overall I'm averaging 19+ mpg but I have gotten 22+ mpg on the highway. My overall mileage would be 20+ but I've pulled my 2,700 lb pop-up camper quite a bit this summer and I only average 17.5 when I'm pulling it.

 

Obama says "PUT AIR IN YOUR TIRES"

 

You've definitely got something going on there. Are you running oversize tires or something? Leaving the E-brake on? The suicide doors on an Access Cab open at 60?

I've got a 2010 4.0 4x4 Access Cab w/a slushbox, and I was averaging 22-23 with the original 245's, and since moving to 265 Duratracs I've still been getting 20-21 in mixed driving (50% back roads, 25% highway and 25% in town), and that's including the 11 stop lights I go through each way commuting to work.

What mods have you done to your truck that might be affecting your mileage? I've heard that the intake box power boost mod thingy gives you a power boost, but sucks your mileage way down. Same thing for some of the aftermarket exhaust systems. And of course any weight you add contributes to the problem, as well as any external add-ons and doodads that increase drag.
