MPG

Just ran the first tank through her. Got 18.3 mpg mostly highway and BABYING It hard

 

Last tank was a record low. 90% city and 12.8mpg, Toyota needs to release the next gen soon because this is brutal. If the next gen doesn't blow me away I'll be in a German diesel SUV for sure.

 

My 14 AC manual v6 avarages 22mpg, with a leaveling kit and 33s. Can really complain about that.

 

This blows me away, as my 2011 DCSB manual averages 15.5mpg with 32's and a 2" lift.

Ontario must be all downhill.

 

Sounds way low compared to what others get. You're down at the low end of the bell curve, if you look at Fuelly stats for Tacomas.

Are you correcting your odometer for the larger tires? You might try checking your odometer against a measured mile. Are you sure your tires are properly inflated? A chalk test might be worthwhile. Maybe she needs a tune up. I don't mean to talk down, just saying there's probably a reason for such disappointing performance.

 

So I've filled up six times, tracked five of them with Fuelly. Best tank is 19.7, at the time of this writing, I'm averaging 18.9. I try to keep the tach under 2.5k at all times.

(I know I have the little Fuelly banner in my Sig, but I figure it will change over time)
