what sort of MPGs do 6 cylinder manuals get?

I was wondering what kind of MPGs do folks with 6 cylinder 4x4 manual Tacomas get? My 2012 sticker says 16 town/19 highway. The best tank I've got so far is 23mpg (mostly highway) and 20mpg a tank is pretty common. Is it true the automatic Tacomas get better MPGs or is that Toyota skewing the numbers to sell more autos? I always experience that manual trannies got much better MPGs Any tips to help me get 25mpg? Thanks

 

Search is your friend. This topic has been beaten to death.

 

i have a '13 DCSB V6 manual and i average 19mpg. the majority of my driving is highway commute at 70mph on cruise control.

 

Unfortunately it is true the auto get better mpg's. (not by much) I had a 6spd and now have an auto. But, honestly its not much of a difference in my case. I could manipulate the 6spd to be as good as my auto is now. Just I dont miss all the issues I had though..and lugging it everywhere

 

My 6 speeds gets 15.5 as seen in my fuelly. Consider yourself lucky with 19.

 

i'm still on the stock 265/65-17. when i upgrade tires i had planned to go to 265/70. i see that's what you run. will they make that much of a difference?

 

I average about 16.6 mpg's on my 2006 manual. Stock everything except AT tires and a cap on the back.

 

I get 18ish in town and 22ish on the road

 

Anywhere between 16.5 to 18 MPG. Never better on my '13. Going from 245s to 265/75-16s made no difference for me.

 

Specific to V6 but it's hard to filter to manual only:

My V6 manual access cab is lifted with 33" tires and I get 15-16 mpg as an average. Before the modifications I think I was around 17-18 mpg on average so mods definitely changed my mileage.

 

Pretty simple, average is around 20. But to be precise you need to factor in a few variables. Wind, tires, tire pressure, wheels, gas, your foot, temperature, auto of manual, traffic, unicorns, lifted or not lifted, passengers, window tint, sport or off road, air filter, spark plugs, synthetic oil, wiper blades, exhaust and truck nuts.

If I missed any please feel free to add to the list.
