29.5 mpg 08 4x4 2.7l. Wow!

I drove from nor cal to socal with a 50mph tailwind and got over 29mpg. My truck is completely stock. Usually i get 22 mpg. Amazing!

 

Thank you tailwind. I got 26 in my ram one time and had to do the math likr 5 times because I thought there was no way in hell. So don't expect it all the time But congrats

 

Must be nice!

 

Wow. Just hope that you don't get the same wind as a headwind coming back. Aerodynamics really do make a hell of a difference...

 

That's awesome, for sure! My best so far on the highway was just a tick over 27 mpg.....that's with a regular cab 2wd, 2.7L, auto....all stock save the AFE air filter.

 

29.5! No wonder, it's all downhill, right? : )
Just curious, what was your avg. speed? under 65?

 

I get ~22 mpg, but I drive 75-80, so I guess I pay a premium for getting places quicker.

 

Yeah...I got my 27+ doing just over 60 mph.

 

When I went from Tucson to Flagstaff, I ran Shell Premium (91), I got 24.6 MPG going 80 MPH.

 

It wasnt downhill. I rarely went over an indicated 65

 

I got 17mpg hwy in my 4.0 once. That's the best I've ever gotten.

 

going up and down I-5 I get 17-18 MPG regularly at 70 MPH, cruised, with 265/75s and long travel, tires inflated at 45 PSI

 

29 thats good.

 

I got 21.1 going back from Tahoe to the bay. Mostly downhill from Tahoe to Sac with 4WD on, snow and rain. Once I got past the snow I was running around 60-70 depending on the road conditions.

Then on the next tank I got 15.1 driving like an ass everywhere and only did like 15% highway driving on that tank.

 

It would be cool to have a Tacoma ralley where we would drive some where for a gathering.
