    Well lake louise skii hill is 390 km away and I can get there on slightly less then a half take so ye 800 is about right that's all highway though all city would be 600 or less

    Also people 800-600 KM and I own an automotive shop so my truck is looked after perfectly

    440kms, putting 63-64 liters in the tank.

    But that's with Armour, Winch, 33"s and a heavy right foot. My truck rarely sees under 2000 rpms lately.


    The first half of the tank will get you more KMs than the last half. You won't get 800kms. Get that needle down past E and show me your odometer.

And in the summer with 17" (BFG's all season) burning premium fuel, i average around 550 and have even got up to 600 kms few times. Oh and these numbers im driving for about a half hour with the fuel light on. So better fuel bigger tires and better weather gets me better resaults. Cheers fellow Canadians Al

    ya i have a new 2012 v6 manual... i got 455 and the light came on. Filled up 67 litres..meaning 13 left...so maybe an extra 80 kms in there if need be. Would be nice to know though. Why are these trucks so thirsty?...you would think being 2012, toyota would figure out a way to make them more efficient. Oh well, it is what it is. Still great going through the mountains in the winter.

    Well on my two tanks so far both at $84 or 66L @ 1.259

    1. 504kms mostly highway and some heavy accels
    2. 410 this tank was mostly around the city and 4x4ing.

    If i drove nicely, I could probably get close to 600 hwy.
    Right now i'm driving nicely for a city tank.

    I've gotten 460kmut that was pushing it to the limit. All highway driving (In Alberta so no hills) and I put in 83L when I filled up.

    In B.C. my Mileage drops quite a bit. I have to Drive from P.G. to Vancouver Island this week so I should get a good idea of how much the mountains come into play. Keep you guys posted.

    Edit: The 460/Tank in Alberta was done at about 140KM/H the whole way.

    Yeah , I noticed I run along flat highways at 110 km/h in D at 2000 rpm , and putt along up and down the hills where I live at 60km/h at the same rpm's .

    Stretching it out at highway speeds sure helps the MPG

    I'm only getting 16 l per 100km guess those goodyear M/TR's look good but cost a lot in fuel, I always check my KM when the gas light comes on , at 65 l for me.

    Always seem to be around 400 no matter what I do, best tank was 430 km all highway at 130 km/hr last summer.

    No idea... I've never used regular in it. It drinks the gas pretty good around town.

    It does a bit because there should be no ethanol in premium.
