How many km's are you getting to a tank (2nd Gen)

Hey guys,

So im trying to figure out if my taco will be more or less fuel Efficient then my old ford.

So my 06' Ford Exploder had a 4.0 V6 Auto with a 82L tank i could go a little over 600km(highway) in the ford using cruse at about 125km/h

Im currently getting almost 400km to a tank if i recall in my 2012 TRD DCSB 6M.

In the end this wont be relavent once the mods start coming but it would be interesting to know what people are getting.

Info on gas type, driving conditions (highway/city), cruse, speed, and last is any mods such as front bumpers and what not causeing the rig to be heavy?

 

Tons of discussion in this thread started by OZ....

On that, I get 425kms to a tank 75% city driving.

 

Somewhere around 450 to a tank with the winter gas. 500+ on summer stuff. 91 octane. That's from full to just when the light comes on.

 

Uh oh its a confused American... How'd he get in here?

 

haha well i'm a canadian driving an american truck :S so i get 360 miles... (579 km) winter gas summer gas, 87 or 91 doesn't maters same milage just the power change is noticeable. i drive a 08 reg cab 4 cyle and sometimes like i stole it

I will check this thread out, that seems to be what i am getting but during the summer i do way more highway.

Alright GTK, i figured it being winter and running around in RWD with having such a light rear end had something to do with it, ill be running 91 come spring time and have had a oilchange, i normally ran reg in the ford but whenever i used 91 i always got an improvment all around.

He wanderd away from the pack...... My best quess

Im going to say that running a 4 banger helps, i went with a V6 due to the fact that i want to put some bigger tires and other offroad equipment along with eventually a S/C

 

What's up OZ, Cheers buddy!

 

Getting about 400-450 km per tank with Shell Gold, only was getting about 320-350 per tank with Chevron mid-grade. Truck runs for about 10 min a day total for warm-up. about 50/50 city/hwy. driving.

about 275-350km per tank Shell 91. I gotta keep it outta boost, but its so hard!

 

Um ya that sucks

 

I get about 400-425 mostly city.

 

Is that when the light comes on?

 

Good point... no I don't let it go bone dry.

 

I'm just asking cause my light comes on at about 425 kms and that's with the lift , Leer cap and E rated 275/70/17's

 

I'm not sure I've ever seen the light on... I drive it harder than need be.

 

I should also mention I have a 6-speed.
