MPG with 4x4 and 3" lift

I am wanting to put a 3" lift on my 2008 4x4 Trd offroad. A guy around town has the exact truck with a 3" lift and says he is only getting 9 MPG. Sounds crazy to me since I get around 18 now. What should I expect? Can anyone with a similar setup give me an idea.

 

well, all depends on how big/what kind(mt or at) of tires and how heavy your foot is.9 mpgs sounds like bs but if he isnt running a scan gauge hes not getting the right speddo reading witch will throw your mpg figures out the window.mine didnt change that much going to a 32" tire.i can still get 20 mpgs on the highway.

 

I'm running a 3" lift with 33" MTR's and get between 14 and 16. That's a combination of highway and city. 9 MPG is way low.


Oh, and there's a lot of extra weight on the front of my truck too!

 

That's about what I expected.

 

yeah, that guy must not have passed math class. 9mpg would make more sense if he was running 35's, but i don't think that's the case. i have 3" with 265/75's on a 4x4 and i consistently got about 18.75mpg for my last 3 tanks. and that is a mixture of about 60% highway and 40% city.

 

im running 19 highs with 33s KM2s and a supecharger

 

Cumulative City and Highway... about 18. I have 33.4" Tires, 4x4 and DTLT Headers/ TRD Exhaust Piping/ Dynomax Superturbo Muffler

 

i got 3" lift and 20's and 33's i get bout 15 to 16

 

I am averaging 17mpg when I correct for larger tires. I try to make lots of notes in my fuelly log. Check it out, set up your truck and monitor your current mileage, or just look at the other 600+ Tacomas on the site.

 

stock suspension 19-20mpg 31x10.5 r15 tires

 

I have an 04 with a 3 in lift and 33in mts. I get about 15-16mph. no matter how I drive it it always seems to fall in that range.

 

3" lift, 33" mickey thompson mtz's, 16-18 mpg.
stock was 18-20 mpg.
also, mileage was taken off the scan guage so the distance readings are correct.

 

ok i'm running Dick Cepek Radial F-C II with 4" lift and 35s with a supercharger and APR X-1 with 7th Injector now and i'm getting about 13-15 through town, though that cause i have a heavy foot but i will be going on a highway trip soon so i will let you know highway but 9mpg, he probably needs to get his speedometer calibrated for his tires.

 

what is a APR X-1 with 7th Injector?

 

AAL billies at 2.75 and grabbers 265 70 17 im getting about 19ish avg. 350 tank...70 hwy30% street lift it!!!!
