lead foot...

 

4X4 access cab 4cyl w/5 speed. Get 17 to 19 local driving and 21 to 24 hwy. Depends on how much I stay off the accelerator. Driving like a old man, I get better mileage then how I normally drive(10 to 20 mph over the limit).

 

23.68 mpg on last tank, mostly interstate but some stop and go in the city, yoo.

 

Update: I just hit 22.3 mpg on about 40% highway and 60% city driving. I didn't run into TOO much stop-and-go traffic but did encounter some. This is my best mileage to date for these kind of conditions and by no means was light footing it.

I'm impressed for it being a PreRunner..

 

In my 09 Prerunner dbl cab V6, only got about 17 on the highway, @ 65-70. Very disappointed - my previous gen Tundra V8 got 18.5. Why do the pre-07 Tundras with the same V6 get better mileage than the 09 Taco?

 

Give the engine some break-in time. It's brand new!

 

I just got my worst fuel economy, but it's still impressive considering!!! At last fill-up, it calculated to 16.8mg. I drove a good bit during this tank in 4wd, and let it warm up longer than usual.

 

First tank- 60/40 hwy/city 18.5
Second Tank- All city- 16.5

Pretty good, I think. Hopefully it gets even better as the engine breaks in.

 

First tank of trip went 75 mph and got 17mpg. Second tank went 65mph and got 20.1 mpgs

 

Averaging 21-23 mpg per tank

4X4, 5 speed, Regular cab w/ tonneau cover and Firestone Winterforce tires

 

22.53 today

 

driving like a grandma with no care for time restraints.
im getting 14mpg US. i was getting 17-19 and happy. about 3 tanks before, um late late november or early december-13.5-14mpg US!!!!!!
ethanol 10% since august so its not that.
temps here in medford oregon are 20s at night 30-50 during day since october. so its not that. i think
changed plugs, maybe wrong spark gap?
changed carrier bearing, little vibs but not going to hurt fuel economy-right??
98,000miles on 2006 v6 4x4 ac cab taco.
help!!!!!

 

mixed driving - around town, little highway, little 4 wheel drive. All smiles though

4x4 Access cab, 4 cyl, 5 speed

 

Average between 16 and 18 MPG the last month. I am sure as the weather gets better my MPG will improve.

Bluntchisel, welcome to TW

 

I have an 09 V6, auto crew cab , LB 4x4 ,and i'm carying around about 600lbs on a regular basis. I'm only getting 12.2 miles per gallon and thats city and highway driving. I asked the dealer about that and he said maybe it needs to breakin more. BULL.

 

Lately I have been getting about 16-17 here in MI with my 05 AC Prerunner. But when you take into winter grade gas, let it warm up a few minutes in the morning and fish tail around snow covered corners I guess that's not too bad.

 

how many miles do you have on the truck. It does take about 1000 miles to break in.. you will see your miles increase over time. Mine started out in the 14-15 mpg range and then jumped to around 18 mpgs. I get 20-21 if I keep it under 65mph.

 

I have 1400 miles on it. I hope your right. I don't mind it right know when gas prices are under $2 a gallon, but we all know that can change. Hey are you using regular gas or premiun.

 

regular gas from the supermarket pumps

 

key thing is to say under 2000 rpm
