Post your '16 MPG

(Waits for a manual basher to tell us the auto is more efficient and better in every way...)

 

I have serious doubts that a 30 to 40 degree temp swing will affect fuel economy on most vehicles (including the 2016 Tacoma) as significantly as we're seeing in the numbers reported here.

 

Okay, I have about 1400 on my 2016 DCOR now, the first 3 tanks were getting no better than 15mpg with mostly rural driving. My mpg on my last tank for the same driving, temps within a few degrees on the tank before, same driving style and it was 18.6mpg. All figures with pen & paper, not going by the dash 'puter. I know there's folks out there saying your mileage off the lot is probably what you're gonna be getting. But there's also a lot saying their mileage starts climbing up with the miles logged, I'm one of them. Glad to see it improving and will keep y'all posted if this was just a fluke.

 

This was mainly freeway driving with some stop and go traffic. I have a DCLB OR with snugtop, about 100 lb's of luggage and 2 other passengers and ECT on. I think mpg's are better with ECT on too..

 

Typically I get 18-19 but I filled up this morning and paid close attention to my driving on the way to work. I will probably never see this again so I had to take a pic.

 

Just filled up today 23.98 mpg. Every tank with real gas (5 tanks) has been 24 mpg. 10% ethanol has been 21 to 23 mpg. Ethanol sucks! I have the 4 cyl 4wd manual trans. 245 75r16 tires. 10% hit with ethanol. It would be better better if the farmer poured it on the ground and gave me .9 gal of gasoline. Then I wouldn't have that crap in my truck. What a waste!

 

A bit over 2K miles. First few tanks were averaging 19-22 mpg based on driving conditions. I bought an air dam and switched to ethanol free gas, 87 or 89 octane (doesn't seem to make a difference) and have been consistently getting 24-25mpg on the computer. Haven't hand calculated.

I changed both variables at the same time (air dam and fuel type --- in addition to being around the reported "break in" period). Pretty sure they're all contributing but I'm happy with the mpgs. Not too different from the wife's odyssey.

 

Auto is more efficient and better in every way

 

I have to kindly disagree!!

 

have you seen the fuelly numbers for both?

 

DCSB, auto, 4X4! WV mountains and curves LOL!!

 

Did some tough mudding and got 4.5mpg while in the off road area!

 

Took a 500 mile trip this weekend and only got 16.4 mpg. There were some small hills and seemed like the truck was constantly shifting to keep its speed.

 

damn i get anywhere from 19-21 cant get any more than that unless im traveling at 55 mph

 

Turn off the cruise control before a hill and it won't down shift as much

 

My mpg is dropping due to the nice weather we are getting. We went wheeling on Saturday and Sunday!

 

I took my first road trip today without a trailer and felt inclined to share. Mostly under 65 in cruise. I was impressed. Have 3167 miles right now.

 

Usually between 20-22, but there are benefits to a spring snow storm in which folks forget to drive

 

so yesterday i went on a drive about 38miles was mainly highway. best i could get was 21.9mpg and I was trying my hardest to get the best MPG I could get
