Gas Mileage

Here's mine. 2015 DCSB

 

really on the "never use cruse control if you're worried about mpg" I would have thought the cruise control would help the mpg... not so?

 

Nope - cruise cause the tranny to "hunt" or downshift more when climbing hills - negative effect on MPG when the RPM's are constantly jumping.

 

that make lotsa sense for an auto but my manual?

 

My get about 17.5 mpg town and freeway.
Mileage @180k with custom bumper and Leer cap . Running 265/75r16 BFG ko2.

 

It won't anticipate hills and will actually speed up 2 mph faster on the hill. For best mpg you prepare for the hill and allow it to back off the speed you want to go by a couple mph. But that's me with 285s.

 

Wow! 9 years dead thread! I'm over here 3" lift, 265/75/16, 39k miles, no plug swap yet, probably 100 lbs of bolt-ons, Volant CAI, Magnaflow catback and I get 18.5-19.6mpg.

 

I get between 21-25 mpg with my 2.7 4x4 2008 access cab manual transmission, toyo at lt265/75r16 tires.
Depends on how I drive, I don't think my tires are helping, which is fine by me. I think with street tires and fine tuning I could get more, but it's winter here and I need the traction.

If I keep my rpm low ( 19-25k ) it really helps keep the mileage.

My 2005 v6 on the other hand got 15-17mpg. So I'm pretty happy with the mileage, the four bangers definitely get better mileage from my experience.

 

Anything between 12-22 MPG for the 4.0 V6 seems to be normal. Yes it's a wide spread that depends on mods, ambient temperatures, hauling/towing and driving style.

 

I get 16-17 on the V6 4x4 2015, 265/75/16 tires, and armor, and roof top tent

 

18-20 mpgs, a really bad tank nets me about 17 and the best i'll get is 22

double cab, stock tires and tonnou cover

 

Aren't their 18,000,000 posts on this already

 

33 now

 

19.5-21 mpg every tank, V6 Access cab, AFE intake and a Aeroturbine exhaust. About 70 ish pounds of add ons (not that it really matters at that amount) Just drive like a grandma and you fine! 70 mpg is the fastest i go, fuck cruise control.

 

Yeah but not 9 year old zombies like this one

 

2015 TRD OR stock with tonneau and just under 23,000 miles average 20-22 mpg. Typically driving around 60 mph to and from work with around 60 miles of city driving on each tank. Got around 20 mpg driving 75-80 mph from Colorado to New Orleans and back.

 

Might help on flat ground and I mean flat

 

I have a stock 2014 AC 2.7L 4X2. Just past 11K. I just calculated mine last night and I am getting 31.34 MPG. I have a tonneau cover but I don't think it has much to do with it.

 

Other then mountains or steep hills, nothing beats cruise control.

 

At first I was like, NO WAY! but then I saw your engine size and that makes more sense...
