Compare Fuel Mileage? Really that bad?

If I fill to 80 Liters I am able to run for 490KM till I run out of fuel.

6SPD with 265/75/16

 

I have never even come remotely close to this. But I have seen lots of people post numbers like this and better on our local toyota 4wd club

 

My tank currently has 360 miles on it. Guessing the fill up will be 19 gallons. 18 mpg. Totally normal for me. That's a mix of city and highway.

Gas is $2.50 a gallon who really cares about mpg. Canada rapes you on gas prices and about everything else you can possibly buy. I love Canada amazing mountains.

 

Yeah see thats not too bad mileage. Based on what i have calculated im getting like 12ish MPG. They sure do rape us. Especially on booze. 40 bucks for a case of beer. No wonder everyones broke all the time.

 

Haha nevermind the cost of water!!!
I'm getting 13.5 mpg I was hoping like 18 when I bought the truck haha boy was I wrong. I even tried using a higher octane... all that did was cost me 10 cents a litre more...

 

Debating swapping my plugs, cables, running a cleaner through it, swap my air filter. See if that helps, Bought it used with a little over 100k on it. Maybe she needs a little bit of some lovin. Gf asks where her xmas present is. I say, well.. i got you a westin light bar for a 09 tacoma! youre welcome!

 

Mine only has 48000k so don't think changing parts will make a huge difference. My wife: "what do you want for xmas?" Me: "I already ordered my gift from you... thanks it's just what I wanted !"

 

Better then getting something you'll never use lol. We did our gift exchange a little early this year. Can't believe she listened to my conversation I had with a buddy that closely, she got me the caliraised ditch lights and brackets. Impressed lol

 

First, lol at the anger posters here, eh.

Second, I get a low as 10MPG in my 4.0 but average 16MPG.

 

Yeah see based on my whole tank I was getting 11.9. Scared to find out what I'll get towing my 18ft smoker craft.
Thinking I might hold onto it for 2 years and see what Toyota is offering engine wise then.

 

I have a 09 V6 Prerunner,I drive like an old man cause I kinda am. I get about 17mpg in mostly highway driving. My son has a 2017 Tundra V8 that gets 15.5 mpg, Tacomas are not known for great fuel economy.

 

I was just thinking like I haven't even put 1000 km on it and I've filled it 3 times . Was starting to think something is wrong with it

 

I get 10MPG is towing my trailer which is essentially a 5,000lb air brake. If you're getting that on the road without a trailer something is wrong.

 

@stickyTaco nice setup!

Yeah i think ill try one more tank, totally full, easy driving to gas light, see what ive filled and get another average. Glad i got the extra warranty. Not that itll help theyll just blame it on my foot but hey, worth a try.

 

I assume you've checked tire pressure and your air filter and spark plugs have been replaced recently.

 

When I'm on the highway I get 15-16, around town it's about 18.5 mpg. Subtract about 1.5 mpg for winter blend fuel.

 

@stickyTaco I bought it used from a toyota dealership and they said they replaced all that stuff as part of their reconditioning. But maybe ill double check and throw in a K&N. Tires look good. Maybe ill slightly overfill by a tiny bit to help with the coasting.

 

@58 Siesta What is winter blend fuel, never heard of this lol
