What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Very good, considering winter blend too. Best ive gotten with shell on my v6 extended supercharged was 20.8 on the summer blend, 100% highway though. Winter blend i havent topped 18.6 driving very cautiously

 

Yep 13. 14 mpg if the stars align.
Bullshit but I like my truck anyway

13-14 for me too. Was getting 17-20 before the winter.

 

Same here plus I live on top of a mountain...

 

Looking good there other Derek.

 

Got my ass kicked by a cv boot

 

Dats a wide azz

 

Thanks! Hope she is up and running soon.

Nothing like getting new shocks or tires! I'm excited. Going to drive like a totally different truck now.

 

My mpg has shit the bed too.

Winter gas plus 1 mile commutes for the most part. Might as well be driving a V12 Lamborghini.

Plus I think when I buggered the stud on the upstream O2 sensor it's never seated properly and is probably screwing things up.

Plus I'm convinced the lift and front end swap is causing negative effect.

 

Who checks mpgs? Just fill'er up and keep on keeping on.

 

I bet the lift does contribute quite a bit, doubt the front end swap would be noticeable though.

 

Only checked for verifying engine health.

 

That's like saying who checks the receipt, just sign and keep on going

 

Eh, at some point, you know how many miles your truck should be doing. No need to check the mpg. Can deduce from how far you've gone on a tank whether the truck is healthy or not.

 

I can in the summer for sure, winter is more unpredictable with the truck working hard to maintain speed in deep snow and the gas being garbage. But I try never to look at the price on the pump, I know I have to fill it no matter what so why bum myself out.

 

Doesnt help gas is getn up around $1.50 a litre.

 

that's insane. It's just over $2.00 a gallon here, and expected to come done in a few months.

 

I know someone can help me out here, I'm about to order new shocks for the rear of the truck my question is go with bilstien 5100 or 5125? Can someone tell me the difference between the two??

 

5125s are 5100s that come in a variation of lengths and 2-3 valving choices.
