Only getting 16MPG on my new 2017 Tacoma TRD sport

Seems like no matter how slow i drive, my MPG is around 16mpg. i've got 4K miles on my taco and Stock suspension and tires. Whats the deal?

 

pretty normal depending on where you are, inclines, declines, stop and go, how much highway, how you drive, you know...the usual

 

Average speed is a good tell of what your mpgs should be.

Winter, stop and go kill mileage. For example, our Honda Odyssey got 12.8 mpg on the last tank. All stop and go, lots of short trips, idling sub 0 temps. In the summer on highway it can get close to 30mpg. So quite the swing.

 

16mpg is normal

 

Yep, I'm getting about 14.5-15ish right now with our recent winter snap

 

It will improve when it’s warmer out!

 

let the engine break in. youll be seeing better millage after 10k. im a 15k and getting 18, but i have the manual which get 1-2 mpg less than auto.

 

I miss thoes days when all my hondas got 30+ the first gen crx si was pushing 35mpg but my eyes are not headlight friendly anymore so sitting 3” off the tarmac =blind 1reason i upgraded to the taco

 

If you are really concerned/curious, let the truck warm up for a bit. Shut it off to reset the trip MPG then go for a drive. Winter cold snaps really bring those numbers down.

 

On a warm day, going about 60 on a flat interstate you should be getting close to 20 mpg.

 

Yeah, my wife's prius gets about 56MPG---avg doesn't seem affected one bit by winter...haha

 

I'm getting about 17.5mpg tank average in my 2017 TRD Sport here in Michigan, truck has 10k miles. Definitely worse when it's very cold, like a couple weeks ago when it was single digits for 2 weeks straight.

 

18 TRD Sport and the best I have gotten was 26mpg. 55mph, flat and 70 degress.

 

my 2018 DCLB OR got about 16 on the first tank in December (I live in NW Montana so its cold). 2nd and 3rd tanks seem to be improving and i'm averaging 18-19 for the tank. my driving is probably 65% Hwy and 35% in town. I also rarely drive faster than 65 in my area; so that really helps.

 

But how far did you drive to get this 26mpg? I'm going to assume a very short distance after resetting the trip.

 

you wont get the advertized mpg as stated by toyota,,, unless you are going downhill for along time.. miles and miles,, with a tail wind..

 

Also, if you're in the Midwest, you likely have "Winter gasoline".....10-15% Ethanol. This will lower your mpg compared to summer.

 

16 mpgs is typical of city driving or hey driving over 60mph in the winter.

 

You must have just reset the odometer, gotten on the highway and started cruising cause any amount of city/in town driving will kill that number. I've noticed that if i get gas off an interstate and immediately jump back on i'll see 25-27 but thats all artifically inflated

 

I've averaged 20-21 on pretty much every tank and I just hit 10K miles. I drive a mix of town, highways with lights spaced a bit more and some small sections of interstate. I actually get worse mileage on the interstate likely due to higher speeds and more wind resistance.
