    On my TRD 4x4 DCLB I get consistently 16.8 to 17 mpg in town, on the highway it will do low 20's easy. This is with OEM tires and suspension but I have a topper, roof rack, rock sliders and a 2 pack of aftermarket steel skid plates.

    I get roughly 21 mpg. I use cruise control constantly. On the interstate I only do the posted speed limit of 60 (and I stay all the way in the right lane - washington drivers drive slow in the left and pass on the right but that's another story for another day) I rarely have the issue other members mention where the transmission keeps searching for gears when cc is engaged. When I go up a hill, it downshifts once to maintain speed and shifts back up when it begins to taper off and level (the elevation change on my commute is 400 to 200 back to 400 roughly). I try to make sure my tire pressure is roughly 30 psi according to the monitoring system on the truck (the dealer likes to fill them high). When I accelerate from a stop or when I've had to slow down, I accelerate modestly. I don't do too much city driving. That's pretty much it.

    24.3 at my last fill up. Measured by the truck computer and my own calculator which are usually <.2 difference. This is of course with summer fuel and summer conditions. This will vary from 21 to 25 with 98% city/suburban driving and a lot depends on how I hit the lights, get stopped by trains or if I hit a lot of fast food drive throughs

    I have 2983 miles and use 87 octane. My best is 27.8 and have an average of 25.3. My commute round trip is 52 mile on a mostly coastal drive. I average around 26 - 26.5 mpg on the way to work, and a bit less back home as there is a gradual increase to around 600ft in elevation. I encounter about a dozen lights and very little stop & go traffic. I am in the "frugal" group that pays attention to how I drive; coasting to traffic lights when I can, light on the pedal, etc. I'm assuming at lower/lowest elevations engines run a bit more efficiently - lots of air to feed the hungry beast.

    14-16 mpg... Only use the truck to camp, so the tent, rack and everything stays on the truck. Larger tires and I’m going off the Dash Display so I’m probably getting closer to 17 in real life... Meh, it’s all about smiles per gallon not miles per gallon :thumbsup:

    Prior to lift, wheels and tires, I was averaging 19mpg on my daily 60 mile round trip commute on LR E 265/75 16 KO2s (speedo not corrected).
    Post lift, wheels and tires I have been averaging 20.2 on same commute (speedo corrected and GPS verified, computer within .1 of hand calc mpg).

    Some caveats to my improvements in numbers while lifting and bigger tires:
    1) speedo was never verified prior to the lift running 265/75 16
    2) I am now using LR C 285/70 17 KO2s (wheel tire package came in 7lbs less per corner by my scale)
    3) I have taken to setting the cruise at 76mph for my daily commutes (started after lift and tires), maintaining more constant speed with less accel and even less hard accel
    4) I believe, though have not verified yet that if I went back to not using cruise for my commute that I'd be in the 18.5mpg average range.
    5) I drop about 1.5mpg with my RTT on the bed.
    6) I see no consistent measurable improvements when my tonneau cover is installed.

    64,000 miles on truck presently
    Most all miles on local 85 gas
    YMMV - pun intended
