Fuel Economy on Pro

Hey Fellas,

I just bought a 2018 Pro and my MPG seems bad compared to others. The best I could do coming home (mountain passes) from the dealer was 17.0 MPG average. I thought to myself well it was all up hill so my next tank should be better. I am at the end of my 2nd tank 75-85% highway driving, commuting to work, and again 16.5 - 17.0 MPG average. The only mod I have done is I put 265/75/R16 SL rated Falken tires on. Otherwise, I am stock. Do the Pro's have a different combined MPG than the OR or Sports? I am easy on the throttle. ~600 miles on mine.

My previous 2018 OR DCLB w/ LT255/85R-16 DICK CEPEK EXTREME COUNTRY E (summer gas) I was getting right around 20 MPG average. Is there something wrong with this truck or normal? Does the winter gas really make that big of a difference? Thanks.

 

Winter gas? New truck hasn’t broken in? Give it a 1000 miles or so before you compare again

 

I've got about 650 miles on mine now and the mpg is def slowly improving.

 

Not a pro, but my 18’ at about 1000 miles and I started hitting the same numbers on my 17’ with 25k miles. Nothing impressive but I know what to expect.

 

I put the same tires on and averaging a couple mpgs less than with the stock tires

 

Agreed, I was getting shit MPG because of my heavy foot, which translate to more SPG lol

I was definitely getting better MPG with 3000 km on, with the same amount of SPG lol

 

Mine gets around 17 too. FYI.

 

Just for some background: I have an 18 manual pro, and I live in the Denver area (read mix of city, highway, and mountain road) Stock suspension and tires and just under 6,000 miles

When I'm not trying to get good mileage, I get about 17.3 mpg a tank. When I am trying, i'll get just over 18 mpg a tank.

 

Not a pro but concur on the lower mpg while brand new. My mpg with LT265/70/17s was 15-16 at best for the initial 1k or so miles then it started to creep up. Best I have seen was on an extended highway run from Tucson to PHX actually hit 20.8. For the most part on highway i am around 19, city stop and go 14-15, and mixed driving 16-17

 

17 PRO 6MT
78,000 Miles.
18.3 MPG liftetime Costco 87 gas.

 

I get excellent Millage 90% of the time the only time I don't is on the short 3 or 5 mile runs then it drops down to 16 to 17 Mpg but at 6 miles and above doing 55 to 60 mph then we see the 19.5 to 24.X it drops slightly when I do 65 to 70 Mph down to the 20 to 22 Mpg.

I was 15.0 the first couple tanks.
I'm up to 16.5 with the same driving on 265/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Would probably be @ 17-18 on the factory Toyos..

2018 AT 4wd ACCB.

 

Wait, you believed the ADVERTISED MPG on Toyota page???
16-18 city, 18-20 h'way driving conservatively.
If I step on it I get around 17 combined at best.

 

On my PRO I got 19-20 mpg until I put on Nitto ridge grapplers and some sliders. Now I average 17-18 mpg.

 

Shows nothing unless it’s for a full tank I could drive down the canyon and get 39 for 50 mile trip.

 

So, how accurate is this lie o meter? we just got our truck and its showing 18mpg, so until we fill up, i have no way of knowing but i am hoping its close, to the 20.0 mpg mark. rural driving and stock. Thanks jp4ever

 

These trucks don't really like winter fuel.

 

Stock. 10k miles. 18-20 if 60-70 mph hwy even winter fuel. Saw 21 in Sept-oct
Not bad. Less if I am roddin around.

 

People keep talking about winter fuel what’s the difference between winter and summer fuel?
