Gas Mileage

Hello. First time Tacoma owner. Loving the truck so far.

I gotta say I am actually pretty happy with my gas mileage so far. It's really damn near advertised MPG.

I've been consistently getting 20-21mpg on a tank. Drove 220 miles so far on a full tank and still have half a tank left.

Anyways, happy to be here. Been lurking for a while and this place has been an awesome resource for information on my truck.

 

Welcome to TW I’m get about 19mpg

 

Tires and wheels are the mileage killers

 

Looks like Summer gas is HERE in the high desert. I'm at 25+ for tank average now, w/ lots of offroading.

 

Welcome aboard fellow gas burner

 

Yeah, I'm getting the same mileage around town driving.

 

After awhile it gets even better

 

Welcome to TW!

Some useful info here for sure. I get about 18-19 average, but mine is a manual and it gets a bit worse mpgs due to lower rear diff ratio. I also have e rated tires which are heavier than stock. Good luck!

 

I took these today.

Here we go again. Another Prius post

 

Did you bother reading what I posted? I'm not complaining. I'm saying I'm happy with my MPG.

 

No. I just looked at the photos.

 

My wife buys the gas. I get 17-18 and I'm happy.

 

i get smiles per gallon

 

I'm in Canada and mine is always showing L/100km, I know its changable in the settings. Do guys typically have them set in Imperial or Us MPG?

Welcome new member, glad to hear your happy with your mileage. I'm also really happy with mine, it's a quite noticeable difference coming from my 07 Taco 4.0 . Typically getting between 19-24 mpg.

 

US MPG

 

Why are MPG threads so common? It's mind boggling how much people care about their mileage...

I'm starting to get really annoyed by all these if you guys couldn't tell lol

 

Winter gas and a lot of short trips (3-4 miles) got me down to about 18 mpg. Last summer I got in the 20's for the same short trips. If you don't have big ass tires and/or climb on the throttle a lot, 20's around town and 22-24 or better on the highway (stay under 75mph) is easily doable.

 

As far as cost goes, the difference between 20 mpg and 17 is not something I worry about. I don't even blink and eye when I see the pump prices jump 10-20 cents. The interest in what mpg people are getting goes more to the performance of the truck. I'd be pissed if my stock 3.5/AT could only muster 15 mpg.

 

I wish I could get any where near 20mpg.
