What is your best MPG?

Ignore the self made forum police. There are always those guys who don't want to converse with you other than to ask why you even started the thread. I don't get their mentality at all. Welcome to TW.

 

420ish was my record tank. Took the gauge all the way down to "0 miles to empty" before refueling.

 

You all must be magic. I have a 2017 DCSB 4x4 with a Snugtop and I get about 17-18mpg on the highway and about 14-15 around town.

It’s pretty terrible, but I didn’t buy it for efficiency...although I do wish it was better.

 

Good mileage is part of the charm. Just glance at the little blue bar on the display and keep it to the right and magic happens.

 

I think when I first got it and drove at speed limit, it was around 26 or so. Nowadays with a rack, tires, RTT, it's dropped to 19-22 avg - I also usually drive 70 or so on trips.

 

Amazing that gen3 tacomas get the same milage as a corolla. Who knew.

 

I'm in the same boat. I'm surprised that folks are getting 20+ MPGs around town. I don't think I have ever seen that before on my truck, even before new tires and a shell.

 

Damn, I use to average 17...changed my driving habits now I average about 19 per tank....hoping to break 20 on next tank

 

It is all about the wind, tail or head. This day was tail wind, otherwise it would of been 18+

 

Note full tank of gas. Report mpg when full tank is near empty.

 

You know your hypermiling when a cow stares you down.

 

What if I told you I have averaged more than that since last September?

 

That's why its called a tank average. The short trips both good and bad are the skewed numbers. You don't get to count only the easy trips.

 

It's all about throttle input and the Atkinson cycle. Pull up the minute by minute eco screen in your head unit. It'll teach you how to driver her for great fuel economy if you so choose. It's all about inputting the throttle just enough to maintain your desired speed and not a millimeter more. And I never go above 65mph on the highway if I can safely avoid it. MPG really falls off a cliff at 65 or higher.

 

No doubt. Lol. I'm that slow guy in the right hand lane everyone hates during the morning highway commute. But I get great MPG which makes me happy.

 

Normal driving/commute, best is 19.3mpg

Absolute best on a (flat) highway driving 120 +/- miles was 23.4mpg.

 

works both ways, depends on how many gallons in tank when you fill up,, i get 18/19 all day long.. pic was taken after i left dealer, they had battery unhooked to do some work,,

I'm sure not disagreeing with you about the throttle input part. However I admit that the Atkinson cycle is still a mystery to me. My best calculated tank average was 24.0 MPG, but normally it's 22ish. On the Interstate I set the CC at 72 MPH.

 

23 mpg bone stock with 150 miles on it. Ive had it a week and after 850 miles I'm getting 21.5.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Enjoy the new Toy.
