Horrible gas mileage

When someone around where I live says they added Cam 2 to their ride it means they ran a race fuel which is over 100 octane. I’ve been around drag cars a ton and never heard of anyone ever saying “I added cam 2 for lubricant”. I knew they make all kinds of automotive and industrial products but who knows what he added.

 

The recall was for the frame and it had a tune up before the dealership took it but now it goes atleast 16-18 miles and 1/8 of a tank is gone never did that and i didnt put a cam in it its cam2 higher octane fuel had no problems with it woke up that motor though

 

Still not answering questions other person. WHAT ARE YOUR MPG? Either answer or stop wasting our time.

 

Wow the English in the original post is god awful.

Anyways, nobody has mentioned it but I'd def check the primary O2 sensor because that effects A/F ratio. Vacuum leaks also have a huge effect, but aren't as noticeable sometimes because the drive by wire throttle body does a really good job compensating for them at the expensive of terrible A/F ratios. And maybe disconnect the exhaust to see if it runs better. Could be a clogged catalytic converter.

But yeah, could definitely be O2 sensor. Possible intake issue/MAF

 

Yeah you really need to get your actual fuel milage. For all we know you could have a float sticking on the fuel pump or the gauge could be screwed up. You could have burnt a vlave running high octane fuel. If you do not actually see how many miles you are getting out of a tank there is nothing we can do to assist you.

 

I bet tow trucks get lousy mileage AND how does one tow with a 2.7L 4 cyl engine?

 

I towed a 540i with an A frame I made myself across Florida once with my 07 2.7 auto. The 540i was 3800lb and on pretty wide tires.

 

And you can paint a house with a 1" brush, but...

His complaint is poor gas mileage and he's indicated he tows. Probably not helping the mpg much.

 

If you want good mileage you need to put it back to sleep and drive it like it's comatose.

 

Well what i mean tow is get people out when there stuck and you would be surprised 2.7 does fine towing and for the cam2 didnt use more then a gallon did just fine no problems made a 3rd gen taco think twice but ran fine

 

So, you're running racing fuel and wondering why your MPG sucks?

 

I'm still lost


.

 

Fill the tank with the proper octane gas. Drive a couple hundred miles, like a normal person..Gas up again and see how many miles you've driven divided by the exact amount of gas used.
Anything else is just guessing

 

Boomhauer drives a 2.7 Tacoma...

 

That was once but it gets 16-17 to the eighth of the tank and im not hammering on it idles fine and it dosnt jump like the pulse on the injectors are wide open

 

Without grammar, its difficult to communicate. Thats why we have it.

 

If you've worked put yout mileage. I can't see anyway that you'd only get 16 miles to 1/4 tank..That would be like 3 or 4 mpg. l'd imagine that the truck would be barely running.
I'd check air filter. Check for any obstructions in the air intake. Check the Plugs..Clean the MAF. Plugged Catalytic converter maybe?
Faulty fuel gauge sending unit?
There got a be a code stored in the computer for it to be returning this kind of mileage?

I know you saud that you're driving 16 miles and the gauge is going down quite a bit. But have you checked how much gas you're actuslly using? Are you using a 1/4 tank or us the gauge telling you it's gone down a quarter. But you've only used a gallon a so?
