How is your fuel millage?

My truck gets slightly better mileage with premium; however, there's no ethanol in premium where I fuel. I can also verify that what you save in mileage is NOT worth the price difference.

 

Truck is unmodified except for oversize E-rated KO2 tires in summer. They raise the truck about 25 mm which does nothing good for aero. I run normal size Blizzaks in winter. Note that my truck is manual and I hate getting beaten off the line by Dodge Caravan soccer moms. Sometimes I drive with fuel economy in mind, but mostly I love the loud pedal.

 

Lol...you're going to mistify a few people on here with l/100 km

 

13.3 city / 14.4 highway for me. Just about...

Of course I run 32s, load range E tires and an extra 2-300 lbs of armor and a supercharger.

The fuel economy hit is more on the added weight, not so much the blower, just to clear that up.

 

Does not actually matter what units you use. Truck sucks gas like Monica Lewinsky! Stopped keeping track.

I'm 15.8 mpg for that period. Pretty sure an F-150 with the 5.0 Coyote engine can compete with that. But I can fit my Taco in my heated garage, no chance of getting the Ford in there.

 

Yup...for their size they're not great....especially if you like peddle around town.

 

Not with the 4.0 I’ll say it no way is he getting 24.

 

It will never even pay for itself (the extra cost of the fuel) much less make anything for you to 'add up'.

Sorry..........

While you've gotten a great variety of answers, YOUR results will depend on many many variables. So don't be disappointed if you don't match the high numbers and don't be thrilled if you exceed the low numbers. Your target should be the EPA at www.fueleconomy.gov. In good conditions and a basically stock vehicle those numbers are pretty realistic.

 

285/70/17 . If I stay at the speed limit I’ll average 20/combined. 5 -10 over the speed limit 18. After that I just don’t worry about it, just put gas in it.

 

Agree, the cost of higher octane fuel isn't paid for by the mileage increase. I use mid-grade which is a blend of regular and premium, for the increased fuel additives in the Premium fuel, the slight increase in mileage is just a bonus to me. This is a preference thing, use what you want, I do however recommend the use of a Top Tier brand fuel:

Averaging 19-20 hwy, don’t really keep track around town. Stock 265-70/16 tires

 

From 01/01/2012:
Total miles = 109816
Average MPG = 23.61

Elevation at home ~ 6800'
4 cylinder 5 speed 4WD

I drive like an old man--'cause I am one.

 

I have a 2.5" lift, 285/70/17 E rated KM3's (super heavy) and a Front Runner roof rack, and drive in LA traffic. I get about 15 MPG, without calculating for the over sized tires.

 

keep the RPMs at 2000 that's it

 

Awful.

 

6MT @ 66 mph is 2200 rpm in mine

 

We didn't get Tacomas for good MPG. We got them because they look cool.

 

24.5 with the 4.0 combined mpg, 17 city winter average in 2010 double cap TRD sport. Cold air intake, and bed cover help.
