Best MPG’s You’ve had in your Tacoma

i think i accidentally got 20 once, a tailwind i'm sure.

if i try waaaay too hard then i just may touch 19 on a good day. but that is super rare. usually 14-17.

 

Sorry guys I got u all beat

 

How!!

 

I think this is the best I’ve seen. Average 21mpg. Stock tire size SL with 0 offset wheels at 22# a wheel. 2019 TRD OR 4x4

 

Lol. Coming out of the west side of big bear CA down the 18 to the 330 to the 210 it's like 20 or 25 miles of nothing but down hill if there's no traffic you don't have to touch the gas for like 45 minutes. Lol

 

Awesome! What do you get going up? Lol

 

Ok, makes sense haha. I bet you were giddy to get that

 

Yea I always love going down that haha
Can't recall what I get going up try not to look

 

10+99.9 /2 is still 55 average lol

 

@eurowner 98% downhill?

Or jack stands?!

 

Very true

 

If I don't see 25+ MPG on my 13 mile commute to work (there and back) I am disappointed. My Tacoma MPG is more sensitive to driving habits than any other car I have ever driven. Last three tanks I kept track of where I was not towing...lots of interstate miles on these tanks.

 

Tailwind while descending from 11000’ to 7000’ with 45mph traffic!

 

How do you get 24+ on the interstate?! I drive no more than 5 over and it's 19-20.

But you're spot on with them being super sensitive to driving habits. I have a 35mi commute on mostly two lane state roads and if I drive my normal 5 over (allowing it to drop below speed limit on prolonged hills and regaining speed on the backside) I typically get 22-23. If I am behind someone doing the limit exactly that number jumps to 24-25.

*edit: have a ~2" lift & 265s. Nothing over the top but both adversely effect the mpgs

 

Haha throw it into S4 and right foot can relax for a while

 

In 2016 we drove my 2007 DCSB 4X4 to the Grand Canyon and back to GA. Taking a different route each way. It was right at 5000 miles total and I averaged exactly 20 mpg for the trip. It was pretty consistent with most every fill up being within a few 10ths +/- of 20 mpg. I did have a couple of tanks in mountains where driving over 55-60 was impossible and there was as much coasting down mountains as driving up. I hit 22-23 mpg there. That is the best I've ever seen. I did hit a strong headwind coming home between Denver and KC where I was getting 16-17 mpg's for a couple of tanks. Got out of the wind and returned to right at 20 mpg for the rest of the trip. Normal everyday driving will be 17-19 mpg.

 

Tires stock size 37psi.
Non ethanol 90 octane
Lube gard platinum added to transmission
In all it was a 200 mile round trip and maintained 27 mpg

 

Just logged 2 tanks.

One at 20.8 mpg, the other at 19.2 mpg.

First tank at easy highway (~60 mph) and some city driving. Mixed leaning towards highway.
Second tank at interstate speeds (70-80 mph). Heavy on cruise set at 72 mph.

Can't complain. V-6, 4wd, 112xxx miles, stock suspension & tire size

 

I think I averaged about 9 MPG up a grade once. I probably could have done better if I stayed above 75 MPH or had a heavier load.

 

Personally, I never trust the vehicle's computer as far as fuel efficiency goes. The computer obviously can track the miles traveled (as long as your tires are close to OEM size, or you have recalibrated your speedo), but it can't accurately track how much fuel has been burned.

I have always manually tracked my fuel MPG, by hand or recently in the Fuelly app. According to Fuelly, since I got the truck brand new in April 2017:

Total miles tracked: 65776
Number of fuel ups: 280
Total gallons: 3640
Avg. MPG: 18.3
Last MPG: 16.3
Best MPG: 22.4
