Need better MPG.

If it did then that amazing cus the epa on that truck was 13 city and 16hwy, the tacoma is rated higher than that.

 

Well known dick/member from Maine??

 

Because on here, most of us get smiles per gallon, we didn't buy a Prius of a Chevy volt

 

Well I'm lifted with 32s I'm about 20 mpg beats the neck out of my last truck only had 160 up
and 12 mpg!!

 

We are all just primed up for Friday threads!

 

Stock SR gets 245 tires. I averaged about 19-20 mpg before lifting it and getting 265 tires.

 

Drive with, not against, prevailing winds.

 

Spencer, the copper one is for fun truck-things, 19/24.

MFP, the red one is for daily car-things, 44 if I drive it like a rental in power/passing mode/50 if I drive it like a Prius

 

Hah. It's ALMOST Friday and you both are gonna get this thread locked or get banished as some people here on TW will get REAL butthurt.

 

RIP

 

Buy a Prius.

 

The best thing you can do is just accept you get more smiles per gallon that miles per gallon now.

 

Mine did, too. Until they mandated 10% ethanol in the fuel.

 

You do realize that was started in 1920-30 as an octane boost and mandated in the 70'?

 

My 1988 k1500 v6 5speed manual with 33” tires got 19.5 mpg and everyone thought I blew smoke up their butts about it but, I did get 19.5mpg. I drove slow, coasted a lot and lost speed on hills. Driving style and speed have a lot to do with MPG.

 

Im averaging about 17 mpg with RTT and bigger tires on my daily. Definitely stings with current gas prices but its worth it to me when you look at the tradeoff of better visibility, more proud/fun to drive, etc. I mean you could go smaller tires among other things to improve mpg but the tacoma will never be 'economical' in that sense.

 

Commute on a motorcycle =)

Cheap to buy and cheap to insure.

You'll get like 60+ mpg and keep the truck for fun on the weekends

BTW best I've gotten out of a stock 2.7 with 245 passenger tires, chin spoiler, and stock ride height is around mid / high 20s so we will never see crazy mpg in our trucks. Now that I have larger Falkens on... and winter mix my mpg is hovering around 20... or just under.

 

It's wild indeed. I don't mean to derail the thread, I just love these neighborhoods haha! If you're working toward buying, I wish you luck my friend! It took me years and years of scrimping and saving to make my move just a little over a year ago. In the meantime, it seems to me that you have a truck that takes you where you wanna go, and that ain't nothin! Cheers!
