Why gas mileage so low?

That's what I meant too.

 

The lead engineer mentions a lot of MPG-based design decisions in the reveal videos, so I’m sure they care.

 

lol, all talk. Remember 3rd gen?

 

No shit. They improved it 1-2mpg over the 2nd gen.

 

And the 4g is again better. Evolutionary improvement

 

I’m sure they care about mpg. They just can’t seem to get it to work out as planned. Real world mpgs suck.

 

Physics are a bitch

 

There’s no real world proof yet.

 

Is

 

Yes indeed

 

Fairly sure this gen Tacoma will be better for towing, more low down torque. But mpgs? May be worse under truck usage, versus going to Starbucks for a pumpkin latte. Trucks are big and square, as aerodynamic as a barn door. Power and torque comes from the fuel. More power and torque? Hmmm.

“For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled”.

 

All the test vids reflect the same. That’s all we have so far
