Plenty of data already tracked. 100s of vehicles and thousands of entries per model year from 95 to current. All searchable by sub categories.

All 9 responses on here should be the same as Fuelly data.


e.g. 2008 X-Runner specific data:

2009
A/C
2.7L, 5MT
23 MPG

 

2006
Access cab
4.0 v6, 4x4 TRD offroad
Auto
15-17 mpg average

 

2006
Double Cab, Long Bed
4.0 V6, 4x4 TRD Sport, stock suspension and stock size tires (Yokohama Geolanders)
Auto
Primarily highway driving, 20-21 MPG.

Fuel light turns on between 350 and 370 miles on the tank. I reset a trip every time I fill up and calculate at the pump when I fill up

 

2010, Access cab, 4.0, 4x4:
Ultra gauge states 19.1 average, but it always seems to be high about .4/.5 high when I do the math with my spreadsheet.
Low 9.3, city short trips during the cold winter.
High 23.9, summer highway trip.
Stock with the exception that I took the beauty cover off about three months ago and I may have gained about .2 mpg. Too early to tell. My theory is it may keep the intake air cooler by not trapping engine heat.

 

2008
295 tire
Mpg= 11

 

Does my 4Runner count?

08 4.0 V6 4x4
285/70R17 BFG ko2’s
Would think my wheel at 17x9 is heavier than stock?
3/2 lift

mostly driving in town, ~13.5 avg.

 

Still interesting to hear from the folks with large tires

 

2007 DC 4X4 TRD
4.0, Automatic

I have slightly oversize 265/75/16 tires with a cap on the truck. Recently added a 2" lift.

The truck has 146,000 miles on it and my fuel mileage has remained pretty consistent over the last 17 years.

Daily driving 17ish. I don't do much true city driving. Mostly small town and rural 2 lane roads.
Open road, interstate 20ish

I've gotten as much as 22 on a couple of tanks under ideal conditions.

 

Not the point. Fuelly is awsome but IMO appeals to mostly hyper mile types (I'm kinda that way.
Many real world driving and of course mpg figure vary, sometimes wildly'
Kind of like this forum. From the mild to the wild.

 

Case and point. No they all arent the same

 

2008 base 4 cylinder: 20 city, 26 highway

 

Although not the point. this was ligit in some ways, so I modified the op to reflect fuelly,com. Below is the summery of fuelly input 11k Tacomas. This of course doest distinguish between tires, transmissions, engine mods, hills, and of course driving... Thats more the reason for this thread.
