27 MPG in 3rd gen Tacoma, 4th gens seething

who says these trucks aren’t fuel efficient?? Don’t need a turbo 4 cylinder hybrid to maximize gains at the expense of reliability, subscribe to my program for the low low price of $10.99 a month and I’ll reveal my secret on maximizing your trucks potential!

just kidding, just wanted to share my awesome fuel economy and see if anyone did better. This was in the mountains with a good headwind

 

Everybody likes good HEADwind!!

 

At 12mpgs it’s smiles per gal for me

 

Whoopee!
How about a more meaningful number - like tank MPGs from fill-up to fill-up.
I can push mine to 30+ MPG - on a 300 mile slight downgrade from start to finish.

 

I think my wife's Camry gets 27 mpg.

 

Headwind or tailwind?

 

Head and Tail!!! Can’t go wrong!!

 

DownHill...

 

I love the word seething. My 3rd gen gets pretty good mileage, can't complain one bit.

 

I can get 8L \100km in my 2nd gen @ 80km. But that seems to piss off everyone on the highways.

 

25.5 is the most I’ve achieved hypermiling in normal conditions over about 150 miles.

 

20 MPG for me on long trips.

 

He also said he had a good headwind, I think he meant tailwind it was pushing him.That was my point. There’s a pass that I travel on frequently and it gets very strong winds in both directions depending on weather. It causes about a 5 miles per gallon difference between the two for me. Sorta like this:

 

Let me guess, all highway and no faster then 100km an hour?

 

Definitely tail wind

 

Headwinds are brutal up here, especially when I’m towing my 9’ tall 6x12 trailer.

 

I think the higher temperature inflates the number. December to April I was getting 22-23 consistently from my daily commute, now it seems in hotter days it shoots 25-27:



The last fill to fill check I did was 2 weeks ago with 11.8 gallons between top offs netting 264 miles (22.37mpg). I'm gunna do a tank to tank check this week as it's been reading very high all week. My commute is about 10 miles in town w/construction and 8 miles of highway construction followed by 7 miles of open highway.

for context: DCSB with v6 usually +5/+9 the speed limit, ECT mode off

 

It’s been done. Here’s a pic of steady speeds on long trips.

Currently my best is 19 mpg with a 2.5 inch lift, 33” tires, and OTT tune driving like a grandma (55-65 mph) on highway.
