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

My MPGs drop ~30% winter time. Never had a vehicle that did that.

 

I was pretty diligent in tracking my fuel economy manually when I bought the truck, I got around 20mpg the first 1k ish miles then it slowly went to 22-23 and has been consistent there on weeks where I just commute to work. It's been an anomaly the last few trip summaries have been saying high numbers which I need to validate.

 

Headwind which was about 20-30km/h winds with gusts blowing into me, and I wasn’t going downhill for 180kms straight lol I was in the mountains with equal downs and long climbs. My secret is feathering the gas going downhill to speed up to like 120+ and then coast up the next hill slowing down to about 90 and bam excellent fuel mileage. Now subscribe I want my $10.99

 

20.2 mpg for 66,700 miles. Works if you don't mind giving up about 80hp by living at 9300' and driving 11,000' passes to get out of town. Of course, then its all downhill.

 

I’ve gotten 29mpg driving 8 hours straight to Myrtle beach from Philadelphia

 

I regularly drive 80 miles in a day and the dash claims 22-24mpg.

 

This belongs in 4th Gen section.

 

I get 25-26 mpg's in my 2.7 all the time, every time.
But I drive civilized, so there's that.... LOL!!

 

I bought mine in Fresno, CA.
The drive home was 175 miles and I got a measured 26.2 mpg at 75 mph on the flat.
