Manual gas mileage much better than expected

I haven't had this truck long, but man I feel like the gas mileage is just too good to be true. It's a manual and I don't drive like a grandpa, but also I typically keep the rpms fairly low. This mileage reading is after commuting and errands this week.

 

I find steady as she goes and low RPM's will take you to the speed you need, and will work wonders on mileage.

I can get 25+ at 70mph and have done so on many occasions... we're talking 30-40 mile ranges on relatively flat areas.
Hills and inclines don't apply LOL...

Heck I ain't in much of a rush to go anywhere or do anything these days anyway.

 

That’s around what I average per tank with my automatic trans too. These trucks can get decent mileage when you drive it properly and the conditions are right.

 

Nice, I guess coming from a lifted first gen Tundra, it's blowing my mind lol

Cheers to driving reasonably!

 

It varies depend on the particular Taco and driver. Mainly keeping it Stock is the biggest effect.

 

I have the OTT tune and I get 22-23 mpg on the highway @ 65-70 mph. Falls off quickly above that.

 

21.5 all winter long up to the ski area and back four days a week.
24 was had across the midwest at 70

Better yet at 60 mph,

That wind drag is a killer. I'm not giving up that front air dam , that's for sure.

 

How I get 15.9 mpg with a dclb and leer x100 doing …. 85 plus mph maybe that’s why …
