13 MPG, is that normal?

Hi,

I just bought a 2006 Tacoma with 18000 miles. It took me 14 gallons to make 186 miles, is that normal? I leave in Montreal in Canada and I was driving in town in normal condition except that it is pretty cold these days.

 

Was the truck in 4wd ?

 

haha welcome to my world buddy, 2wd only, i'm at 190 miles right now and a quarter tank left, just filled it up last week! damn my horrible mileage

 

I have 285s and a V6 and still get 17-18.

 

you sir must have a faulty odometer or maybe mine is the one that's messed up and reading too slowly

 

What size tyres do run sir ?

 

the stock trd offroad BFG all-terrains, i think they're 265/70/16s...i really don't understand why my mileage is so bad, i really honestly havent been driving all that bad this tank and i'm getting HORRIBLE mileage, 89 octane, all city, no a/c, no traffic, and i only did maybe 5 donuts

 

so why is my gas mileage so bad!?! damn if i at least knew the reason for it i wouldnt be mad but i'd $hit a brick of joy if i got 18mpg

 

13 in city when new is not far off base. 20 or so highway is about right. With a 4x truck.

 

i usually average 15-16 but i'm only 2wd

 

oh i also averaged 15mpg on the highway, all 1600 miles of it over thanksgiving

 

doing donuts will use up alot of gas. I think your problem is just the way you drive your truck. If you slowed WAY down you'd do better. you keep getting tickets and talking about burnouts and donuts. All thats fine if all your concerned about is having fun, but if you want good mpg's you gotta stop it all....cold turkey. Maybe we need to have an intervention for you...

 

i havent done a burnout in months, and the donuts only lasted about a minute....i don't know how much slower i can drive bro, my exhaust makes my foot heavy i'm actually going to change the exhaust a little bit tomorrow

 

Had an 06, now have 07 with V6/auto, 4-door. Consistent 20MPH on both!

 

Cold turkey... Intervention ! I AM IN MAN, I love seeing guys jones'n crying and whimpering " I don't think I can make it ! " was that over the top ? I can never tell.

 

You know what's funny, while writing that last post, I had Snowblind from Styx playing on I-tunes, he he.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA too funny
