What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

got a stock jeep wrangler spare tire carrier off c-list for 20bucks and bolted it to the bed.

 

No bad man! i think id have put it up by the cab but good find man!


Got a whopping 10 mpg today ...

 

Drove to Santa Fe to pick up this little guy.

 

That's f'ed up... I was getting 22mpg. And that's with the armor.

 

22 city!

 

I don't care..22 mpg city out the I4 is still amazing..

 

Hwy... was 10mpg your city or hwy?

 

Shit id be lucky to get that on the hwy...with 31s..lol

 

City. I havn't done any hwy...plus i didn't take into account that i have 33s so im actually traveling farther..

 

but look who's talking.....

 

Me too..i drove from powell to yellowstone and back on one tank of gas. BUT...speed limit in the Shoshone Park is 55 mph...and in Yellowstone is 45...not that i didn't still drive like a bat outa hell and pass ppl going 70 up and down mnts who have never seen mnts and are going 10 mph lol But still...23...never seen it since..got 21 a couple times this summer..

Shit...yours is way more rice then ours lol

 

Yea i found going 70-71 on the interstate got me 21mpg or 20...any faster then that, like even just 73...13mpg lol

I drive pretty hard most the time..but do slow it down.......on occasion.. lol

 

does anyone know the actual calculation to find the true distance?
i want to calculate mine.

 

Would the tire size calculator help?

 

No there is just a number you multiply your distance with to get the correct distance. I have seen it on here before...idk where the hell its at tho...

 

yeah ive looked at that before. but im talking about if i say get 300 miles on my tank of gas with 33's. how many miles did i really go since its with 33's and not stock.
and that way i can divide by gallons and find the actual mpg.

 

I would love to go back to my 19-20 mpg I had back in september.... Only thing that's changed since then is winterized gas, now i'm getting 16 at best.

 

Using a gps or google maps should be accurate enough

 

I gotta find that number...

 

Would you guys be looking for circumference? The distance around the tire (not the distance across - 31,32,33's) Here's a link that will mathematically do that for you:

just enter your tire diameter (height) into the calc and it does the rest

For those that want to calc it themselves,
