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

how is this possible? I just filled up and thought I would do the math to figure out my mpg and in my 4-banger I got: 11.22 mpg =S
that seems unheard of for a 4-banger....
any suggestions to help improve that?

 

You sure you are doing the math right?

 

x2! i get more than that in my 3.4!

 

That sounds more like L/100 km

 

Nice! Ill be doing this in 60 degree weather

 

I'm not sure of the exact temp when i did mine but it was cold. It didn't spray smoothly so i put the cans under a shop light for a half our to warm them up and it sprayed a lot better. ( Don't forget them under the light, and keep the light about a foot away. I shook and rotated mine every 10 min.)

 

ahh, makes sense. Thanks for the tip bro

 

probably i get over 20 mpg in town and 27 on the road if i keep it at 65 with my 4x4 4 banger with 5spd

 

just kidding it was 47.940 L (approx. 12.6644 gallons) still at 169 miles....
only 13.3 mpg... that still seems low to me....

 

Fuck you all and your good mileage!!

 

13.3 mpg.... that doesn't seem good at all to me for a 4-banger lol.... what do you get?

 

lol

wait for it....

 

What he said.

 

9-11 here buddy..haha though I have a v6..

Any codes??

 

I'm averaging 12. CEL on for O2 sensor... 2.7 liter...

 

more pics in my build

 

Im willing to bet you have a dragging caliper or something. Check your ebrake/brake shoes and front brakes. Either that or your running like shit check your computer sparkplugs air intake ect.

Im getting 17 with a v6 and 33x12.5s with a 5spd at the highway i can stay around there if i set the cruise at 70 or so at 80 it drops to around 13 lol.

 

just replaced spark plugs last week, cleaned oil filter, running 265/75/16, canopy (has some weight to it)
calipers might be it!
last time I rotated my tired I tried to spin my front wheel assembly (in 2 wheel drive and not in gear) and it did seem fairly stiff (hard to turn) more than what i've felt on other vehicles.
would that be a brake caliper issue or possible even cv issue (lube maybe) ?

 

why the black stripe on the back? just because?

 

finally got my name plate tacked on before wheeling saturday.
