Horrible Fuel Economy on 2013 trd DBCB

But on the bright side every time you floor it you are smiling.

 

MPG how rude of me not to specify!! Apologies to my friends north of the border! 8.2 KM/L or 12.2 L/100K I still had a long way to go before the light came on and that is with 265-75-16 tires that are 12 lbs (5.4kg) heavier per tire.

 

Well she is going in to get checked. I like this truck too much to always be pissed off about the fuel economy. Lets hope they take me seriously.

 

My '08 DC TRD has been averaging a solid 17mpg since bought in January , 14,500 miles on it , bone stock . Not exactly light/highway mileage either , mostly mixed and I'm not afraid to stomp it . I know just by the EPA estimates the newer models seemed to get a fair bit worse mileage, which is disappointing to say the least . If Toyota would get their heads out of their asses and use direct injection they could sure improve a lot....

I average 480km from full to fuel light in the winter, Normal fill up is just over 64L for me.

13.3L/100km or nearly 18mpg.

When its warmer out I get 510km per tank, When I drive more on the highway I get 540km per tank consistently, 100% highway I've seen 620km which is not bad at all.

4.0L, Auto, 4wd, Access, 265/75R16's which correct the odometer but weigh more and are a lot taller, probably change them out soon. If I wanted something efficient I wouldn't have bought a 4wd V6 pickup.

 

Worse than me? Wow!

 

well for me, and im no light foot driver, more often then not at red lights, you hear my tires voice my foot on them, but when driving normal in the summer with no ac, running 93 octance, i can get 21-23mpg average, 23 is being near granny stage, ac on, 18-21mpg average, winter time, forget it, 13-16mpg ive been getting, and i got the stock rugged fails on mine still

 

Im lucky if I get 240miles from a tank. Anyone know how much fuel is still in the tank when the light comes on?



...

 

Mine is around 3-4 gallons left. Usually I can get 16-17gallons in mine on the low fuel light to remind me. My wallet is gonna get light again

Of course I do not expect the economy of a corolla , I knew what to expect with this tacoma as it is not my first. I would like to see the numbers most seem to post on this site though.

 

The tires correct the speedometer, the odometer is off you need to add 3 percent so multiply by 1.03 to get correct distance travled

 

I bought my 2011 auto tranny a few months back. It had 6600 miles on it. I put in mobile 1 0-20 right away. Mpg sucked for awhile. I now have 10k on the engine and it seems to have broken in. I'm getting about 3 or 4 more mpg now than before. Just keep the Rpm's down.

 

Former Taco owner here. Not rubbing anyone's nose in it, I still love Tacomas, but my new F150 SuperCrew short bed 5.0 V8 gets better fuel economy than my Tacoma did. Not even fully broken in yet and I'm getting around 18mpg or 13L/100km. Toyota really needs to update their drivetrains. I steered clear of the Tundras because of this.

 

Check my fuelly banner. I have almost 150 fill ups tracked up until now. Lots of data. Currently on 265/65/17 winter tires. Mine is an '07, but DCSB 4x4 6MT as yours.

 

Way better than mine! What part of Canada?

 

That's about 1mpg more than my average

 

Just filled up tonight. 14.6 l/ 100 km or 16 usmpg or 19.3imp mpg.

Last tank was 440 km on 91 octane, all around town driving, virtually no highway. Maybe a road trip to NB this weekend to get some highway numbers. Approaching 5000 km on the odometer

 

Basically the same as me

 

I just bought mine a week ago with a full tank (21.1 Galons); My odometer today reads little over 1/4 tank and driven 152 miles. So approximately 50miles per 1/4 tank = 200 miles on a 21.1 galon tank, therefore, averaging about 10mpg - I'm pretty disappointed!!!

 

That's not accurate at all
