    I have a 2010 dbl tacoma 4x4. I just put on 3" pro comp lift with 275/65/18. Everything else one this truck is stock. Before I was getting 17.5 mpg in town and 19 on highway. Just check my in town mpgs and im getting 9.5 mpgs. Is this normal? I figured it would drop to 14 or 15 but not 9?

    Yeah somethings wrong man, I just put a 3'' fox lift with 265/75/16 on and I went from Avg 20MPG to 18MPG. You might want to get it looked at. Do you idle oddly or anything else out of the norm?

    The hole in the tank is a joke! Just cant figure out why its using so much. Everyone else on here with same setup are getting way better mpgs. What can I do to get some of it back?

    did you calculate correctly? add in the factor of not only bigger tires but heavier? do you smell gas?

    I set my trip when I fill up. 165.2 in town miles to a full tank of gas. I filled tank 17.5 gallons. 165.2 miles ÷ 17.5 gallons = 9.44 mpg. I dont understand why its that low. It doesnt seem to be running any different.

    I don't calculate my mileage manually any more.

    I record it using the same website many of the other TW members use Fuelly.com.

    WOW--is someone stealing your fuel?
    Second tank might be better. That calculation of 9MPG is HORRIBLE

    He can track over a wider period of time rather than just one tankful and a snapshot of that calculation.
