Fuel Milage for your 2nd Gen Taco..

18-19 is not bad for the V6.
22+ is going to be rare for a V6. It's not THAT common for the 2.7

By comparison, 18 was all I got out of my '94 with the 5 speed and 22RE.

 

2013 Access cab with ARE cap. 2.7 with manual trans. 4 x 4. Average between 21.75 and 23.25. Average 60 MPH. About 75% interstate and 2 lane country 25% city. Truck is all stock except for cap.

 

08' V6 6spd 4x4 access cab and get 16.8 average. Towed a cargo trailer cross country and got an average of 11.5 mpg. Best tank was 14 mpg, worst was 9 mpg.

 

I have a K&N cold air intake with the TRD exhaust. My truck is 4x4 with an access cab and I have a 2" leveling kit on the front of an otherwise stock truck. I am getting between 15 and 17 mpg with a combination of highway and city driving. I don't drive like a grandpa but I don't drive like Mario Andretti either. I would like to think a good combination of the both I love my Taco however I think my next truck will be a full size something or another. And by the way I don't tow anything.

 

2014 V6 DCSB with Snug Top XTR. Around 18

 

Just went over 50,000 miles on my 2010 2.7 5sp Access Cab. I have an easy iPhone app that helps me track my current and cumulative MPG. My 50,000 mile average is 21.6 MPG. The little app also graphs my MPG and Cost/Gal. As has been mentioned, my mileage drops noticeably on Winter Blend, typically about 1.5-2mpg worse in the winter vs summer.

FWIW, I also just put new tires on the truck. I got 50000 miles from the OEM

 

Just turned 300 miles today. Winter driving with 4x4 engaged about 50% of the time. Driving 60mph max. 16.5 on my last fill up. Pretty pleased with that number this early in the game

 

Not bad for the weather.

 

DCLB v6 all stock
without towing i get 20-21 mpg regularly. ive hit 22+ once!!
i tow #4000 +/-, 5 days a week with mix of city and highway @ 13-15 mpg

 

'13 DC V6, getting 18-20

 

Hmmm, could be a ban in all this, along with the 50 state illegal radar jammer(s)

 

Do you think the older the V6 gets it will become a gas hog like a V8 later on with the high mileage someday?

 

I have no reason to believe that in any engine that is properly maintained.

 

06 access cab 285/60 R18s
17ish around home
20 if i baby it on interstate (NO CRUISE)
14.5ish now with the cold weather..(winter blend & idling to get warm)
Wish it was alittle better

 

I get 24 highway with cruise going 65 mph. 6 speed manual here and 18 on city at 40mph with 6th gear at 1400 rpm. Sometimes it feels like I get 20. But I doubt it.

 

It will update in the sig.
I have only put ~7,000mi so far and have been avg 17.4. It is going down now cause it is winter and I have to warm it up every morning for my 4 m o daughter. I do mostly state roads averaging ~45-50 with stops and lights no more than say 8 mi apart.
It is a 2013 DCLB TRD Sport 6cyl auto. I have a fiberglass cap with a TracRack on top that stands a little more proud than most racks, so that probably hurts some.

 

cough cough...
bullshit



cough cough....
bullshit bullshit bullshit

 

Avg so far(3k) is 16.8 on winter gas and mix of 2wd & 4wd driving.....

Winter gas/driving typ cost me 3-4 mpg on my 96 tacoma w/ the 2.7L(summer=24mpg, winter=20-21mpg)

stock 2011 DCSB TRD OR w/ 6spd

 

I would encourage everyone who finds fuel efficiency interesting to get a fuely account. It is very easy if you have a smart phone, and pretty easy to just jot your info on the receipt to record it next time you are in front of a computer.

 

I'm get 15 US MPG right now
