Toyota Tacoma "Real World" Gas Mileage

2 tanks 19.65

11 All stock 4.0 auto DC

 

I'm getting about 12.5 before winter gas

 

Does that RAM 1500 get anywhere near 28MPG? Even if it gets less than that, it gets better than the 4L 4WD Tacoma I guess.

I am in full size truck country, hardly anyone has a Nissan or Tacoma. People always say your mileage must be good. And I have to tell them how shitty it is.

 

My daily driving gets me high 19s pretty consistently in the summer. Low 17s the past few tanks. I typically have 3 stops in an 8 mile drive. 40-50 MPH most of the way.

Highway gets me 14-15 if I do anything above 70 and there are any hills. If it's slower flat highway I can sometimes get almost 21 out of it. Very rare, though.

Don't know about pure city. I try to stay as far away from stop and go traffic as possible.

 

2010 Access cab, 4x4 with 265's.
Average 17 in town and on interstate with an average speed of 75mph. If I keep the speeds low, then it jumps up to 18-19. NEVER have I seen 20. I accelerate slow, and just go with the flow of traffic.

Gas light usually comes on right at 300 miles.

 

I'm pretty sure I've replied to this thread several times over the years...but at any rate with mostly city driving, I'm getting just a bit over 16mpg, mostly city. I guess that's fine as it IS what is advertised.

I WILL say that lately my mpg has been getting better. A bit over 9000 miles on the truck.

And I do use 91/93 octane fuel where available.

 

Fuelly over the last 6 months (6000 miles) is average 20.1, 1 tank 23, 1 tank 16.9.
50% highway/interstate in rolling hills. Around town is no heavy traffic/no bumper to bumper.
About 19 around town, 21 on the road - based on odometer-calibrated ScanGauge.

 

2015 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 Off-Road, 100% Stock

First Tank: 18.4

Second/Third Tank: 18.6

I'm hoping it will increase as everything breaks in? lol...

 

2015 DCLB
First Tank: 18.3
Second Tank: 18.9
Third Tank 18.3

 

2.7 L 4x4 Reg Cab. 18-19 around town... 21 - 22 highway. Surprisingly consistent with the window sticker actually. First vehicle I've had that was. I was surprised to semi-regularly *exceed* the highway mileage stated by the sticker. I drive like a grandma though.

 

I got 25 mpg with stock V6 auto, 265/75R16 mud terrains going from Vail to Denver...

 

little north of 17 avg. I gradually dipped as the mods came, especially tires and front plate and this is mostly highway daily....

 

It's a damn shame that a trucklet such as this one (yes, a trucklet--it weighs 4200 lbs and has 236hp, max towing 6400lbs) is only getting me 15mpg. I recently had a Hemi Ram rental for a day, and in the identical driving environment, got 16.5 in a 5500lbs, 390hp truck.

Toyota needs to get their act together. Unless something changes, no more Tacomas for me...

 

4L with the manual

Got it up to 17MPG on the weekend with a 140 mile highway round trip.

When running back and forth to work I try to get it around 14, but it tends to sit between 13 and 13.5.

 

16.8 and dropping.

 

2010 v6 prerunner full OME 265/75/16 e rated 21.4mpg < ultraguage

 

2014 supercharged v6 with ~4,250 miles on it so far using 91 in CA, I'm averaging around 16.5mi/gal the last 4 fill ups. I only get on the gas when getting on the on-ramp if traffic is actually moving. Mileage calculated from gas cubby app on my iPhone (I enter mileage and fill up information each time).

Note: I sit in 2+ hours of stop and go traffic daily so while its highway mileage, I'm just sitting there staring at brake lights a lot of the time.

 

How'd you do going the other direction?

 

yeah, tell me about it since 880/237 in the bay area sucks and rent is $$$ closer to work.

Looking at your handle makes me miss my wrx that I traded in for the taco.
