V6 KM per Tank ?

His truck isn't stock

I'm calling Shenanigans

 

Just sounds unusually high kms.

 

I find it amazing that people get such variations on mileage even from a stock setup.

 

I'm at 350km at just above 1/4 tank right now so I'm probably going to hit 450km at the light this time , zero highway , below 80 km/h , hilly rural driving

 

Ha ya I just creeped his build thread, epic truck

 

I got 660 kms on 52 litres after my first oil change from the Toyota service oil and OEM filter (first 4 changes were free) to Mobil 1 full synthetic, a Mobil 1 high flow filter, and a Fumoto valve. That was all highway miles at 115 kph average from Belleville, ON to Montreal, QC and back. Now I average 680 kms to a tank (light not on at fuel up - 60 to 65 litres of high test gas) of mixed highway/stop and go in the County. I was only getting about 365 kms per 60 litres on factory oil. It must be the valve.

BTW, I found that Toyota had cross-threaded my oil plug.

True story.

 

Thanks, man. I just did some more to it.

 

My last tank driving Calgary to GP was 58.21L in for 452.3km traveled. Works out to 12.87L/100km or 18.3MPG, holding 115-118km/hr with a fair amount of gear in the truck.

I'm sure I can do better with some adjustments to my driving style and a slightly lower average speed.

 

Is this an app or...?

 

Sure is!

 

Is it called fuelly?

 

Correct sir.

 

I used to run regular and got crappy mileage with a stock set up. I changed to high test and mileage improved considerably. Then I lifted and put bigger tires, a slightly different castor/camber alignment, and changed from Toyota oil to Mobil 1. I now run 91 octane only and don't pound the pedal. The speedo reads 98 kph at 1800 RPMs. 120 kph at 2100/2200 RPMs.

 

I run ethanol free 91

 

That surely helps! Mine is at 2500 rpm at 110 kph. Around 2200-2300 at 100 kph. So if yours is under 2000rpms at 100 thats a great advantage!

 

Are you re geared at all? Just curious as to how you can get the rpms down to 1800. I'm sitting at about 2200 at 100kph

 

Same question here

 

Me too. The regular 87 octane looked like it literally poured out the tailpipe. There was always moisture at start up and idle. There is no moisture/vapour with the ethanol free.

Nope, no regear. I run 285/70/17 MT Baja ATZ P3's. I watch the speedometer and RPM gauge like a hawk. If I hit 100 kph it jumps over 2000 RPM, so I keep it at or under 98 kph on the county highways. I also accelerate slowly above 95 kph to avoid the 2600 + RPM range that it usually takes to get to 120 kph. It gets thirsty when it goes over 2000 RPM's. I use Shell premium gas that I buy on the reserve for $1.13 (this week's price).

 

Mine also sits at about 1800 at 98-100kph with 285's.
