    I just checked some old fuel logs. I would expect you to get 11 l/100km under the conditions you mentioned.

    11l/100 km was enough to make me pass.

    Found a 1st gent 2.7l 5 speed, save me $150 a month or so just on gas to get to work a month alone.

    I have been tracking milage since I bought the truck brand new in 2011 Automatic DCLB. Drove the first 74,940 km on the stock 245/75 R16 Dunlops with stock steel rims. Odometer was pretty bang on with GPS measured km's. However with those Stock Tires the Speedometer would always read Fast. Drive 100km/h on GPS and speedometer would read 105-107 ish. This is a standard issue on the stock tires from what I have read.

    I averaged 12.2 L/100km or 19.3 mi/ US Gal.
    With a best fuel mileage fill up of 10.5 L/100km or 22.3 mi/US Gal
    Worst mileage fill up was 15.5 L/100km or 15.2 Mi/US Gal

    Based on 80 L tank this equates to Avg Tank Dist to 656 km, Best 759 km, Worst 517 km.

    I just recently put on some bigger then stock 265/75 R16 C Load Duratracs. The Speedometer is now bang on to GPS but Odometer shows about 97.2% of actual traveled GPS km. So this factor was used in calculating new fuel consumption.

    I average 12.0 L/100km or 19.6 mi/US Gal on new tires. This is only based on 1134 km driven as they are still relatively new. I will update as I get more km's on. Again this mileage is based on the corrected GPS distance reading. If I only went on odometer readings it would be around 12.3 L/100km but that is wrong due to bigger tires and odometer being off now.

    Also just for some other info that average overall milage equals about $0.127/km since I bought my truck and the Canadian Gas Prices. And maintenance cost so far has equated to $0.04/km, Insurance Cost $0.09/km. So total cost to run truck is around $0.257/km driven without any depreciation. Depreciation is kind of a fixed rate but if I include it it bumps up the total cost of running truck as $0.39/km driven. Assuming 9% Depreciation rate using formula Initial Cost*(1-Dep Rate)^Years Owned

    I get between 550-600 KM out of a tank depending on city/highway mix. My fill ups are usually around 70 liters.

    I average around 8 km per liter whenever I'm in Canada, but I always tank up when it hits about the 1/2 way mark.

    Hi there,
    First time posting on this site....
    I have a 2013 double cab SR5 4x4. Here are a couple of pics showing fuel usage:

    Fuelled up from just about an empty tank (!) at 99.9 cents/litre. 74 Litres. Set the trip to "0"

    061820165685.jpg

    And this is how far I've gone in 7 days using just over half a tank (90% city driving):

    062520165704.jpg

    Drive the speed limit, ease the accelerator on the starts and you're good to go.
    I'm satisfied.

    Did a little road trip out to Kelowna and Peachland this past weekend:

    503.4km with 60.124L going back in, making for 11.94L/100km (19.7MPG US Gallons)

    355.70km with 39.603L going back in, making for 11.13L/100km (21.1MPG US Gallons)

    Fairly pleased with that!

    Couple recent tanks:

    595.1km with 71.506L going back in = 12.02L/100km (19.56MPG US)

    438.9km with 48.919L going back in = 11.15L/100km (21.09MPG US)

    The 595km tank is now the furthest I've gone before filling up.

    Update on myself

    I am selling my 2004 sr5 4cyl 5 speed. I consistently got 9.5-10.5 l/100km. Usually right around 10.

    I found a cheap 2nd gen trd off road that qualifies for the frame recall. It was traded in by original owner on a 2013 sr5, I don't think he knew about frame recall. I couldn't pass up the deal, getting a new frame, lca, and all associated hardware is sweet. I get my rental truck next Monday, and I'll have it for 8 months I was told. I am number 14 on the list for frame replacement at my local Toyota dealership.

    My 2007 TRD offroad Auto was approx 500km per tank on the highway and 400 in the city.
    My 2K13 DCSB Base V6 manual is so far about 450km in the city. Take into account that in city driving I can go almost 1.5 months on a tank of fuel. (Don't drive much).

    For the thread looking for what people are getting out of 3rd gens. Delivery is getting closer and closer, wondering what I can expect to get out of a tank with the new 3.5L
