V6 KM per Tank ?

I consistently got 500-550 in my 07 in the summer, winter about 400-430 maybe. I’m seeing about 500 in the winter in my 18’ still getting broken in though. Haven’t had it in summer yet.

 

I just got 547km from full to gas light , j just put new plugs in ngks , k n cold air intake , and fresh oil , I’m running 285/65/18s, hopefully it will keep up

 

Well shit, Now I'm getting grumpy, I'm getting nothing close to that, better yet took it into the stealership, dude at the service counter tried to tell me that because his 97 4 banger got 260km a tank during the winter that it's normal for my 09 V6 to get the same and the reason it's half of what I should be getting is because it's cold outside... no code being thrown by the engine, re replaced the spark plugs, to OEM Denso, and replaced with a K&N air filter.

 

Yeah something seems up there, unless your running like 35’s or something your not sharing haha ??

 

Nope 265/70/17. Once the snow melts I might pull the rear breaks apart and see if something is going on in there, my front rotors and pads look great, the rear should be better as it was pulled off a newer, lower KM truck when I busted mine two years back. I'm at a loss, but it looks like I'm getting better this tank, I'm at 1/2 and I've gone 182km which 3 weeks ago would have been just below 1/4.

So maybe it was the non- OEN plugs or the filter, or the dam gremlins. I honestly don't know anymore.

 

6 speed manual with 285/75-16s Summer time, minimal A/C use, normal everyday driving, I have reached that elusive 500km mark twice. Usually around 460-480 before the fuel light makes it's presence known.

 

I'd get 500-550 litres a tank in my 3rd gen if I let it dip low enough. I usually fill at a little over, or at a quarter tank. 255/85r16 hybrid AT tires. In the winter I was lucky to cap 400 litres a tank, usually less though. Gearing down, lots of 4WD because we get bad ice and got way more snow than we usual, winter fuel mix... just a bad time for my wallet.

 

Greater than 600 consistently

 

I been getting 600+ lately, 2018 DCLB

 

I hate you, I just got 240km on a tank again I'm stumped. Toyota was zero help, this has mileage is killing my wallet.

 

I almost got 700 out of a tank this past weekend, all highway avg 100kmh. in the city im lucky to get 450

 

This is crazy something is not right

 

HOW IN THE UNGODLY HELL? is your foot actually made of lead?

Only thing i can think of is to reset the computer (unplug the battery for a day or at least overnight) since the trucks "learn" how we drive during some break in period, but it does sort of reset (i heard it doesn't take as long to "relearn" our driving pattern) when it loses power. Maybe by forcing it to "relearn" your driving habits, just drive lightly for a few hundred kms, it might figure itself out)


but on track of the thread, when first got my '18 i managed to get about 610km but it's more around the 530~ish mark on my summers now that they are back on.
winters (BFG KO2s 285/75r16) i'd be lucky to see 450km. but then again most of my daily travel is stop and go traffic. Truck has 28,000km on the OD

 

Hmm I'll give that a shot, and no I drive like a 90 year old grandma with her 6 month oldold granddaughter in the back seat.

 

740 km

2018 TRD Sport 4 Door
Right lane highway cruiser 400 lb load
Lots of idling with A/C on
Stock tires
Shell 91 Octane (no ethanol)
Fuel light on at 725

 

That is insane! You are almost double what I get now with steel armor and bumpers. 400kms

 

I thought I was bad but now I don't feel so bad. You are driving the 4.0?

 

I actually went through two tanks of gas this past week. Both times I was over 730 km on the tank.

Also, refills are usually around the 75 litre mark.

 

Agreed, that is insane.

From my house in Grande Prairie to Ikea Edmonton is 476km, I'll get there with the light on and stopping at closest gas station when i'm there. 100% stock but 265/70/17 C Duratracs, I noticed a big difference when I changed to these tires. They're great but for the amount that I actually use them for their purpose I'm thinking something less aggressive and lighter next tire change, I'm sure that'll help. Odds are I'll likely upgrade to 3rd gen before these wear out.

 

I took my Duratracs off a month or so ago. Getting an extra 100 km back on the stock rubber.

once they’re worn out I’ll get a set of Michelins with the 115,00 km treadwear warranty. They are like rocks so they suck when the temps dip below 4 C but they will be even better on gas.

I have found that the no ethanol gas really helps as well. But it costs more so the savings are in refuel stops not dollars.
