mind boggling MPG gen2 taco?.....make that DAMN GOOD mpg

did a MPG test today
I drove 26 miles from kfalls to chiloquin (gas station to gas station)
I kept the speedo under 60, used cruise control most of the way, & never let the revs exceed 2k

here is the results & its nutzzzzzzz
26 miles using .8 gallon of gas = 32.5 mpg

& they say tacoma's have so-so gas mileage
I would beg to differ
all on the driver & environment
the truck is capable of producing excellent gas mileage for a 6 cyl gas burner
also I am achieving this great MPG with over 315k miles on the odo

here is to driving real slow
ha

 

I’m happy for you! But also skeptical ... at that rate you should get 520 miles out of a 16 gallon tank. If you pull that off I’d be VERY interested to see.

 

Damnit, trolled.

 

I'm happy with 16 mpg and regular driving in the city... even more so on the highway.

 

We're being trolled again, at least this post was up front about it haha

 

Fell for it, just saw the Nutzzzzzzzzz again.

 

Exactly the way I compute gas mileage.

 

Each gas pump is going to shut off at a slightly different tank fullness level. If you only used 1 gallon then the difference ahhhhh fuck it

 

You did this is in a double cab, long bed Tacoma? I don't think so.

 

Pro tip if you want better mileage on that 26 mile trip, call a tow truck and have the Tacoma towed there next time. Please report back again with the updated mileage.

 

lol such a short trip gives WAY inaccurate results as a difference of say .1 gallons skews numbers huge and pumps dont shut off all the same.

 

I got some insane fuel mileage once. I turned my truck off and put it in neutral and coasted from slightly east of woodland park all the way to manitou springs. Used no fuel whatsoever

 

Highway mileage is still amazing for me but the city driving which is 90% of mine has me at 16 on average.

 

Elevation change?

 

people... he did all of a 26mile trip... I could make the mpgs change from 10mpg to 30 mpg at the pump with such a short trip.

 

Not enough mileage to accurately determine MPG.

Nope

 

What is with these mpg threads and people measuring mpg’s out of a single gallon of gas. Yaal are cooked. Fill up, clear trip A, drive till gas light, then you divide your miles by how much it took to fill up

 

Yep, and make sure your tires are stock dimensions.
