    25.6 MPG’s is the best I’ve seen so far with my 2018 dbcb sb limited. Sometimes I miss my Tundra, but not at times like these..

    Is 1 mph the key?
    I suppose I could slow down to save a buck..

    I got 26.4 driving 16 miles across town on roads where the speed limit was 45-50 most of the way. I hit almost all the lights green.

    Before the mpg police chime in, yes I know it was a short distance and doesn't represent typical gas mileage.

    But as you see below, my average mpg has been 16.9 (for 44 fill-ups) on a stock TRD OR AC. ;)

    Took my daughter for ride so she would nap yesterday and took this picture when I got home bc I couldn’t believe it. Drove 5-6 miles to get to the highway and 7-8 miles after exit back to house. Sunday afternoon with no traffic and cruise was set at 60 for most of the trip. Usually get around 21 mpg during 50 mile commute with traffic and then 80 mph.

    19.4 is my best tank average. I don't put too much stock in trip average as lots of factors can weigh into it. Over the course of a full tank it levels the data a certain amount IMO.

    I agree about not putting much stock in trip average. My overall average is usually between 20.7-21.0.
    I guess after 8 years in a very thirsty Tundra V8 it was refreshing to see 25+ MPG’s even if only for a trip.

    I've never seen 25 MPG so I guess if I saw that i'd be thrilled too lol. I get excited at 22 MPG which is about the best I can hope for on a trip.

    Must not have been close enough. I got close to 30 drafting for 2 hrs lol. Good to see im about where I should be around 16 on avg, mostly short city traffic trips / commute. I’ve got a double cab, long bed, heavy topper, extra 75-100lbs in bed at all times. I get 18ish highway.

    I just hit 1000 miles and changed speeds a ton. Now that my break in period has hit 1,043 miles I can put the hammer down and hopefully see high 14’s!

    I can get 22 easy on a trip if going no faster than 60-65, after that it pretty much just sucks gas.

    Wish I had taken a picture but I remember I once got 24 mpg on my Manual DCSB. Mind you I have 265/75s LT tires which are quite heavy.

    I was super excited about it. Sadly, that was just a one time trip.

    Usually I average 20.5 to 21 mpg.

    Not too bad I'd say, but I do have to be easy on the throttle and cruise to get that mileage.

    If I step on it I range from 17-19 on back roads where the speed limit is 55 mph

    City I get like 15-16

    Sounds about right. I do get a bit better in the city though, I do coast to red lights a lot. I like to take advantage of DFCO.

    My commutes on the city are usually less than 6 miles with a lot of stop and go traffic. I live in hilly NC town near the mountains.

    I heard the peddle commander is good for throttle response and you could even save in MPGs
