486.6 miles, 27.34 mpg, 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road MT

If I’m in the mood, it does feel like a game to me.

 

I'll rather pay the higher gas bill going 80mph and cut my road time by 2hrs.

 

It tracks fill ups and miles driven. I have tmobile sync for tracking the drives.

 

I guess we agree then, I'll fly anything over 600-700 miles and measure my time travel time in minutes
If you speed from 70 to 80 mph, you'd have to drive over 1,100 miles to get there two hours early.

 

This !

 

Agreed

 

I pretty much drive anything under 1000 miles without thinking twice. I’m not near a major hub, so by the time I drive to the airport, park, be there an hour early, fly to somewhere to connect, I’ve already spent like 4-5 hours.

also I’ve found driving slower (near the speed limit) actually gets me there faster on longer trips as better mpg = less stopping. You can easily burn 20-30+ minutes every time you need to fill up and that’s a lot of time to try and make up.

 

If it's stock, 2000rpms. A neat thing about the manual is that 60mph in 6th, 50mph in 5th, 40mph in 4th, 30mph in 3rd is all at 2000rpms.

 

Cool. I had not noticed this.
