10.1 MPG!!!

Is it normal to get worse than horrible mileage out of M/T's? I just put a set of DynaPro M/T's on my 09 Taco and its average is 10.1 MPG!

 

How often are you not flooring it?

 

How fast are you driving. That means you are barely getting 200 miles to the tank if that.

 

Lay off the petal bub

 

i have 33" mickey thompson MTZ and i get 15-16 mpg on the street. ease off on the gas pedal and your mpg should improve.

 

Have a hard time believing, even laying into the pedal, that you are getting that bad. Double check your math. Run a couple more tanks. You should use the exact same pump at the exact same station to get accurate numbers and don't forget to add the difference your tires make in miles. IE if your tires make a %6 difference in your MPH/ODO then you need to add %6 miles to your odo reading before making the calculation. Use the tire calculator to compare your tires to stock to get the percentage.

 

What size tire? If you step it up from stock , it will offset the speedometer and your mileage will be slightly lower and go easy on the gas

 

38 mile interstate drive from house to work this morning used almost 1/4 tank!!! That is interstate @ 70mph according to my GPS. The tires are 285/70/17.

 

You must be going up hill in 3 feet of snow both ways. Just post how many miles you travelled and how much gas it took from your previous fillup....

 

Please tell me you are not using the gas gauge as your measuring stick. That gauge is not "calibrated" and is simply a general guide to your remaining fuel.


Reset the trip odometer, tank up fully, drive the whole tank, take the prorated mileage (tire size factored in) and divide by the gallons you added. Now repeat 3 times. I'll bet you will see a difference. Good luck.

 

I know I could drive to work with stock tires and hardly see my gauge move. Added the M/T's and it is sucking it!

 

HAHA. If my ole man were telling this story, that is how it would go.

 

whats the tire pressure?

 

38psi on all 4 corners.

 

ouch.

Maybe just coincidental time for tune up, o2 sensor or had brake is dragging.

 

Ouch! 10.1Mpgs?? With that kinda mileage I'd say its time for some upgrades, Throttle Body Spacer that Beast for +4 Mpg!!

 

is this for real?/I thought the spacer did not work on 2nd gen tacos

 

i just changed tires yesterday morning. Can't be that much of a coincidense?

 

Nope sorry..... Misread what vehicle he had.......
