14.2 mpg... ouch

Any one else running numbers that low? 05 dclb on 275/65r18 (32.1in) canopy all highway driving 70mph

 

On 255/80r17 I get about 14.7 with 95% highway driving.

 

Stock tires I get 420 miles per tank.
Bigger tires and lift will hurt MPG

 

295/70/17 im getting between 16-18 highway and 14-16 in town

 

275 70 18 im averaging 13-ish city 15-ish highway

 

I’m happy when I break 12 mpg

 

Damn. Never ran the numbers till this weekend. The wife’s 4Runner (07 4.0 on 265/70r17s) is pulling 19-20 highway

 

I hit 13.something on saturday against the wind with 265/75r16 and 14.something with the wind. Both times 99% highway driving.

 

got about 14 in high winds at 75-80 headed to Colorado last weekend. Got about 17-18 on the way home

 

I've got the same size tires, same chassis and a Leer canopy. I get 16-18 hwy

Try slowing down a little?

What ive found with my truck is that anything over 60-65 the mileage really takes a nosedive.

 

This. I drive a lot of highway miles. If you can set the cruise at 65 and chill you'll get the best mpg. 70 mph and above and it goes downhill fast. I'm always between 70 and 75 and average just over 17 mpg. If I keep it at 65 (which is never) I can break 20 mpg.

 

285/70/17 tires, 4 inch lift and a heavy foot gets me about 12.5-14 mpg.

 

I pretty much average about 17.3, that's back and forth to work 16 miles 1 way.. Little bit of highway. If I pay attention I can get a little better. 265/70/17 tires. ive noticed on highway, if I get up over 65, mileage drops.. if I stay under, it gets pretty good. interstate at 75+ gets terrible.

 

Mid 16 MPGs mixed driving with a lift and 285s.

Give the thing a good tune up and try slowing down and driving like an old man. It’ll help.

 

sounds about right. I do have a big ass steel front bumper with a winch, big ass rear steel bumper w/ swing arm. i get about 220 miles to the tank.

And I cruise at about 80, no heavy accererations though.

 

I wish I could buy a true factory-like option for my existing 2nd gen that gave me Miles To Empty. How hard could it have been for Toyota to install a trip computer in this truck?

I got an aftermarket one, but I have to resent it when I fill up, and I always forget. But I am getting around 17mpg, which is the good news.

 

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one averaging 14ish. Looks like that’s the way it’ll stay I’ve never been a fan of the right lane....

 

Stock and I get a constant 21-23 mph

 

Shoulda got 265s

 

How? Stock I only ever got 17-19 and I drive like a gpa
