29 MPG on a 2022 Tacoma?

With my driving 70% highway approximately Im averaging 20 to 21 per tank I think that’s acceptable. Since I’m running 265-75-16

 

25mpg on mine

 

Years ago I read somewhere, someplace, maybe it was a car magazine, about the shenanigans car companies pulled when the MPG numbers were first required to be reported. They actually drove real but stripped down cars for a certain number of hundreds of miles on actual roads to get the MPG numbers. It was the fine art of exactly following the letter of the law but not necessarily the intent of the law. Supposedly Chrysler had some absurdly carefully mapped route where they were basically driving down hill more or less the whole time. This led to a much more scientific standardized test being developed.

 

This was last night for me. 24.6 mpg, city driving

 

Can I play along.

 

The Volkswagen TDI emissions cheating scandal was an interesting one as well.

My coworker got a great payout for his TDI wagon.

 

I'm averaging 16.9 with a 75/25 city to highway mix. Not great but not terrible. Can get 23/24 on long trips average that I'm happy with. Wish the tank held another 5 gallons though.

 

Must be the front air dam doing its job!
That, or the hood scoop!!

 

Stickers. Has to be stickers. And half of them must say TRD.

 

You can get decent mileage - I get this type of return on MPG usually doing 70-75 mph
on the highway - level highway - steady as she goes. When towing - subtract 10.

 

Why is this display in color? mine is just black and white shades. Am I missing something?

 

Yep closed throttle will do it every time. Best I have ever done with my manual was 23 on Maine back roads.

 

His truck probably self identifies as an EV or hybrid.

 

Are some of these 4 bangers? My 2015 v-6 was always 15 to 16 the way I drive and my 2023 is pretty much the same. Cruise freeways at 80+ and hilly around town.

 

The 4 cylinders actually get worse MPG highway than the V6.

 

I just got back from a 800 mile road trip today and averaged 19 MPG. That’s with 32” tires, 1” lift, camper shell, 2 adults and 2 kids, and all of our shit. Not to shabby, especially with about 150 of those miles traveling through the mountains of Yosemite. I get 16-17 normal everyday driving. Those #s are with adding 4% to my mileage to account for the bigger tires, BTW.

 

Has to be in settings ?

 

These truck's don't like anything above 65mph if you're concerned about m.p.g. I drive very conservative, never ever use 6th and 5th only over 55 m.p.h. these trucks can eat fuel if lugged around. I use only sport mode, ECT always on and keep the r.p.m.'s between ~2-2.3k. One has to realize these so called midsized trucks are as big and heavy as the old full sized trucks with a small exception to width.
