    You are incorrect. This is a fact.

    If you want to convince anyone, you're going to have to prove it. But since everything you say is incorrect, good luck with that.

    You guys crack me up. All you need to do to figure out gas mileage is track your miles driven per tank of gas with a GPS and then divide by how much gas you put in your tank when you fill up again. I've been doing this for years and the difference between the truck's odometer and my GPS is always within 1-2 miles over the course of a tank of gas. It use to be within 18-20 miles back when I had the larger tires on. The key to using a GPS to track miles is to have one that plugs into your cigarette lighter and automatically turns on and off along with your ignition, that way you know you always logging miles.

    More often than not with Tacomas the odometer will be accurate with stock tires but the speedometer will read 1-2 mph slower than actual speed, or at least that's been my experience.

    ok i will drive a full tank,
    i think i may have issues, but lets see. I just downloaded the fuelly app, to better track, and i will try to keep consistent at shifting at 2500rpms just to see what kind of mpg ill get..

    ill check back later.

    Heavy tires/wheels will really impact gas mileage. Mass is directly proportional to the force required to turn the wheels. F=ma, more force required = more gas used.

    The lift impacts the aerodynamics.

    You are an aggressive driver. Aggressive driving really hits the mpgs on these trucks. Also, speeds 70mph and above really hit the mileage.
