Holy MPG!!!

Jealous, I averaged 8.0-8.4 driving all the way to and from Colorado from Fort Worth pulling my Patriot X2...many fuel stops lmao

 

this gives me anxiety

 

100% uphill with 285's with a trailer and the engine hammered?

Just kidding

 

I feel you mang. I'm on an island so I rarely take this truck past 45mph. And to all you prius fan's out there, I was rocking a used '10 for about 5 years and averaged 41.9... driving on the island I would lose track of the last time I filled it with gas. Great little car, except I almost tore the bumper off going down the dirt roads.

 

lol... Right. I bet this pic was taken after filling up at the top of a hill and rolling down to the bottom of the hill a mile later...

 

It will slowly start to decrease as you use it more. My first 10k miles I was averaging 22-24. I am at 40k now and average 15-18 mpg.

 

If I can get 17mpg on a long drive on the back roads of ME with a 2500 Ram, it's certainly possible that you could get 24 with a Tacoma. Definitely hand calculate it at the pump if you want to be sure, though. The readouts on the dash vary from "kind of accurate" to "the computer's been drinking" in both directions, low and high.

 

LOL
More like 35's with LT, trailer, and wayyy too much weight everywhere else

 

I have a 2017 and with stock tires I always ended around 21-22 per tank. Now with the 265-75/16s I get about 19 per tank. 20 if I’m lucky. It’s been like this for 35,000 miles unless I tow the boat or drive like a dingaling

 

I get 30mpg just by running Prius tires.

 

PLEASE!

show us a picture!!!!!!

 

Are they not 245/75’s ???

 

he said he is running prius wheels and tires

I WANNA SEE A PICTURE!!!

 

Tree loving California hippie here: turns out you can drive a truck with bad gas mileage AND take care of the planet. Lotta folks giving me shit about that too, haha. Not mutually exclusive.

 

Reminds of a study I read years ago where in especially eco minded neighborhoods in California all the solar panels were installed on the curb side of the house regardless of where the sun was best. What makes a Prius special is everyone knows it's a Prius.

 

dinnit say nuthin' 'bout wheels......that'ed be silly.

 

It's real.
I drove 6000+ miles from KY to ID and back in September and really paid attention to the MPGs. At "normal" interstate speeds (70ish) I got 19 or 20 MPGs. On US highways/backroads doing 55-65mph I got 22-23 MPGs. On interstates Out West with the absurdly high speed limits (doing 80-90mph) my mileage plummeted.

 

Theres places down there with 80-90mph speed limits??!

 

Not saying you're not getting that, but it looks like your tank is full, and the computer usually resets on a refill. If I drive downhill right after filling up, I expect to get those numbers at first, until it starts to average out.

 

I would get similar results driving around 55mph and easy on the acceleration when I was stock.
