Horrible Fuel Economy on 2013 trd DBCB

I think it should.

Kinda funny that all the guys reporting 20 mpg are from southern US. It's gotta be the snowy cold weather here. I checked my wife's RAV4 last week, 368km for a tank. That's a 4 cylinder.....

 

Just broke 1000 miles on my new tacoma , I am at about 17.5 mpg . I am light on the pedal

 

Michigan

 

Stay with the stock paper filters. They are the best for this truck.

Are you a lead foot? I am and i get crappy mpg.

Plus are you getting winter fuel? That does not help.

 

Ok how do you know granny pantys?

 

That's pretty good, I live in Morgantown and only get 15mpg in town babying it. '12 V6 DCLB bone stock with 5k miles...

 

Just got back from Corpus Christie, TX. 2860 miles round trip pulling at 24' HiLo TT @ approximately 4700# plus 300# bike in the bed and 400# of people average mpg on the down hill run from beautiful NE iowa trying to maintain 60mph 12.3. Uphill run trying to maintain 65mph 10.9mpg. Rear tires 40psi, fronts 35psi.

Normal mpg mixed city, highway 19-20, highway 20-21mpg @ 60. Always keep the Goodyear triple treads @ 35 psi

 

Ok So I have increased the PSi in my tires, drove like a complete and utter grandma with shifts at 2000rpm and even tried 92 octane fuel.....still getting 12.2 mpg or 18.7 l/100km over my last two tanks. This truck is still completely stock and currently has 1600km on it.

Is it worth it for me to take it to my dealer or will I be looked at as an idiot? As stated before I don't expect Corrolla fuel economy just what everyone else on here seems to report to have as fuel economy...16-19mpg

 

How many kms you getting when the fuel light comes on ?

 

I typically fill up before the light comes on at about an eighth of a tank left and today that was at 333km. I have been using a fuelly app to monitor my fuel economy.

 

Wow , that is bad

I was wondering if maybe you had some calculation error happening

I average 420-440kms from full to the low level light coming on with my DCLB , OME lift , commercial cap , 275's , and 200 lbs of tools

 

Yeah I thought so too! I have noticed in some of the threads that you in particular are getting way better mileage while carrying weight. I am going to have to see my dealer and see what the hell is going on. My buddy has a new Ford F-250 Super Duty and gets 19l\100km! If only I had the tow capacity and size of that truck would I be content with the mpg I am getting.

 

I would def take it to the dealer

 

Will do ....at least I know I am not crazy! Even if the dealer may think I am..lol

 

Lol at the guy who said 25mpg...you're fucking high.

Before supercharger and after supercharger minimal change for me. Average around town is probably 14MPG Winter...16MPG summer. Highway between 16-18MPG depending on speed, wind, sun direction (you look at the truck funny and it burns fuel)...these trucks blow for fuel economy lol.

I will mention that most of the time I average on the lower side...I don't really focus on the fuel economy...I actually think around town my fuel economy is better with my supercharger but logic says that's bullshit lol.

 

19.3 80 percent highway 20 percent around town. I can't do any better and that's driving under 2000 all the time. Winter gas!!

 

Is the mpg or l/100km...just be clear?

 

Nice sig pic!

 

He's , so probably US MPG

 

That's what I figured......
