How bad is my mpg? Anyone with similar mpg's?

im ok with mine, it warms up for 10 to 15 min in the morning and still avg 18 think it may get better with the weather warming up....
being a "lightfoot" helps

 

11k miles on my '13 dcsb 4x4 and I average 15-16mpg

 

I did a mpg highway test with mine just recently with 285's and a lift and best I can managed is 19.5mpg hwy between 60-70mph. City is about 14-15. I'm assuming we are in summer blend out here by now but could be wrong.

 

I have got a best of 21.1 an worse of 19.6. About 50/50 highway an city. That is taking it easy an not getting over 70 mph much. Going to get a tonneau cover soon. Hope it improves a little. We will see.

 

I only got 12 last tank, but most of that was sucked up letting in de-ice the windshield in the driveway before work.

 

Accelerate slowly, don't speed on the highway, keep your air filter clean; about all you can do.

 

That, and drafting.

 

I don't know how you do it? But my 2014 only gets about 15.5; I drive interstate 25 miles one way and keep it under 2K.

 

This is worth a couple mpg's.

xD yeah forgot about that one. A little dangerous though.

 

I was a little shocked.....my Z-71 gets better mileage.

 

It goes from about 17 mpg to 19 for me this time of year. Warmer temps change the fuel/O2 mix, winter gas goes away and I take the sand tubes out of the bed.

 

Oh, and when it gets above about 60 degrees out, I pay a little more for no-ethanol gas and my cost per mile goes down about half a cent. I can only get it in 91 octane here though, and 91 in the winter gives me awful gas mileage (but a nice power boost).

 

90% highway on this tank and I got 19.7 mpg. I kept it at 70 or under for the most part.

9 fill ups tracked and I am averaging 17.7 mpg. If I can't break 20 driving like I have been (slow as a snail) it ain't happening.

 

This looks to be an old thread revived. However after looking through it I am a little disappointed in the number of people initially telling him it's a truck "man up" or go get a preius, however the guy has a legitimate complaint only getting 12 mpg with a new truck. I'd be pissed if my new tacoma only got 12 mpg, and really looking for help to figure out if there is something wrong with the truck.

 

Mine seems to be getting better since I started putting non ethanol fuel in it. Cost a tad more be cost per gallon is better. All I have done so far is run non ethanol an keep it around 2000 rpm all the time.

 

i have found it also depends on what kind of gas you put in if you run 93 octane and keep it under 2rpms you should get a little bit better milage

 

why waste money on 93. The engine does not require it and if you get a mpg improvement it will be minimal. Extra cost will not pay back.

 

When I first got my truck, 2104 TRD Sport DCSB Auto, in Jan '14, I started tracking my mpg's. First tank was 14.5, really disappointed, second was 16.5 and it stayed there for a few tanks then got up to 17.5. This was probably from driving it "easier". Since then I've put a tonneau cover on it and added an Ultra-Gauge (to watch what is going on) and now I'm getting 19.5 mixed driving. I think that the cover (on the hwy), watching how I drive and it has broken in now have all helped. Watching the gauge on the hwy now at 65mph it says I'm getting 23.5 at a constant speed but passing really sucks down the gas.
