Ok, I will need to get the GPS out again and have a look. Thanks! I hope I am getting slightly better gas milage than I think. That would be awesome!

the easiest way would be to drive past mileage markers and see where ur at...but for more accurate numbers, u'd definately need the gps

Ok guys, I know there are a lot of threads out there about MPG. However, I couldnt find any that I could relate to. So I thought I would ask anyways.

So, I have a 2006 DC TRD Sport. Has a 3" Lift with AAL in the rear and Nitto Terra Grappler Tires (285/65 R18). I am only getting about 16.5mpg average. Is that normal for a lifted Tacoma with larger tires. I normally am driving right at 2000rpm's. I dont mash on the trottle at all. I read all these guys are getting like 21 mpg and I am like WTF!!! AHAH! I lifted my truck and got the tires the day I bought it. So, I dont know what the MPG's were stock. So, I am wondering if the trucks with the same type of setup are getting close to what I am getting as fas as MPG's.

Let me know any insight you might have.

I've got the almost exact same setup, except the bf goodrich baja champion tires, which I think make it a little worse, and I get around 19 hwy. I am 90% city driving though and when there, before I put the Aero Turbine exhaust on, I got what you're reporting.

Your numbers are pretty spot on.

From my calculatiopns, your odo is 6.6% off. Tak your milage recorded by the odo, add 6.6% then do your division.
