MPG SUCKKKS!!

exactly
Prerunner and different engines will show better numbers.
The other guy who claimed 22 did not respond back....hmm
that is what is wrong with mpg numbers.
Bottom line in the V6 4x4 is to keep foot mashing the pedal and no jackrabbit starts.

 

Operator error. accelerate slower and try to stay under or at 70mph. There is not such a huge difference between your truck and every other V6 4x4 that would warrant an almost 5-6mpgs loss to overall average of these trucks

 

It's driving habbits and the MT tires. I get 12-13mpg pulling an 19' boat through the mountains. and 19-20mpg normal driving. I have slightly taller than stock AT tires though.

 

Thanks for input guys

 

My TRD offroad with 3" lift and 33" BFG MT's gets 15 city and 17 highway doing 75-80mph.....

 

^ Damn i feel like i should be getting a couple miles more mpg wise ill try a few things

 

are your miles adjusted for tire size?

 

Its 4WD

 

My truck is a 4WD

 

i don't know man ... that low of mileage on a 3" lift with 33s just seems WAY too low. 16-20mpg is stock range with 14-22 the outside extreme. If you were around 14 mixed with a lead foot or 15-16 not driving crazy, I'd say it was normal. But that's crazy low. Even if you didn't adjust the speedo for bigger tires, below 14 is still way low. I'd be pissed too.

 

your the shit driver then lol good job

 

I try to drive about 62 unless I'm in a hurry. On most long trips (STL - Colorado) I average about 20.2 mpg. I check every fillup. Followed a motor home at 68 mph that had really good mud flaps & skirts & got 22.7 mpg. You have to be careful doing that though, rocks are rough on the windshield.
Mine is a 2010 4X4 Auto, & I baby it most of the time to save gas & brakes. I only abuse it in the Colorado Mountains, on & off road.

 

According to my Fuel Log app.

Best: 14.76 mpg
Avg: 14.13 mpg
Worst: 12.88 mpg

285/65/18's (approx 33") I drive average. I try to keep it under 2k as much as possible, but it's kind of hilly around here.

 

How do you recalibrate your computer for bigger tires I always wondered this....

 

To me that mpg seems low. With my lift and tires I still get 17.5-18.5 city and 18.5-19.5 highway. I take nice and easy and try to keep the rpms down. On the highway I do about 75 mph. Others in Fl can tell you that is slow on I-75.
Check the basics: air filter, psi in tires, plugs, oil. Go from there.

 

don't tempt me These pain killers I'm on make that sound like a REALLY AWESOME idea at the moment. . . Hmmm

 

Yup slowing down will help as many people have said.

As you speed up, the wind resistance goes up exponentially. Lets say it again...
exponentially.

I don't know what the optimal cruising speed it for saving $$ but slowing down will help

cheers

Mostly i ride my ducati through out the warm months =D

 

for me between 50-75 kms or around there I get 31-33 mpg US. Hard to keep it that speed though

 

20.59 posts per day? You must be posting while in that gridlocked Philly traffic.

I do believe the window sticker that said 17/23 since I actually get that even with larger tires and a lift.
