I have a 2015 Tacoma. It's a PreRunner Sr5. I've joined to try to find a way to get better mpg. I drive 172 miles round trip to work and home everyday. At 17 mpg its killing me. Any ideas?

Get a shitty used Honda Civic to commute, what you save in fuel will pay for it. I hate to say 17 mpg is normal for your truck...some here will consider 17 great!

Welcome! Not much can be done, maybe swap out the all terrain tires for something lighter.
