Only getting 16MPG on my new 2017 Tacoma TRD sport

Nope I mean I get on it every once and while. But not all the time. Mostly just light throttle. But yea my commute it’s about 5 miles everyday. And I sometimes idle for 15 minutes or so when taking a break at work.

 

I’ll go a month or two and then I’ll push update and it will keep a log of the previous 5 updates. That’s about 8 months worth of mpg data in the picture. There is an option to switch between past record and current.

 

Don't know about the tacos but on the work trucks I drove (Ford, Chevy, Dodge), many times I was just getting in and floor it 1 sec after turn ON. All passed 100000 miles and still going strong.

 

Mine.

 

Buy a Tacoma, they said. It will use less gas than an F150, they said.



15.5 l/100 km is about 15.2 US mpg.

 

I only have 4500 miles on the ODO, but I am getting just over 20mpg's with the ETC button used every time.

 

I’ve got 3200 on mine now and im getting better mpg! Im getting 20ish avg mpg

 

I've got 1500 on mine and have been getting 20-24mpg with ECT depending on what route I drive. with out the ECT I had peaked at 25.6 driving home from VT. tank average currently reads 21.2mpg.

 

Hey fellow supra fan! I'm an MKIII guy but appreciate all generations

Anyways your problem with gas mileage is your super short commute, 5 miles isn't even enough to fully warm up your truck so its constantly running in its LEAST efficient form (cold). On top of that you have freezing weather and 15 min idle times.... all together 12mpg actually sounds about right. Thats what I get when I'm up in Mammoth in similar conditions to what you're doing (freezing weather, 3-6 mile "commute" around town, long idle times).

But when I'm back in san diego in 70 degree weather and open freeways I get over 20-22mpg no problem. When I really pay attention and commute slowly between LA and San Diego I've got 26mpg before.

RTT and loaded going to the desert?? I average 14mpg.

Its really all over the place with these trucks but always seems to make sense given context (weather, commute style, mods, etc...)

 

Last fill up I was at 353.2 miles. Light had just come on around mile 350.

 

Mines stock and I get 17-20mpg on a typical day, only time mine gets to 22+ is driving 55mph on long flat roads.

 

My 2011 F-150 with the 3.5L ecoboost is only getting about 13mpg here in southern Idaho. Anything over 15mpg will be better to me.

 

I've got a DCLB and I'm seeing under 16mpgs. Used to be up around 19mpgs so I'm not sure what's going on.
