Post your 1st Gen MPG!

Yeah. Not a lot of problem around here with moisture build-up. Although, it's been a lot wetter this spring than normal.

I'm driving down to Phoenix and back tomorrow with my wife and I tried to get her to go in the taco to see what mileage, etc. would be like on a longer run ... but she prefers to be "comfortable" in her Pilot with leather seats, auto air and all that. Oh ... well ... I'll have to find a "guy" reason to drive somewhere further away sometime soon.

 

Stock 3rz I got about 18-20. After CAI, header, exhaust, and TB spacer went up to about 21-22. Went from 265/75/15's to 245/75/16's off a 2nd Gen and just checked it today 23.8mpg.

 

Stock 2001 Double Cab PreRunner TRD OR 3.4L V6

getting around 13-14 mpg. It's mainly street driving - stop and go traffic to and from school.

 

2000 V6 TRD OR 4x4 Xtra Cab with BFG TKO 31x1050r15 tires (edit: also have deckplate mod). Commute 16 surface street miles round trip to work and get 16-18 mpg. On road trips (i.e. straight freeway driving) I get 20-22mpg.

 

I have a:

2001 XTRA cab with a
4 cylinder 2.7 liter engine with
a 2.5" lift and 285/75/16 Tires

I took a eight hour trip to Pennsylvania and averaged 20 mpg there and 21 back. This was a mix of back roads and freeway.

 

1998 tacoma

v6 3.4L
extended cab

3 inch suspension
33 10:5 toyos

town-16 average
Highway-19 to 20

 

Ended up driving the taco. 21 MPG on the nose over the 300 miles. A lot of up and down hills, slowing down for the six towns and no freeway other than about 20 miles. Not bad I thought.

 

Crap ~ I keep waiting for some one to post what i can expect on 35" MTR's or 36" TSL's

Looks bad either way....

If I can't do better then 12 then I might as well drive the Big Block crew cab on 38's...

 

99 X-Cab 2.4 Auto Im getting 15-18 combined on avg. My normal commute gets me about 17mpg. Wish it was better but such is life.

To be fair though I am running 31" all terrains geared w/ 4.11's. The LT means glass too which doesnt help aerodynamics.

Engine mods include CAI, DT header, high flow cat and cat back exhaust .

 

same here, as high as 20.8 on one highway trip.

 

2003 4x4 3.4l Manual Trans. 75,xxx miles
265/75r16 mt, 3in lift

Get right around 19mpg mixed driving

 

4 cyl. 5spd averaging around 22..was 20-21 before k&n drop in. this is going off odometer mileage though i need to check it off the gps as the speedometer is a few off

 

02 v6 on stock (265/70/16) tires. Average 16.5 during the winter and 17.5 when they aren't adding 10% alcohol to the gas. Definately improves during the warmer months.

Are all of you guys that are running larger than stock sized tires compensating for the error introduced by larger tires?

 

YUP CHECK MY FUELLY YO! Its so fresh and tasty. I have mad stats and just about under 8K mi tracked dudes! Clicky the Linky in my Siggy! Its like WHOA.... Fo Sho.

 

2001 Toyota Tacoma 4x4

22.5 mpg last fill up.

 

2.7 ltr 3rz A/T stock-size K02 tires 4.88 gears >380K miles long-tube header true-CAI. Combined hwy/city 20 mpg. If I am easy with the right foot 1-2 more mpg.

 

My 3rz is just bad. I have always got bad mpg. Maybe 15mpg. Lifted 6in with 31's

Daily avg ~20 mpg (20 miles, 4 City, 16 on 55-65mph flat Rd)

Drive with a feather foot or cruise control (not as good unless you really tweak it right) be cognisant of elevation/hills. Keep your intake/air system @#$& clean, change your plugs at proper intervals, replace your O2 sensors at proper intervals, don't get massive/wide knobby tires, don't strap anything on top or have a cage/rack on top of the truck, don't lift the truck beyond 2 inches and you should be able to achieve this.

When commute to th trail to go hunting or off into the back country I just keep my gear/fuel/water in the bed/cap. I don't have a rack because I don't want to have the resistance ruin my gas milage.

Once you're at the trail all bets are off, you're gonna get dog $@#& mileage no matter what so strap your gear on top.

 

2004 2 door 4wd with stock wheels and tires, I get about 17-18 in the city and 20-22 on the highway.

 

In the 20 years I've owned mine, I don't think I ever monitored the mileage. I don't drive it much - maybe 1,500-2.000 miles per year. I do have an amusing on topic anecdote, though:

When Toyota Priuses came out in the early 2000s, the new owners tended to gloat a bit about their mileage. I was at a gas pump in early summer filling my Tacoma when a Prius owner asked me in a snide way what kind of mileage I got. I grinned at him and said, "Well, this is only my second fill-up of the year. How 'bout you?"
