Post your mpg

I drove from Vancouver CA. to Everett Wa. Today and back and got 11.8l/100km or 19.93 mpg this was done mostly in econo mode and only used ECT PWR mode for passing and up larger hills.oh yes and I was running 87 grade gas.

 

I'm with you! Even if my fuel mileage gets worse I was expecting to pay more in fuel after owing the best cuv on the market interns of mpg.
Best mpg out there but you can't take the smile off my face with the 16 TRD Sport.

 

mixture of city and hwy driving. V6 4x4 auto tranny. I get 20 mpg average. This picture was my best so far on 55 mph country roads.


Note: I got this truck new in December during the cold part of the year. I was frustrated because I was only getting 16 mpg...as the weather warmed up and I put more miles on my truck, things got a lot better

 

I think a tonneau will make a huge improvement in mpg.. Now interesting in knowing if people get crap mileage with a tonneau.. I started off getting 17-18mpg brand new and now get 23-25 15 mile backroads trips almost 7k miles. I got 22 with ect gunning it frequently around
3-4k rpm shifts

 

Drove from Modesto ca to Oakland airport and back. Hit some traffic but not much. Had some Hills. Average 22.2 miles. When driving there I used ECT coming back only for a few. Used air conditioning full time on the way back. It's about 76 miles one way. Going up the hills I had to gas it more but truck handled it well. So not to bad.

 

Manual v6, 3" lift, 285's

Have not had more than15 mpg since I bought it...before and after lift no difference.

 

Completely stock 16' 4X2 SR5 access cab. Texaco 89 octane gas.
I drove from Columbus, GA to Atlanta and back today with the AC on the whole time and averaging 70-71mph on the interstate there and part way back with some secondary roads on the return trip.

 

A few weeks ago I picked up the 2016 4x4 TRD OffRoad at Tacoma West in Columbus, OH.
Automatic transmission......driving on average 70 mph.....sometimes 85 with heavy foot....got about 20-21 mph.
Got home to Texas, put on 17" TRD wheels from FN Wheels.....Nitto 265/70/r17 115T , Gatortrax retractable cover, made a couple of 3 hr highway trips, 70-85 mph, getting 17mpg.

 

3 tanks in, with a stock SR AC MT 2.7, no cap/tonneau, not carrying much, averaging 24.2 mpg. Probably 80% highway. Admittedly, I have a pretty light foot, and let it take its dear sweet time getting up to speed.

 

SR DCSB 3.5L 4x4
First tank was 20.1 mpg. About 80% highway miles.

 

I don't know if I agree. I'm starting to notice a bit of an improvement almost immediately after hitting 1000 miles. Nothing definitive yet, but I noticed last night that my instantaneous MPGs were well over 15MPG (the halfway point) consistently while driving in the city, whereas the previous few days I found it damn near impossible to get instantaneous MPGs to show over 15MPG. We'll see in the coming days, but it seems like there has been a slight improvement for me. Time well tell...

 

I was a 2nd gen hater and truly feel bad for a lot of you guys, but I'm getting 20-21 mpg with AC on the whole time on my first tank, wonder why there's such a fluxuation amongst everyone's mpgs.

 

Driving habits and mods.

 

I guess, just odd seeing that even guys with bigger tires are getting better than some reported 15mpg. In the old powertrain a 3'' lift with E/D rated 285 tires only netted a 1-2mpg loss.

 

Something seems to have happened to my truck shortly after hitting 1000 miles that improved my fuel efficiency significantly. Or course, I didn't do fuel calcs, I'm just basing this on the computer, but from what I read they seem to be fairly accurate. I went from getting 15-16mpg around town, to all of a sudden getting 20-21mpg around town (add ~3 for highway). We'll see if I continue to get this fuel efficiency, but I'd be surprised if I didn't.

I wonder if something in the truck's "learning" process isn't happening on some of these trucks?

 

My brother in law knows a guy where he works thats married to the sister of the wife of a Toyota engineer. He says they send out ECM updates to the new Tacomas via satellite transmission at 1,000 miles.

 

^sounds totally legit

 

This was driving home from the office today. On I-5 northbound about five miles north of downtown Everett, Washington on a level stretch of the freeway. I reset the 'average fuel economy' every morning. This is at about 1/4 of the tank of fuel being used, and I had driven about 40 miles so far today at the time the picture was taken.

 

Set a new personal record. Actual distance on GPS was 118 miles which would make it 25.4MPG. Usually only average 21-22MPG on my trips to the coast but decided to take the back way which cuts out about 25 miles of going 70MPH+ on I-40.

 

Been getting 400+ miles per tank. Happy with the gas mileage. Took me less than a gallon to get home from work. Avg 21 on this tank.
