    I'm pretty pleased with the MPG results of my 2018 TRDOR 4x4 AT. This is 100% city driving, 7540 miles on the clock and 35psi in the tires. I also run in S6 mode. I was hoping for 20 city, but I'll take it. I suppose it could increase a little when fully "broken-in" which is pretty soon if not already...Happy first Toyota owner!!

    That's pretty much the same as my 17 Limited. Had a 23.5 for one day immediately after the trans TSB, but then it settled down.

    2" w/ 255/85r16s and about 400lbs of armor.

    It doesn't help my commute is fully up hill in the morning so you never quite get that back going home.

    Haven't filled up yet but if it's close to this or right at I'm pleased. Every Jeep wrangler I have ever owned got 14 to 16 no matter what.

    I get around 14.5 city - I'm constantly going up hills as well. Full RCI front skid plate set and that's about it.

    I'll see similar numbers in the spring/summer, but for whatever reason my truck does NOT seem to like winter gas.

    I mean, I always expect a drop with the winter blend, but this truck in particular seems to really see a drop with it.

    My foot.
    I was so confused with the mpg results in this truck at first but I've come to the conclusion that these things are HEAVILY impacted by driving habits and "speed sweet spots." My daily commute is 52 miles round trip, almost exactly half city/hwy, and I'm getting 19 when I drive normally.

    I've actually been Impressed with the computer calculated milage. It's never off more than 2 or 3 tenths of a mpg. Ive the fulley app to track milage from day one and have a little over 15k miles.

    Just FYI, my computer is 3.6 mpg higher than 21k miles of using Fuelly.

    Tracking via miles to gallons in at the pump on a 16 Trd OR double cab with stock everything save a ~60 lb voodoo bed rack is ~16.0.

    Edit: Not saying yours is wrong, just suspect from my experience. I do have some hills but not constant and I have towed our trailer through a couple moves but all in town save the rare weekend trip to the beach (like this weekend for example). I get 22ish, fwy traveling.

    Try mileage keeper if you got apple. Ive used it for a while and tracks mpg per tank, lifetime mpg, and cost. Think it was free on App Store

    I'm at around 1,700 miles right now. According to the computer I was getting an average of 21.0 mpg driving 80 mph on level ground. Changed out the 245/75-16 to 265/65-17 tires, and now it's reading around 19.5 average.

    Still better than my old Jeep.

    Oh how different the mileage is when you live in flat areas. It is too hilly where i live.

    That's Great. Just wanted people to realize that the computers needed to be checked. I only had one rig with a computer mileage display and it was 2 mpg off. Figured it was a selling feature so you would tell your friends. I am surprised and disappointed with the lack of power and poor gas mileage on my 97 with 2.7. I wonder how much the 15-33s are costing me. can't run below 1500 rpm or it lugs and 5th gear is only for flat land. Any grade you have to drop to 4th.
