Tacoma Fuel Economy

Wish I'd known the 6 cylinders get as good as mileage as the 4 I probably would have bought one.

 

Should add SC'ed V6 to the poll...just did my mileage for the last tank = 16

 

If I drive decent and not like a crazed lunatic I average like 19.5 mpg. Best I ever got was 20.8, that was on open road, driving speed limit or little over.

Short, quick trips around town drops my mpg fast, mine evidently doesn'tlike stopping and starting.

 

My STOCK '11 V6 DCLB gets about 19-21mpg. And I use this truck for commuting, yikes!! I use to fill up every 2 weeks on my Xterra, now I'm filling up 3x a month . Oh well I knew what i was getting

 

What year/specs was your Xterra? My dad has an '05 SE 4x4 with the 4.0 VQ and he gets the same mileage almost to the dot as my 4.0 4x4 Sport DCSB (both right around 19.5-20).

 

Yes. Larger tires will result in a real speed that is higher than the indicated speed (your speedometer will read low). Your odometer will also read low (your real miles traveled will be higher than indicated).

 

My hawaii driving has left me with 13.8 MPG last fillup... Not cool. I miss freeways!

 

I drive almost all in the city and get ~26 mpg in the summer. Highway is 28-30 mpg. Wintertime is about 19 mpg city. This is in Missouri, where summer gets up to 95 and winter is down to 0 degrees. I don't know about anybody else, but i just might have the most fuel efficient pickup truck ever.

 

22 mpg last tank and that includes lift, 285s, and a lot of extra weight. The gas was ethanol free

 

im getting about 20 mpg in my 02 2RZ

 

Holy old thread re-revival!
I voted this time . 21city 26 freeway fwiw.

 

bought a used tacoma from the dealer and used a whole tank since march first (date of purchase). It was pretty much all city driving on my 2.7. i got 14.5mpg.. WTF. and its completely stock. what with that toyota?

its a 09 and yada yada

18.8 is my magic number

 

From Boise to Moscow (Idaho), average a 22.2 MPG (~320miles), with majority highway and some city. 4 cylinder 5 speed manual

 

2007, 4/auto, extended cab, camper shell
* In town: 18 MPG
* On the road: 24 MPG (60-65 MPH)
* Stripped down and stock (no camper shell or heavy load)/cruise control/55 MPH/abt 2000 ft/ abt 60 deg F/ abt 250 mi: 36 MPG.
The 36 MPG was obtained on a trip during an unplanned test to get the best possible MPG. Route was a flat, smooth asphalt road with little traffic during the fall in the high desert between Bishop, CA and Boron, CA going south (Thin, cool air and VERY slight downhill.). Started with a full tank in Bishop and measured fill-up in Boron. I have not had a chance to try this again to see if it is repeatable. Vehicle was still relatively new and had only stock equipment and tires.
I have found that the road speed has a large impact on the fuel economy. The vehicle has the streamlining of a box rather than a rocket.

 

I've been getting 17.3 and 17.6 mpg for the first couple of fill-ups. I changed my oil and put in a synthetic flavor and on the first fill-up calculated 18.5 mpg. Not a huge deal but I was happy.

 

wish I could find in my area

 

city 14ish
hwy 18ish

 

My 2006 4.0 gets 22 mpg in town and 25 mpg on the highway. Which is nice since we do a pretty good bit of traveling.

 

631 miles on my 2011 Access Cab 4x4 2.7 and just got 21.8 mpg. All country driving on two-land roads. Hoping for a little more after I change to synthetic fluids and break it in some more.
