    9" of Super Bro lift
    Averaged 19.5 to 20.5mpg on my V6 before lift.

    With the 6" lift I get 16.5 to 18mpg, depending on how I drive.

    I'm averaging about 200 mile to a tank of gas which is roughly around 12 mpg. If anyone else getting that bad of mileage? I have urd cold air and the air mass calibrator, leveling kit and 265/75/16 duratracs. Its starting to get cold up here in pa where I'm working, does air temp play a major role in gas mileage?

    None yet. Bed cover, brush guard, leveling kit coming soon.
    2011 trd 3 inch in front 2.5 rear 285 km2s. 22 miles to work 2 miles of that in town the rest on hwy at 60-65 I get 13-15 mpg before lift with the 265s I got 17-18. Not very pleased I thought it would do better. My dad and brother have Eco boost fords that get 19-20 and the drive faster than I do.

    Before lift around 17.5 mix of city and hwy. Now after lift and tires 15.5 pretty consistent how I drive does not seem to matter to much.

    I have tracked every fill up since purchase new.

    12 MPGs does seem low, but there are lots of factors that can detract from decent FE. Cold air robs MPGs and with cold air in many parts of the country, winter fuel is usually what's available. Ethanol blended fuels also detract from FE.

    Have my first Tacoma V-6 w/ 4x4 (before this truck, always had 4x2 V-6 Prerunners) and the mileage is 2 to 3 miles lower on this 4x4.

    But I can still stay above 15 MPG and even get over 20 MPG on a level highway road (and I always run A/C compressor).

    1st Fill up = 17.4 mpg. All short trips/city driving.

    Of course, I can't be sure how full the dealer filled the tank when I purchased it, so perhaps a little better then 17.4.

    Not thrilled with this, as I was trying to drive very conservatively. I have heard that mileage should improve from the initial tanks
