I've got 18K on my 08 V6 4WD and after break-in I saw about 1.5 miles extra per gallon to bump over the 20mpg mark. Now after the wheels/tires I'm lucky to see 17.5. That's running 86/87 octane all the time.

I used to pull 24 out of my 99 prerunner with the 3rz with an auto. Just a matter of keeping my foot out of it. Good Luck

 

ok whos the lier getting 25+mpg out of there v6

just kidding how you doing it

 

As of right now Im in the 20 - 25 mpg range. But I havent put on the DTLTs yet or exhaust.....I need more money.

 

V6 between 16 and 20.

 

Won't there be a difference in MPG between 4WD and 2WD or Prerunners?

 

maybe 1 mpg with the v6

 

My 2008 2.7L PreRunner Access Cab 5spd M/T is averaging about 18.5 mpg city. I can manage to get 20.5-21.5 out of it on the highway if i keep it to about 65 mph. Anymore speed and the mileage drops off quickly. I figure this is due to the high (4.10) rear end ratio. The worst I have got from it is 17 mpg in the city, driving like a bat out of hell, and encountering lots of stop and go traffic.

NOTE: The truck came with 245/75-R16 street tires and now has 265/70-R16 10 ply rated tires (substantially larger and much heavier)
All Figures are with the 265/70-R16 tires.

 

1st and only fill up 17mpg

 

2008 2.7 4x4 Access Cab. I average 20 mpg in mixed driving. I haven't taken it on a long drive to figure Hwy mileage, but I would figure 22-24.

 

'09 2.7 Auto Access Cab

8000 miles.

Lowest 17.7 mpg pulling my 16 foot Carolina Skiff

Highest 24.2 mpg highway at 75 mph

Generally get 22-23 mpg on my 94 mile daily commute.

 

08 DBL cab With 6 spd manual with accessories
Daily commute 50 miles with a few hills
Average speed 62 MPH
18 to 19 MPG
More weight u carry the more drag so less MPG. The accessories that I installed was a little more weight I saw a 1 MPG drop

 

2009 access cab, v-6 6-speed, 4x4 offroad package, 10% ethanol here in AR. Just broke 1000 miles last weekend while I was home. Consistent 15 mpg in town, last tank was almost 18 (about 60-70% highway/freeway). I drive it like I stole it, so those numbers seem good to me.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well it handles in the twisties for a 4x4. Tries to wag it's tail a bit in the fast transitions and switchbacks on the pig trail, but it ain't exactly a sports car. All the beeping and flashing lights suck when you're TRYING to slide it sideways around the corners (closed course ). Way more fun with some of those electronic killjoys disabled.

My biggest problem is remembering to shove the clutch pedal into the floorboard when shifting. (previous personal vehicle was a '86 s-10 5-speed with blown out synchronizers and daily driver is a 10-speed fuller non-synchronized trans) I may have to adjust the pedal a bit to get the disengagement point off the floor just a little.

I was getting better mileage in the summer but now that it is winter and it is constantly -10 degrees out my mileage has suffered.

 

My MPG got way better as soon as I diched my 33''s

 

Yea, me too. Mileage has gone down 2 to 3 MPG's since summer time. I think that's due to the type of fuel they make during the winter time. At least that's what they say anyways......
