The 2000 rpm GAME!

i jsut did it this weekend on the highway going about 72 miles per hour. went about 360 miles on 17 gallons

 

who splain me this???????

 

*cough*BULLSHIT

Rally racing on dirt? If you were pushing it then you'd have like 20-30mi worth just in wheel spin.

There is something wrong with your engine. Period. Sorry.

 

dude he was saying he was doing "Rally Speed" towing.. lol

any who I avrage 275 a tank about 16gals. with a 2000 2.7L with 140k. plus swampers Armor and etc! so I think I do pretty good!

 

I'm pretty sure someone would rear end me if I tried this in the city.. At the very least I would have hearing damage from all the horns blasting.

 

not on dirt like gumball 3000 but it was on roads with slow speed limits around 3 in the morning so we kept slaming on brakes for cops and floring it and turingin

 

wooot

 

well you can keep it at whatever rpm you want but your not going to win! im starting this weekend with a trip out to the river!

 

all im saying is higher RPMs do not mean more fuel is being spent. EX I drive a 4banger theres no way I can even cruise under 2K, maybe with an Auto trans! its all about how you handle the skinny pedal..

 

i think hes talking about acellerating, under 2k i get great milage but im usualy around 3k

 

I just filled up my tank for the third time in my 07 DC LB 4x4 TRD all stock with half a bed load of tools and a hard tonneau and I am hitting 600km (375mi) on 67 litres(17 gal) of fuel. mostly hwy driving at around 2200 rpm. I am toatally impressed with my mileage and just love my "new to me" Tacoma.

ps. it has 37000km (23000mi) on the clock

yeah 3K is the norm, I cant even shift out of first or 2nd before 2k

 

It's accelerating like your on your way to the court hearing where you'll be tried for murder--Wicked slow to take it all in for the last time.

 

My rural 24 mi r/t commute w/ only one light is almost all 2K or less.

Light goes on, fill up shortly after 366 mi w/ 17.8 gal. = 20.6 mpg, no E10 gas here .

6spd 4x4 DC.

 

Where do you live where rush hour actually moves? Here in Atlanta I can keep it under 1k rpm in rush hour, coast and brake

 

ok, so my gas light came on and I filled up with 87.
Drove the truck to and from work all hwy at 65mph.
Gas light came back on at 385 Miles on the tank.
Pushed it to 410 Miles and then filled it up. Took 18.91 Gallons to fill it.

410 / 18.91 = 21.68 MPG

I have an 09 PreRunner Access Cab V6 TRD Sport. so not too bad

 

Last year i saw a best of 28.2 mpg, 450mi round trip on I84 in oregon
08 reg cab 4wd no mods at the time. use the trip meter then divide by the fillup gallons
used 87 octane
42 tire psi
drove @ 60 mph
Now my best this year same trip is 26.7mpg, i did elbow mod and 2nd filter and trying 89 octane.( plz dont thread jack this into elbow n filter "discussions")

 

I just filled up yesterday. This is my best MPG since I put bigger tires on last year. 4cyl RC prerunner. Most of it was highway but I am usually right around 21MPG.

415.8 miles
18.03 gallons
23.06 MPG

 

I have nearly a perfect daily drive for this post... suburban, 45mph speed limit, 19 miles, not too many stop lights and relatively flat terrain. I've driven my truck back and forth to work every day since it was new and the auto tranny shift points are pretty interesting now... I can get it in 4th at 25-26 mph and can get into (and stay in) 5th at 34-35 mph. Of course if my foot even twitches at those speeds it'll downshift but it's not lugging. It's pretty rare for me to get over 2000 rpm when going to/from work. However, best mileage seems to be in 5th right around 45 mph.

Yesterday I filled up:

17.05 gallons
386 miles
22.63 mpg

Mileage overall has gotten better since I crossed over 2000 miles on the odo... started at 21.5 and has crept up to 22.25-22.75 now.

I just recently did a round-trip from NC to TX... all interstate driving, 65-70 mph and only got 20.5 average for the trip. Go figure...
