Toyota Tacoma "Real World" Gas Mileage

2010 access cab trd offroad, 4l v6 with 265-75-16. Best I ever got was the day I bought it. Cruise control set at 70mph, 99.9% highway- 21mpg's, worst I got was in January, between winter warmups & minuscule amount of driving in 4wheel drive on snow covered roads 12.94mpg's. on the average with 80% city driving I get between 17.5 & 18.5 mpg's pretty consistently.

 

2006 double cab trd offroad (2wd), ARE cab height topper, stock suspension, toyo at2 265/70/16.
last 3-4 tanks got 19mpg, most of my driving is highway about 80% (50-55mph posted speed) very rarely go above 65mph.

 

Ruffus - is your current average mpg reflecting the 265-75-16 tires effect on your odometer?

 

2015 DC 4.0 4x4 getting 20.5 to 21.5 every tank

 

Yes, all calculations include 3% adjustment for tire height difference, & all mpg results are with the 265-75-16's. I bought the truck used & it came with new 265-75-16"s.

 

2012 DCLB 4x4 265/70/17
My norm is about 13 or 14 mpg city. Of course im in fl so the AC is always blasting

 

2010 4x4 2.7L 5 speed here.

I've been averaging almost exactly 20 mpg every tank. I was hoping for a boost in fuel economy of an mpg or two after I installed my shell, but I haven't seen any improvements just yet.

 

@NUMMI TACOMA
you probably wont seem improvements.. should stay the same or drop..

was getting 19 with out topper but filter was dirty, washed filter and put topper on and still at 19.

 

I have a 2016 Limited 4X4 with about 22K miles. I get within 1 MPG of 22 MPG on every tank and it doesn't matter if I am in town or on the highway. When on the highway I always used the cruise set to 65mph. On two trips recently, I travelled about 40 miles at 65mph without the cruise and one ended with 26mpg and one almost 29mpg! I notice that if traveling at 65 on level highway and I engage the cruise I can hear a slight sound but there is no change in the rpms. What is going on?

 

Just bought a automatic 2012 doublecab prerunner with 2.7L engine and i've been getting 22-23 mpg. Very happy so far.

 

09 Prerunner 2WD 5MT 2.7L 100% stock 89 Octane from Shell late September blend?:
I was getting around 20mpgs but an erratic o2 sensor would sometimes get me 17-18mpg's. This is my first full fuel tank with a brand new o2 sensor and I calculated 40.1 MPG's.! I'm like wtf is this real life? So I came on here to research fuel mileages and it looks like I either miscounted the miles or the ECU is re-learning stuff. I didn't notice any loss in power or anything. Weird.

 

2012 2wd single cab 4cyl:

23 mpg nothing but fwy empty doing 70-75
20-21 mpg "normal" driving
17 mpg fully loaded bed towing 2000+ lbs, all fwy 65-70 mph

 

'05 ACLB 4x4, 4.0L/auto, ~175k miles, Leer shell, TRD CAI, JBA cat-back, 3" RevTek spacer lift with 285/70r17. Averaging 19mpg.

 

DCSB 4X4 with 285x75x17 toyo mts e load. TRD supercharger. Long travel, armor bumpers and glass fenders. This combo = give up trying to calculate and just swipe the card asshole

 

LOL that's exactly how I felt on our last trip with the trailer

 

14.5-15.3 daily commute

 

20.65 varied conditions hwy

New FM Delta 50....new Denso plugs

All new syn gear and motor oil

Tonne cover....clean lightly oiled K N AF

 

2012 TRD OR DCSB, '17 TRD Pro wheels (fairly heavy) with 265/70r16's. I get 20 in mixed, 23 on the highway. I saw 24.2 on pure highway at 67mph. I run it on 91/92 octane.

 

Just did a long 5.5 hour drive each way on highway going up north. Cruise set to 70 mph almost all the way up I got 19.2 mpg's, on the way home it's usually better mpg's ( more downhill), 21.3 mpg's
pretty sure I could have gotten 22+ if it wasn't for 2 hours of heavy Toronto to almost home bumper to bumper traffic going 70-30-60-0-70 etc. Since my last mpg post I've added a tonneu, snorkel, & sliders.

 

Just a plain-Jane 2007 V4 Regular Cab. My daily routine is sort of 50-50 back dirt roads (it's where I live) and 55 mph highway. That gets me about 22 mpg. On longer trips on the Interstate, I usually get 24-24.5 (I don't drive real fast, mostly 65 mph +- ). This is based on long term careful record keeping. I'm a bit surprised that the differential isn't greater.
