V6 KM per Tank ?

went 442km on 59L, 2011 TRD Off Road access cab 4x4, mostly just around town about 120km on the highway.
13.35 L/100km, 17.6 MPG

 

There has to be people getting better then that. The 2.7 shouldnt be a lot better mpg. Im just reaching the halfway mark at 400-450. Maybe you guys drive too hard !

 

Some of the US guys are getting 21-22 MPG with the 4.0 V6 , but they must be all highway miles

 

I am in Canada and I am averaging just over 20 mpg with my 4.0 V6 double cab TRD 4x4. The truck is almost never on the highway and my commute to work will average about 80 km/h till I hit the city then 50km/h until I get to the office, about 15km of each, each way.

 

Sounds like my usually driving. That's about the sweet spot for me. I don't get good highway mpg really. 22-23 maybe at best

 

We're all in Canada in this thread

 

I consistently get 17mpg. I drive 75-85mph on 90% interstate in rush hour. That is real world driving passing women in the left hand lane on their cellphones. I drive 60 miles round trip and maybe 11 miles is two lane at 45. I could definitely get better milage but people around here do not know how to correctly use a 3 lane interstate.

 

I just had my best tank this year 450 km all city driving - (V6, 285 tires)

 

OK Boys! To do this properly you have to tell people how many liters you used per 100km. This is how it's done in Canada and in the rest of the world,where the metric system is used!!!Not this how many km per liter crap.
WTF!!??
mine uses 11-13 liters highway

 

Get outta my thread with that litres per 100 km's bullshit

Fucking Noobs

PS Welcome to Tacomaworld

 

Good to see this thread rolling again.

Filled up this morning with 59.1L for 460.5 km. 7.79 km/L, 12.83 L/100 or 623 L per tank. Not as good as last fall but was hauling alot of gear around.

 

Wow , that's good Half n Half

 

Well I just had a freak of a tank. Light came on at 677.8 km and I managed to get 9.42 L/100km. That's clearly my best tank. I'm averaging 10.7 L/100km at the moment. Most of my driving in a 2 lane highway which I drive at 90 km/h. There are a few small towns that I pass through on my way to work with stop lights and such and with a speed limit of 60 km/h.

I'm coming off a 2003 Ford Escape Limited which had a slow tranny leak for 2 years so I got used to feathering the pedal and keep the rpms down.

Things I do to try and get decent mileage:
- I stop filling my tank once the pump clicks
- Keep the tach under 2000 rpm
- Let off the gas going down steeper hills
- Maintain my speed going uphill but not afraid to lose some speed if no one is behind me
- I don't use my cruise (I probably will on longer flatish rides though)
- Accelerate somewhat slowly and smoothly

 

that must be a record well done.

 

thats insane. But I bet you filled it to the tits? I stop when the thing clicks the first time. Still insane for a 4L though

 

I stop on the first click as well.

 

Why

 

ya i usually try to squeeze another couple of litres in too.

 

It was one of the tips on the Fuelly site. I have no rationale for it but things seem to be working for me.

 

It's supposed to get you better mileage ?
