What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

You got a real purdy mouth

 

I get 16–17 mpgs on 31s

 

That's a Purdy mouth

 

Starting to hear banjos...

 

Yeah I never understand how people claim to get 20+ mpgs on 33's and such..

Thats more than the truck was rated from the dealer on 31's...

Calculations must be off.

I never got better than 17 mpg on stock everything the first year I had the truck driving like a granny but doing the speed limit.. Now I have 32's armor and a lift and I still get 16 average..

 

Most I got was 22 MPG, with no armor, just skids and a afe intake. Wish I had kept that intake to compare now. But halfway on a trail I opened my hood I had mud too close to the filter so it had to go.

 

I got 19-20 on normal hwy on 31s

Did 23 once doing mostly 45-55 stuff in Yellowstone

 

I know someone with 33's and 18 mpgs, he has better driving habits thenme I guess

 

Considering I got 227 out of 5/8 of a tank? I don't think my calculations are off...

227 divided by 5 equals 45.4

45.4 multiplied by 8 equals 363

363 divided by 17 is 21.36

Now I know something isn't 100% correct but when you add in larger tires as well I'd say I at least got 19mpgs...

 

where i live is completely flat at sea level or below in a lot of parts i think that is why i get killer mpg

 

I used 12 gallons of gas to fill my truck up after driving that 227 miles starting with a full tank.

Technically is was 12.** gallons(Some random number)

 

i get 20mpg

 

i get 20+ around town and about 28 on the interstate if i keep it at 65 2.7 with manual everything ftw!

 

I really need an ultra gauge so I have better proof! Haha

 

Yeah you just need to Fill up full but don't top off, reset trip, drive, fill up until the pump clicks off and don't top off. Then divide miles driven by gallons used. I get 16 on 265s so stop your bitching haha.

 

That is exactly what I did, filled it up until it clicked, drove 227 miles, then filled up again and put in a little over 12 gallons.

 

Haha more or less proof so people can't say my calculations are terribly off! I know there is slight error because it involves so many sensors, but I know I got at least 19mpg! Haha

 

Hah calculate larger tires... Plus it was slightly over 12 gallons, wish I had the receipt.... Haha

 

Haha I know. I honestly think I somehow got better has mileage because I had my stock wheels and tires in the back of my truck the whole way? maybe something with downforce/aerodynamics... I only got a little over 17 mpg on the way back with an empty bed, but that was also with me aggressively driving 75mph coming back instead of granny driving 65mph like I did on the way home.

 

Haha it took me 8.5 hours to go home at 65, and like 7.8 hours at 75. I'll probably try 80 next time. I want to see if I can get home in just over 7 hours... Haha
