    I am sure it would be better if we had 100% real gas. Instead of this crap we have in Cailf.

    Overall I average 20-21 with the tires I have now. (Auto transmission) When I first got the truck I was getting 22 easily. Which was way better than the 2011 6 speed I use to have. I didnt get much over 17-18 with that tacoma.

    14-19 265/75/16 KO2 LT load E 10 ply. Seems low, but this truck has always seemed like it gets crappy mpg (regardless of tires), think its just the individual truck, so many others getting better mpg. Bums me out a bit, but fortunately I dont commute, and I still love my truck. My dog doesnt seem to mind, the truck gets him to the beach and back!

    I did about 90 miles today and got around 17 mpg. Before I hit the interstate I mashed the gas a lot to see if I could chirp the tires (I could) and I was gunning it going up some mountain passes to see how she climbs (I was easily able to get to 85 mph on a steep inclide at 8,000 ft).
    Hopefully going 75 and feathering the throttle can get me near 20 mpg. My gen 1 got around 19 mph on the highway going 75 at 2850 RPM or so in fifth gear.

    I was easily getting 22 before I changed things on my truck. 1 more mpg isnt magic. More of your infinite wisdom please.
