    Everybody I talked to says mine is getting far higher than average. I have also hand-calculated the average mileage and get similar numbers.

    My truck is a 2020 DCSB TRD OR with a little under 4,000 miles. I consistently get average MPG between 25-28mpg (both the truck display, and hand calculated). I am easy on the throttle and use adaptive cruise control most of the time, but do have fun on two tracks in the national forest from time to time. Live in West Michigan, so the terrain is moderately hilly.

    So, what are you guys getting g on average?

    I've been averaging around 22 mpg according to the truck. Never calculated it by hand. 50/50 mix of highway and stop and go traffic.

    19-22 but I'm on 265/75r16s now so those numbers are probably slightly off. Drove up to Portland on Monday (just shy of a 300 mile trip) and managed 23 with the wind blowing into me a good portion of the trip

    I get about 16-18 lately on my tuned 6MT with unleaded ethanol free premium 93 octane. But it has been a lot of fun! I'm 8,000 miles in. I can get about 20-21 per tank if I don't have fun and rip through gears on ethanol blend 87 octane fuel. My work commute is 8 miles with stop signs and stop and go so not the best efficiency environment.

    23-24 easy peasy during the summer in mixed driving when I'm not towing. Hand calculated. Can get better on flat runs. No mods; I usually drive like a grandma.

    I was going to wait a bit before I posted about mileage I am getting on the 2020 OR, but since this has been posted here goes.

    I bought my truck Nov 29. 2019, I have just under 9000miles on it with one big trip from YYC to ANC. I generally do city driving with weekend trips on the highway. I have 32” tires. I was getting consistently 280 miles on a tank when I first got it. This made my big trip a pain. About 2.5 months ago, I got 5.29 gears installed with a heavy C4 full bumper on the front. I was getting consistently 300 miles on a tank city driving. 350 miles on the highway. All of this was being done using regular fuel. Now I am on my first tank of mid grade fuel, so take this with a grain of salt. I am currently looking to be shooting for a 375 miles on a tank in the city. I keep waiting for the fuel gauge to drop quickly. I have never gotten to 188 miles on half a tank, which is where I am at today. This is new territory for the truck. I will be running this tank as low as I can. So far in the 8 and a bit months I have owned this truck, my fuel gauge has never been wrong. I always reset my trip meter every time I fill up. I believe if you are getting consistent mileage your vehicle is running well. So I alway watch and rest my trip meter. It is an easy and pretty mindless way to track my mileage.

    gas is cheap who cares about MPGs anymore, under $2 a gallon until they stop drilling for oil in our country

    2500 miles here. I went from 21-22 mostly highway to 17-18 w/ 255/80/17's. It's probably time for me to start looking into gearing.

    Just curious, does the OR radio face also show the average like SR5 models? I'd be curious to see what that average shows on your truck, OP. I can get that average reading in the middle to show upwards of 27 on the regular, but the running average is always around 19/20. Thanks!

    2020 DCSB, 6 speed MT, 4,200 miles. Stock except for lomax cover and some mud flaps. I'm averaging 20.5 around home 30 mile commute, mostly hilly terrain. Averaged 21.5 on the wayto the OBX in Late June (850 miles round trip), had 5 people and bed 3/4 of vacation gear....So far I'm pleased, my 2017 Tundra Trd Pro averaged around 16.8 daily commute, and just under 21 for the beach trips...

    I was staying in the 18-19 range until we decided we weren't going to keep our boat in the slip any more, now it's miserable as you can see in my sig.

    During my commute to work I get 0 mpg since I now work from home.
    ironic price of gas is down and no where to go!

    I do average about 23-24 but I only have 2k on my truck
