    Ive owned the truck since it had 2K on the clock, about a year and 9 months, and I use the "Mileage Keeper" app which I've accounted for every fill up, my 19 gets exactly 20.7 with my...ehh...60/40 hwy/city driving.

    Mine is 385 every time I fill up and it'll slowly go up to about 400-420 to the tank depending on how I drive and taking miles driven into account :notsure:

    I average around 16-17MPG driving through the city (2019 Pro, 13k miles). When I get out onto the highways, that number goes up. Interestingly, I’m averaging around 20-21MPG on longer trips up into the North and Central Cascades (~200mi roundtrip, significant elevation gain), which I’m satisfied with (usually fully loaded with a few hundred pounds of gear + the girlfriend and dog). I tend to hug the slow lane and I’m rarely quick off the red light.

    i get around 18 mpg in the city with lots of wide open throttle and i can get up to 28 mpg cruising on 45 mph backroads. I can probably get even better on a flat highway. 2020 2wd auto. stock tires.

    Mine has been averaging 24-25 over it's 2500 miles using math to calculate. On board gauge has started to estimate the same. When new it was off by 3mpg.

    None as of yet, Looking to put OEM flaps and Smittybilt A1M2 running boards, may have to upgrade rear speakers after purchase found that when faded to rear the speakers are basically non-existing, went to dealer check 3 different trucks SAME opened a case with Toyota Corporate I suggest you do the same may get a recall if enough people complain because the rear speakers are a joke and they advertise no matter what model 6 speaker audio system or more (8)..
    OK, I'm glad I ran across this post, so I'm still on the 1st tank of gas from the dealer ( Which is a FULL tank ) on my Brand new 2020 TRD OR completely stock, and the mileage average is 12.3 ! I have not done a whole lot of highway driving but 12.3 is absolutely shocking not sure how accurate that is but I am going to have to look into this.

    Right if you care about gas mileage don't buy a truck. I get 14 in mine and could give two shits if I got 10, as it's lifted and stacked.

    Hi James. It will get a little better,but don't expect a miracle. If you're serious about monitoring mpg, use a free app that tracks mileage and fuel purchased. FillUp works for me. Free and easy. Don't even bother with the onboard calculator if you're seeking accuracy. I'm looking back at my logs, and I started in the 11s when I bought the truck and ran it stock. 6 months later I'm just shy of 14. Keep in mind I've added 285s with an auto, a bumper and winch, and sliders. 80% city driving. Also burning garbage CA gas with MTBE and other additives. I'm guessing without the weight and stock tires I'd probably be in the 17s. This is the first vehicle I've owned that I was able to witness an actual improvement in MPG after break in. Hang in there..

    Average 20.5 or so per tank (a little more than 20). ~60% highway.
    2020 V6/Auto 4X4 with 6K miles on the clock.
    I calculate MPG when I fill up the tank. Just a habit of mine.
    I'm a little heavy on the gas peddle.

    Right around 22 average per tank This is normal commute of 6 miles each way and a long highway runs at 70-75. 2018 trd off-road 4x4 with the stock trifold tonneau cover and about 38k on it. I usually run with the adaptive cruise control on.
    If I could stay out of city traffic and slow down to 55 or less I would get 24-25. Speed above 75 is a huge exponential loss in mileage. wind direction can also have a profound effect positively and negatively on highway trips.
