    Profuse appologies, mike, not mile, and “u” isn’t a word either. Congratulations must be in order for getting sub par mileage on your well endowed V6. Have a nice w.

    This is almost 21 mpg, 80% city driving. I can get it down to 9.5 L/100km (25mpg) on the highway easily.

    That's impressive. I got that kind of mileage with my previous four-cylinder truck, but only get 18–19 mpg (12–13 L/100km) with my current V-6.

    I drive like a grandma on the road. I race motorcycles, I get all my aggression out there. I couldn't afford the insurance if I got speeding in this. So it's all speed limit and driving sanely. I do still have some fun when it snows haha. If i drive anything slightly aggressively it'll end up around 16-17.

    I have 265/70/17 before I install intake, if I’m easy on gas I can get 21.5mpg, after intake is about 21. Then I I still Trd pro exhaust, it drop to 20.5 at best.
    With Trd mod I no longer have throttle responses problem and hunting gear problem.

    Manual Tranny, 265/76 ST Maxx Coopers. Live in a hilly mountain town in NC and I average from 13-16 MPGs. Depending on how much I granny the truck.

    Sucks but oh well. I know it wasnt a Prius when I bought it.

    For the life of me I can’t get the 22mpg EPA highway estimate. This is the first vehicle I have owned where I can’t at least meet or even exceed the EPA estimates. I’m totally stock, save for 265/65 Dueler Revo 3 tires on Sema TRD 17s, but even with stock 245/75/16s I still was lucky to get 19mpg at 65 MPH. I’m now at 15 MPG driving my usual 75MPH. Luckily if I need good MPG I have a 2019 M4 with 600 horsepower as my backup. I never thought I’d refer to that car as my fuel saver.

    Not as inaccurate as you think. Although, my typical is 21-24 in the summer.

    Just wait for the 2024 Tacoma and the possibility of the TTV6 from the 2023 Tundra since it'll all be built on the same chassis, so plug and play.
