What's your mpg?

I've got a 2009 tacoma, 4x4 double cab Sb with 200k miles now, I drive mostly highway, at about 70%, I do have the front lifted with pro comp pro runners with 2.5" lift, on falken wildpeak at3, I average around 15 combined. Fuel injectors have been cleaned, new spark plugs, k&n intake, and I still only get 260 to a tank full. (18 gallon tank) I'm curious if there's anything else that could be done to it to get that mpg up a little to get it closer to sticker mpg. What is your millage and do you have any recommendations?

 

And here's a few pics of the rig

 

after lift

 

I'm at 55k Miles mostly city mpg I get 270 miles out of a tank but I'm at 13mpg on a 3" lift and 285s... and if you want better mpg get a car/beater

 

2014 DCSB, 3" lift front and back, 285/75R16 Goodyear MTRs, 70% city driving with alot of hills. 17.8 mpg average.

 

16-18 average. id say 65% highway at 70 mph.

 

Dang dude that's great

 

I'm a devout follower of the 2000rpm rule.

 

First, your tank per Toyota is 21.1 gallons. I have actually put 23 in mine (not recommended on a regular basis).
Currently, on an 85 degree June day, I get about 21.1 mpg on slightly hilly interstate at 2450 rpm 68mph with my 6 speed, OEM (245/75-16) size Michelin LTX MS2's. Around town about 18.5. Based on a odometer-corrected ScanGauge. Mine is a PreRunner Access Cab, not 4X4.

 

Haha nice, I've tried that but it has almost no difference on my truck. No idea why.

 

21 gallons huh? Hm I'm not too sure about that, I've ran it on literally E and filled 18 gallons tops and never any more

 

The capacity is listed in your manual.

As for mileage, I get between 14 and 16 mpg on a tank.

 

I get about 19-20 on average. Usually try to keep it under 2k rpms

 

I think empty light comes on when there's about 2-3 gallons left

 

If you don't have an owner's manual, search on here or google Tacoma tank capacity any year from 2005 to 2015.

 

If you get over it to quickly accelerate (say merging onto highway) just once it will ruin all of the babying the gas pedal to that point.

 

My best has been 23.2 mpg 100% highway @ 65-70 mph behind an eighteen wheeler (not too close). 21-22mpg without the drafting the truck.

I'm relatively slow to accelerate and don't do the gas, break, gas, break driving habits.

80k miles on the 2014 DCLB TRD Sport, 265 general AT2 @ 40psi. Kn filter, synthetic all around, tonnaeu cover. Gas quality has been a singnifocant variable, summer gas mileage is always better.

 

That looks like Hungry Valley OHV

 

i get 14 on a really good day with a tailwind. lots of armor, 3 in lift, only rolling 265/75s, but mud terrains. 12-14 mpg, city or highway, empty or loaded, it never changes.

 

06 TRD V6 Access cab short bed

Bed cover, 265/75/16 wrangler RTS tires, plate bumper, 2.25" lift, IFS skid and LCA skids, AFe pro dry air filter, aeroturbine 2525 straight through muffler.

My average on the highway is 60-70 mph depending on the grade and I watch my driving very closely with the scanguage. So far this tank im on now has been 90% highway driving and i got 270 miles on the trip at just a little more than 1/4 a tank left. I average around 20.8 according to my scangauge.
