What's your MPG?

So used to being here that I always forget about that. That or my imaginary VTEC is doing its job.

 

I usually get better mileage on Co vacations, but very little interstate driving, and am not in a hurry on 2-lane highways. MPG in the 21-23 range.

 

The OP has a 4x4 double cab (as do I), so it is very normal for a Prerunner (4x2) to have higher MPG numbers as they are much lighter in addition to an AC's smaller body.

 

Well, the 4.88s were a solution for increased throttle response and for maintaining speed on hilly roads, as well as enhancing the lil taco's off road ability. I might POSSIBLY go to a 255/85 but more than likely will do 235/85. For my uses, I don't really need the clearance and appreciate the lower center of gravity. Gear wise, if I were looking at 35-ish tall tires, I'd do 4.88s at a minimum and it wouldn't take too much to talk me into 5.29s.

 

18.6 mpg highway with 3" lift, 255/85 tires, and rock sliders

 

I wonder what the weight diff is between a prerunner and a 4x4 access cab

 

DCSB 4x4 with 265/75/16

 

I get 16mpg with 37s if I run 65 instead of 70/75 I can get it up to 17

 

with 35s and a 4 in lift, towing 11000 lbs, I get 14 MPG in my 95 F350 turbo Diesel CCLB 4x4

Oh, my stock 09 CCLB 4x4 taco gets about 20 MPG empty

 

Most likely would not be cost effective. see math below assuming 15 mpg mix & 17 mpg straight gas. Would need to go from 15mpg to 20mpg to break even.

Mix Straight
Gallons 10 10
mpg 15 17
Total Miles 150 170

Cost/Gal 2.49 3.30
Total Fuel 24.90 33.00

cost/mile .167 .194

I recently purchased a 2009 DCSB 4x4 Sport. Just calculated my first tank and got 18.5mpg. It's stock with 265/70/17 BFG KO2's.

 

Hmm so it looks like for a 2013 v6 access can prerunner compared to a 4x4 access cab automatic it's only 265lbs diff

so now if I'm getting high 18's low 20's I would probably need to get 23/24 with the real gas to make it worth it ? That'd be crazy a 4x4 4100lb truck getting 24mpg (what prerunners get)

 

20 in summer during commute. Mostly IH and 65-75 except in congested areas. 265/75/16 10 ply ST Maxxs with slight front end lift. I got about 20.5 with BFG ATs in D load range 265/70/16

 

Yeah exactly. Pretty tough financially speaking to boast your MPG by 20% ( when the cost of pure gas is substantially more expensive) when eE10 is 90% gas and 10% ethanol. At the end of the you are only getting 10% more gas per gallon on a pure gas standpoint.

 

2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4. Only mods is a 3 inch toytec boss lift, Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires (275/55/R20) with fuel rims, NFab nerf bars, and a BakFlip cover. I average 17.5-18.5 mpg and get about 305 miles before my gas light comes on.

 

After putting on new tires this past April, I've been averaging between 16-18 MPG. Oddly enough, I averaged nearly 21 MPG on a tank when I was driving through Colorado last month. Maybe the altitude?

I have a 2011 double cab short bed TRD Sport 4x4 with the following: OME 887 coil springs, Bilstein 5100s (front/rear), Light Racing UCAs, Wheeler's HD 1.5" AAL, 18x9 Pro Comp series 7032, Toyo Open Country A/T II (LT285/65R18).

 

13ish... 2006 Manual 6 speed 4x4 with 270/75/r18 wheels. K&N Cold air intake, Dynaflo exhaust, and 52" lightbar.

 

4x4 DCSB 6 speed, 19.3mpg (measured with scan gauge) average right now with 255/85r16's, but I do almost 100% highway. Stop and go driving is considerably more horrible lol.
