Gas mileage

[B.C.]

I averaged 14 to 15 when I had my Ram with the Hemi.

I get 16.9 mixed driving city/hwy.

By the computer, I'm getting 15.2/ gal. Im also running 33s on 18 " wheels, so that's not helping any. I am switching to 4.88 gears, so that should really help. According to most people who changed out for 4.88s, they gained about 4-5mpg. I'll tell ya what I get when I get em installed.

It's something unusual and completely new for me. Not only that I haven't experienced something like this, but I also haven't heard of something like this. I think is something strictly related to your car. When I was searching for an RV one of the main point was the gas mileage and it was a very important point. As a reference, I used this site: https://crowoutdoors.com/best-gas-mileage-class-c-rvs/ but, I am sure there are plenty from where you can get inspired. Maybe you'll find something good for you that may solve your mystery.

My 2020 access cab v6 auto is all bone stock...been getting 22.1- 22.3 mpg with an average of mixed city/highway driving. This is in temps around 40f, and up. When it gets really cold here in winter my mpg dip to around 19.4- 20 mpg. This is doing the actual math.

Just about what my '18 does!

 

[WooD]

Pardon my dust.

Yea tacos don't seem to like the cold for mpg

We average 18.0-18.5 mpg pretty consistently around town. When we get on the freeway, it drops to around 16 or so cuz the speed limit is 75-80 mph.

Well my 4.7 tundra liked winter even less. I was lucky to see 10 mpg during cold weather.

[Jersey Black Beauty]

Do I have the only Taco that gets good mpg?.or is it grandpa mode

 

[TacomaLance]

I've been getting 24 to 26 since I bought it a year ago. I'm very pleased with that. V6, 4WD, auto trans. And I compare with on board computer and old school manual style. Almost the same.

I had dual flowmaster cats with their dual exhaust system, plus a K&N air filter on my 4,7 tundra. It made more hp up top, but i never saw better than 16 mpg on the highway. Truck was addicted to gasoline, especially in town. Seeing that gas prices would be going way up, I finally broke down, and hurried up to get my 2020 tacoma just before the pandemic took hold. This tacoma has been a miser compared to that tundra.

Depends whats called good. My tacoma does ok, but i wouldn't say its anywhere as good as our prius

I took a trip Saturday. Running 65 with the window down I got 24mpg.

Driving back and forth to work, 17 to 18mpg.

If I wanted more I would have kept my Honda Fit.

Went to boston yesterday at 65 to 70 mph, I got 18.4 to 20.5.
It was 47° out. 5th gear in s mode no cruise control its seems to downshift way to much . its weird.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of cruise unless I'm on flat or mild grade. Cruise likes to drop a gear way too often on hills.

 

[Cape taco]

Its annoying as all get out! And in the ECT mode i find it downshifts less on highway. Im planning on getting the Sprint Booster hopefully that will make even more of a difference. My boss has an '17 Z-71 GMC with the 8 speed and it hunts for a happy gear all the time. I hate driving it.
