Poll - New 2022 Tundra Owners Please Post Comments on Real World Mileage

it has seemed to get better as it’s broken in and getting warmer.[/QUOTE]

I’d agree…2,500 miles in and warmer weather. Just had my first 19+ mpg tank. All prior tanks were between 18.3 and 18.8.

This gives me hope I get 14 mixed driving if I’m lucky

 

12mpg average with 110 miles on the truck. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.. not even accelerating hard.

 

On a 22?

 

Hi @Vin63 this thread is for the Gen 3 Tundra.

However I recommend you go to the meter display on the center console of your Gen 2.5 and select Total Average. The trip average number I find pretty useless especially for short runs.

Also see this thread for tips on how to get 18-20 mpg with the V8.

Just did a 500 mile trip 75-80 mph averaged 17 mpg. 1794 4x4 short box.

 

yeah I have a 22 tundra. Never updated my account. Thanks for the tip, I’ll check if I was on total average

 

well.. what am i doing wrong hah...

 

Third tank got 16.4 on the computer, 16.8 manually calculated. I’m curious to see how much better I can get without using remote start now that it’s warming up into the 60’s/70’s.

 

Here are my results from a recent road trip driving on a mix of highways, arterials, local roads, and over smaller mountain passes. I was cautious not to accelerate hard or harshly brake during the trip. I also wouldn't have gone faster than 60mph during the trip.

 

22 limited 4x4 CM SB. just broke 2000 miles and it seems to be getting better. i drove back home to NC from Ohio when i bought it new and averaged 18.5 running 80 MPH most of the way. Just drove another 200 miles to Myrtle beach, SC and i was averaging 20-21. if i keep it around 60MPH it will get 22-23 on the highway. 75 mph and up is around 20.

 

I am glad this thread exists. I am not sure what's going on, but I am only managing 16.7 - 16.9 mpg in my first week of commuting. I drive 25 miles each way to work (20 miles of it highway). Cruise Control set to 80 MPH. In ECO mode with stock tires. I have a 2022 1794 with 6.5 foot bed.

 

80 seems pretty fast to expect any better mileage than that from a pickup truck. It's about as aero as a brick.

 

TBH that is not very good mileage. At an average of 45mph, my 2020 gets that if I am easy on it and driving like a grandpa.

 

The answer to that is 100 percent NO

 

Platinum model here.

OEM wheels and tires:
Average = 18/19 MPG
Highway = 21 MPG

OEM wheels, with 285/60/20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT tires (present setup):
Average = 15 MPG
Highway = unchecked yet

-99

 

When I first bought it I was averaging around 16-17 mixed. I’m at 3000 miles now and it has gotten better. Averaging 18-19 now. Stock limited 5.5. We’ll see if it continues.

a lot of people need to Realize that using remote start and the slightest bad driving habits can make it a huge difference. At the end of the day the EPA is full of $hit either way

 

Maybe down a hill with wind at your back lol

 

this car and driver article goes deep into details on the EPA testing. They’ve been giving false numbers forever. Not sure of the accuracy of this article but just thought I’d share.

https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15388892/the-truth-about-epa-city-highway-mpg-estimates/

“While the public mistakenly presumes that this federal agency is hard at work conducting complicated tests on every new model of truck, van, car, and SUV, in reality, just 18 of the EPA’s 17,000 employees work in the automobile-testing department in Ann Arbor, Michigan, examining 200 to 250 vehicles a year, or roughly 15 percent of new models. As to that other 85 percent, the EPA takes automakers at their word—without any testing—accepting submitted results as accurate”

 

I think it's misleading to say they've been giving "false numbers forever", if you read the studies on the EPA, their testing and selection procedures are the same as any standardized industry testing. Manufactures can submit results, and the EPA selects vehicles at random to test.

It's an honor system with some pretty hefty consequences if they cheat, and thankfully there's a history of action for when they do (not to say it isn't happening, but the numbers aren't so far off that it's a clear problem)

All that said, could the EPA do more? Heck yes. Should they have the facilities to do more testing and more modern testing? also yes.

 

you “think”? It’s not misleading at all. Did you read the article? Or did you just decided to share your opinion instead? Lol they’ve been trying to do a better job of imitating real world driving on their dyno for decades. The EPA admits that and they’re spending another 10 million to implement two new tests to help imitate real world driving. Not saying their readings are complete garbage. But they’ve been caught being inaccurate plenty of times.

 

I mean, I did read it and I suspect you actually didn't because it clearly says the EPA is outsourcing those tests instead of investing $10m hence my comment saying they need more modern testing facilities.

But let's not fight here, it's not worth it

All I want is a standardized test that can be off or perfect as long as it's consistent!

 

Don't you wish LOL
45mph is SLOW.
Sure at 75/85 I get about 15, but 45? It is easy to get 20-21mpg

 

Lol yea my mistake. Don’t say it’s misleading and then say “let’s not fight here” lmao it’s been going on for decades and studies show it. On top of that, the poll here shows clearly that the EPA numbers listed on the tundra are a hit or miss. Anyway... To each their own I guess. Take care!

 

Yea just busting chops. Coming from a 2020 SR5 with 33 inch all terrains I never saw anything starting with a 2 haha. Im sure it would’ve done much better with some premium all seasons!

 

Ohhh yeah absolutely! Mine is as stock as stock can get(I added a transmission cooler) and 2wd with a campershell. I do wish I had 4wd, but I am holding out for a tacoma prime/electric now. After having this rav4 prime.. I am sold on it. I drive further than my wife, so I drive the rav4 prime daily now. Man it is fun to drive! Instant torque and I haven't bought gas since January. About 3500 miles on 1/4 of a tank of gas. I have solar so it costs nothing to charge. If they make a toyota tacoma prime.. I would buy it in a heart beat.

 

I have not reset my computer for the last 5000 miles. I’m at 20.3.

mixed driving, hwy, city, occasional stomp in sport.

 

Drove up to Canada yesterday crossing at Lewiston Bridge. Started with full tank of gas.

First stop for bathroom break, no filling up.


Second stop.


Did 325.4 miles to get to the border. Filled up at second stop, 15.215 gallons right before crossing cause Ontario gas prices is expensive.

21~ mpg. All highway, mostly doing 70-75 mph.

 

Yup, prices are around $2.00/ litre here! Almost $8 / gal. Enjoy your time here!

 

18.8 mpg hand calculated for my first fill-up with 450 miles on the truck. Completely stock 2022 TRD Pro. 60/40 city/highway mix, average speed 50 miles per hour.
