2022 tundra gas mileage

That's a purdy truck!

 

I have a hair under 6k miles and stock I was getting 16.9mpg. With the level wheels and tires I’m getting 15.5 to 16.5 mpg. That’s 80 miles round trips almost daily with speeds of 55-70mph

 

Is this really a thing??? Has anyone else used this chip or other chips to actually attain better fuel economy?

A plug and play, Stage 3 chip, on sale for $90 promising ***5mpg better*** just sounds like a scam and too good to be true.

Have a 2015 Tundra TRD Pro with the 5.7, TRD CAI, TRD exhaust, 295/65r18 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, NO SC or other mods. Currently averaging 15.1mpg. Have a hard time believing this advertisement promising I can average 20mpg with some $90 chip.

Seeing other posts on the fourm about unichip, hypertech chip. I feel like if this were the silver bullet to better fuel economy it would be much more widely talked about...

 

I saw that and felt like it was a scam. I’d love to get 20 out of mine as well.

 

drive highway more and stay below 65 and that shouldn’t be a problem.

 

when work is paying for it, it’s a no brainer.

 

That’s exactly what it is. Some folks just don’t understand each area is different. You do 55 on our highway when it’s 70 and we’ll gladly assist you out of the way. I’ve been trying to stay under 70 and it seems to help some. 15-17 mpg is fine, wasn’t expected based on given numbers but oh well. Looks good and drives well. When I close my eyes it feels like I’m in a Corolla lol (only cooler).

 

When I do 70 mph towing my travel trailer, I am being passed by 18 wheelers and dudes towing 5th wheel toy haulers with HD diesels. Towing limits here in UT are the posted speed limit, which is 80 mph, and people make full use of that. I do 70 because it is close enough to the flow of traffic that I don't become a rolling road block and cause issues but am also not pushing the limits of my trailer tires.

And yeah, I have seen people almost get flattened by 18 wheelers because they were doing 55 mph. This one time I was coming across WY as a winter storm was blowing in and the truckers were bombing so they could get out before the highway was shut down. This guy was in one of those 1980's Toyota campers with 22R doing maybe 55 mph. The trucks came up on him so fast that when one would pull over to get around him, the truck behind him would have almost no time to react and so they were all swerving and slamming on their brakes. I'd be surprised if he made it all the way across without something happening.

Going to slow is just as dangerous as going to fast.

 

Read the rest of the post. I don't believe I said I cared I was being passed.

 

Did I mention you? I even said I do 10 under myself.

No, I responded to someone elses post who mentioned doing 55 in a 70.

 

I quoted his post

 

Me with some simple math.
I run the same paths mostly, go to half tank then fill.
It's noticeable and consistent.
The truck puter is not accurate as it averages history.
The chipset works as I've pulled it when not on long trips as it will drain the battery down.
Running the same amount of in town and Hwy, it's less.

 

Where I live yes and depending on how much under the posted speed illegal.

 

Crewmax SR5 with stock wheels/tires. Just did round trip drive (4.5hrs each way) from Denver, CO to Taos, NM this past weekend. Mostly 70-75mph driving with a moderate mountain pass in the middle. Averaged 22.1mpg. Been getting around 15mpg in the city with mostly very short drives. Can’t complain, so far.

 

I’ve had my limited 4x2 since first week in December. It’s never, ever gotten above 16.9. I’m a little disappointed, but I love the truck.

drive around in eco last week and it barely did any better.

 

Sorry to hear that, my 2015 4x4 averaged 17.9 on the highway yesterday 75mph Tennessee to ga trip.

 

Look, anyone is entitled to their opinion.
You throwing rocks at a statement with no experience in the matter is a little immature on you're part.
I do not make a habit of wasting my time on this site to lie, I have much better things to do.
With my rig and that chip set, it works well.
I use it when I have some miles to go but leaving it in for extended time periods without driving will drain the battery.
I have nothing to gain in sharing my experiences with an item that I have experience with.
What experience do you have?
Does it make you feel good to go on line and call someone a liar, yet you have no experience?
How about you contact the mfg. and ask for whatever amount of actual users experiences they have.
That would be more constructive than your comments.

 

22.4 mpg with 526 miles on the odometer.

 

Hey, so when are you going to boost that turbo? 600hp should be awesome fun

 

Just hit 2500 miles. I drive long distances on the highway for work on a very regular basis. I try to drive at 75mph on the interstate, sometimes find myself going 80. Have not been able to exceed 19MPG. Not as bad as others are saying, but definitely not as good as my Silverado was.

 

I was getting at best 16mpg; however, since the weather has warmed and now that I have 3500 miles behind me, my last highway trip was 22.4mpg at 65. In the city I am getting 18ish. Now, I am not using a heavy foot. Keep it in sport mode and its a different story.

 

Just hit 3K miles. Most recent tank was 19.9 (Limited Crew Max 4x4). Last tow tanks have been in the 19’s…previous in 18’s with same mixed city and highway driving. I’m guessing a summer blend and break in has been the reason for the increase. I’m happy with this…it’s the identical mileage I was getting on my 2007 Tacoma.

 

Yep. Engine break-in and summer gas are going to change the tune of this thread.

 

93 shell nitro. The difference is about 40 miles more range when i drive expressway mostly. Another thing i did notice. I had just done an oil change. Oil was very clean. I ran about 6 tanks of premium shell. Almost 2600 miles oil was still very clean not dark at all. Filled up with kroger fuel after that tank the oil was very dark . Other than that no issues

 

Just over 2k miles on my 4x4 Platinum, stock. I get around 20 on highway trips but overall average around 18 driving normally, eco mode.

 

Have 700 miles on my 1794 4x4 sb, did a 500 mile trip from new between 70-80mph, average was 17mpg, hope it gets better reading guys getting 20+.

 

Those guys were probably doing at most 65mph.

 

Ya I see lots of those type posts on an f350 forum I follow too, usually when they post the time, miles and mpg you see a lot of 55-60mph. I traded a 2019 plat 4x4 for this 22 and am pretty convinced apples to apples the 22 is better for the style driving I do based on I think same size fuel tank and miles driven on first couple tanks.

 

My 2nd tank I averaged 20.9 mpg driving posted speed limit from 35 to 70 mph, my daily commute to work I average from 34 to 44 mph.

 

I’m 3200 miles in and this last tank has seen a pretty dramatic improvement in mpg. Previous tank averages were in the 16 to 17 mpg range, this tank ave is now 18 to 19. Mixed driving, about 80% highway 70 to 75 mph. I’m seeing 20+ mpg in all highway runs now. No change in driving habits (not babying it but not flooring it everywhere either). 91 octane, 4x4 CM.
