MPG

I know these Tundras are pretty thirsty, but lets share some MPG readings and what you have done to improve yours. Mine says an average of 14.8, I have a tonneau cover and a drop in K&N air filter. Not the best but hoping for some help in improving MPGs, I love my truck but anything to improve it would be nice.

 

13 with a light foot. I have no idea how you guys are getting into the 14's. I have never seen 14.

 

I average 15.8 with a drop in k&n filter and a sabm from gtek

 

Average 16 stock tonneou cover

 

Ya, mine's not great. Just check my Fuelly badge in my sig, but then again I use it as a truck and haul stuff almost on the daily plus tow too so that drags down MPGs

 

I've kept track of my mileage since I purchased it new - all hand calculated. Check out fuelly badge below for details. I fount a light foot and staying under 60 mph helps. Last 10 fill ups averaged 17.3.

 

Driving multiple 1.5 mile trips to campus and home, having 100% of the opposite of a light foot. I'm happy to see double digits.

 

The BEST I've ever gotten is 14 though with mostly interstate /highway driving

 

2015 TRD all stock, My 1st tank was 12mpg, 2nd tank was 14.5, 3rd tank was 14.8, now working on the 4th. My calculations were by hand, not the displayed Avg mph. It always shows 1 mph higher than my real calculation.

 

2014 1794 Attitude Black - TRD intake and sway bar, SABM: 14.6 city, 17-19 highway at 68mph and 19-21 bellow 59 mph

 

I hand calculated mine out today. I almost got 11.5. 3/1 lift 20x9 wheels, 305/55/20 M/Ts. Mostly in town driving

 

probably around 4 gallons per mile.
what generation vette, C6?

 

Was around 16.5 but up to 17.8 now but I'm just starting to check it closely, I ditched the Atturo TrailBlade MT going to the Michelin LTX AT-2 and I think the combination of less weight and a lower rolling resistance did it. My drive is about 50 / 50 highway and twisty country roads with some city in there.

 

LS7 motors are my favorite. When I had my GTO it was a 6.0L V8 and using the instant MPG, when I would hammer it it would literally tell me 3-4mpg.

 

I've always wanted one of those 6.0L goats.. they sound so sweet with exhaust and a cam

 

I had it up to 15.1 but recently I've fallen to a 14.6.. Starting to get on it every now and then, but about 50/50 hw and city driving.. I go a couple miles through town to the gym so on a 45mph zone so that takes it down a little

 

I had a calculated 18.4 on the drive to Venice Louisiana yesterday. Mostly 55-65 mph with little turns or elevations changes three people in the truck and not a lot of stops.

 

It was hands down my favorite vehicle, you can't argue with a stock 400hp/400tq. I could easily pull 16mpg too. Keep my foot out and stay shifting under 2k. It had such good low range I would drive 2/4/6 shift pattern. I have a buddy building his for twin turbos and before his cam he dynoed at 505hp/495tq to the wheels.

 

Yeah, that's a hell of a car.. May get one as a little project if I can stop spending on the tundra lol

 

Anything LS motor is great,lol! My aunt has a 2011 SS auto. She let me drive it once and even for an automatic it was super nice, lol.

 

If I ever do a muscle car again I'm getting another GTO or a trans am. my GTO was an 05 and I sold it with only 40k miles so I babied it way too much. I got lucky though and sold it for way more than I paid for it

 

My trans Am gets 21 mpg on the highway its a 5.7 LS1. You guys have to understand when you compare your trucks that elevation has alot to do with MPG aswell as temperature. So dont assume a stock truck on the east coast and in the Rockies will be the same with the same driver.
