    Are you resetting yours every day? I've never reset mine so I can see how it does overall. It's been a very slow climb to 12.9.

    P.S. I have not been complaining though.

    I get that every time I come home from my folks house, but it's pretty much 48 miles down hill. Then it goes back to 14 - 16.

    Actually, @Grumpy Uncle hit pretty close to the mark.
    Just for kicks, I did a reset at the top of the hill and coasted about 12 miles in neutral. BTW it maxed out at 30 mpg.

    If you did it on the tow truck without the wheels turning it would be the same when you unload as when you load.

    The nicest thing showing in the picture, no one has knowledge about: 366 miles and barely 1/2 a tank! I love the 46gal transfer flow tank!

    This means, either you ran up over a tank of gas lying on the ground somewhere and got high-centered-- or you don't get to drive that awesome Tundra very much. :boink:

    I do know it's Real Winter where you live. Just playin'.

    You wouldn’t believe me if I told you how long it took to find a Tundra on a tow truck Matt. Seriously, this image is like riding a Unicorn to the moon.

    Funny how we all look at this differently. I’m fed up with “dry heat” & no seasons. We can’t wait to get settled in and relax in Oregon. We really get sick of the constant sunshine, believe it or not.
    You and I will get together once we’re there!

    Try hand calculating the mileage. Sorry but there is NO WAY you are getting that. I was lucky to crack 18.5 within the first 20 miles of a new tank and that was right on the highway. It eventually dropped to its normal 15 mpg mark.

    Hmmm. My 2016 4.6 maxed out at 30mpg over 26 miles after a reset at the top of Pike's Peak.

    Something wrong with your truck.

    We all get that with our Tundra trucks......right?

    I kid. You’re right at the normal spot for fuel economy.

    That’s funny.

    Hell, I was looking for any color at that point yesterday, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gen.

    How’s the weather looking for today in the 80908?:D

    I was gaming the system. I did not change my trip, only the miles per gallon at the top of the mountain where my folks live. It is 48.5 miles door to door. They live at 10106 ft agl. it is all down hill for the most part. On the way there because it is all up hill I get about 13.7 - 14.2 mpg.
    Now like I said once I am back home and driving normal I am usually 14 -16 mpg.
