Fuel mileage

So.o.o.o.o.... Filled up my barand new Tundra with big engine and big gas tank with 1/4 tank remaining. Put my 1st 500 miles on in order to begin towing next week. Almost all the driving was hiway driving, except for maybe 20 or 30 miles. Had 515 miles on the truck and put in 24.8 gallons. Didn't top off the tank when the fuel pump stopped. Is this truck special or what? Dealer told me that 85 octane is just fine even though the owner's manual says to put nothing less than 87. He told me owner's manuals are "generic". $2.05/gl at Costco.... wow

 

Don't believe what the dealers salesman tells you. They make up answers they know nothing about.

 

The best my 14 Platinum 2wd Crewmax ever displayed was 15.3 but it had 4.30's in the rear. Ran like a scalded dog with a shotgun blast to his a$$

 

I just got 20.4 on the my trip to Downey from Twentynine Palms... Light foot is the key

 

Agree, light foot is key.

Checked round trip from NC to VA and back with less than 1000 miles on the Tundra:

480 miles
23.25 gallons of 87 octane gas
40PSI in all four tires
20.6MPG

 

Can I use that " Ran like a scalded dog with a shotgun blast " quote? Not necessarily here... I did get 14.9 last weekend.
