    take the 8" lift off. About it. Start putting a lift, heavier wheels, more aggressive tires to match and your mpg tanks. You can regear and that might bring back a couple.

    You can't run huge lifts, bigger tires, etc and expect better gas mileage. You want the best mileage possible with a Tundra? Keep it stock and drive sensibly. This is my screen recently and my hand calculations are right on with a 1mpg difference periodically.

    Good for you! I'm in a bone stock 2019 TRD Pro and I don't see anywhere near that. I'm typically averaging 14.5 to 15 a tank. Are you driving downhill most of the time?

    Nope. I drive a straight HWY from my house to work five days a week. 540 miles total (108 daily round trip). I drive the speed limit (which changes at different times during the trip between 60 and 70mph) and use cruise control. I never take off above 1500 rpm and that is it.

    A certain DC dude said to use proper air pressure. Should gain 10 miles per gal.

    Hold the Line! If you are not holding the line, abandon your ship. Destruction is inevitable without more to hold the line!
    This poll makes no sense.

    With the pedal commander. I drive it like I stole it every time. Screw the MPG, I didn’t buy a Prius.

    All last year, my tank average was round 17 mpg. During the winter it dipped to 16, but now that it's warmer out I'm back up to just over 17. I've had a few trips on the highway where she's averaged over 20 mpg. These trucks get very reasonable gas mileage when you take everything into consideration. You just have to be a conservative driver.
