    My mileage had dropped by 2-3 mpg once it started getting cold, and perhaps winter fuel swap?

    Still rolling stock baby....
    Stock SR5 TRD off road 4x4 CM, stock 18in tires and wheels.

    16mpg, highway, in town, combination, does not matter, fast, slow, easy on the take off, mash the skinny pedal and listen to the TRD duel exhaust talk take off, 16mpg......

    Eh it is what it is, if I want better mileage I will get a Avalon.

    We don't buy Tundras due to the gas mileage....

    If you buy ANY truck and put bigger tires on it and are concerned about fuel economy, you're going to have a bad time.

    So the 38 gallon tank is an option on 16-17 Tundras? I thought this was standard.
