Gas mileage

On a road trip from Rapid City SD, to Port Aransas TX while driving through OK doing 65 ish the whole way. Love everything about this truck so far.

 

Awesome man

same here 64 is the sweet spot for me to and from work

 

Congrats, I’ve only been able to get 18.2 so far. I use Normal mode.

Do you get better mileage when using cruise control?

 

It seems that way yes. I typically use normal, but that's for in town driving, when in on the road I swap to ECO.

 

I noticed a few things, better fuel milage in Normal or Comfort, better milage under cruise control, keep it under 60 and reaching 28ish is achievable on the flats . Above 70 it drops but not by much
My worse milage is when I drive off cruise

 

I got 5.7, don’t give a monkeys about fuel mileage

 

Must be nice not to worry about gas mileage.

 

it is

 

LMBO. I haven’t figured mine out. New 1794 and can’t get out of the 16.5 mpg but I am okay with it because I love this truck

 

Is it cold where you are at? @Tmymac

 

I am in Atlanta area. We have had a few cold snaps. Got my truck November. Mixed highway and local roads. Maybe it’s just my right foot.

 

Could be your right foot. Enjoy.

 

LOL could be. Just happy it runs on regular fuel and not premium

 

I was getting average of 8mpg on my 5.7 with 35's and 3 inch lift lol before I sold it. I really dont give a S*** about mpg either

 

I get 15, but it's either 35mph stop and go or 75-85mph so I'm sure if I slowed down to 60-65 I'd get better.

 

I recently saw 26 on the screen for a 30 mile Sunday drive in the country at constant 50 mph. So if you baby it and the turbos lie idle it can happen.

Wind seems to really impact the mpg somewhat more than other trucks I have had. My last couple interstate round trips to my work site have been in stiff winds and there was a 2-3 mpg hit

 

It's a moving brick so I expected wind resistance to make a bigger impact on fuel economy. I live in areas with 75-80mph interstate speeds and people usually do 5-10 over.

 

Bottom line is I traded my 2021 TRD SPORT Tacoma for my Tundra. The Tundra is a tad under mpg than Tacoma but when I hop in the Tundra and fire it up I grin from ear to ear.

 

My Tacoma that I had was better fuel mileage on interstate. But, Tundra is better in town.

So it works out about even. Maybe just little better with Tundra.

 

Riding on stock 20s here and getting anywhere between 14-16 most days mixed driving. Far from the 18/24 advertised but still better than 12mpg I'd get from last gen.

 

some good fishing out on Port A!! My all time favorite spot !!

 

I'm getting 13.2 MPG rolling on 37s and 400+ lbs of stuff on the truck bed.

 

I'm running my tank empty to see what how much fuel I have left once it reaches 0 miles to empty. Both times I have put in about 27 gallons. So in theory I have 5 gallons of fuel left when the Low Fuel light comes on (roughly 75 miles to be safe). Has anyone else found this to be true? I have a 2023 I-Force Max Unlimited w 6.5 bed.

 

My 2022 better than 2019 but…. Just did a 5000mile road trip over 3 weeks, mostly 65-80mph…. Average was 17.3mpg. 2 adults 200lbs gear.

 

Its probably the 80 MPH thats driving you down. I can easily get over 25 if I keep it around 60, however I am running a hybrid, plus accelerating a little calmer than I did with the 5.7 fuel pig. I fully understand on certain hiways its easier to say F'k it and drive fast and go with the flow .....and so be it, end of that tank of fuel it probably cost ya $10.

 

I love the whistle of dem twin turbos too much. I git 12.5 smiles to the gallon.

 

Atlanta driving... Its your environment! What a racetrack driving there.

 

Part of the reason I am here. Brought my 8 weight fly rod with me. Hooked in to a few redfish and speckled trout.

 

Same the lack of insulation sometimes makes up for the turbo spool when you climb a hill in low rpm high load mine sits happy around 1500 rpm over the hill and once I let off the recirc system does its thing just a bunch of air going places but it's so cool lol.
