Getting really good mileage. Why’s everybody complaining?

I drove 109 miles today, reset it when I left home. 50-70 mph the whole time and not a ton of long hills

 

Amen to that.

 

Where do you go to reset for each trip. I've thumbed thru the display while driving but haven't seen a MPG reset. ( P.S. I am at 16.1 MPG for total average with almost 25K on it). I think the computer is fudging the numbers, because I fill up ALOT.

 

I am getting 12.5 in the city I have 295/70/18’s and have the TRD dual exhaust with a K&N air filter, am I doing something wrong or is that a good MPG! I have 10000 miles on my Tundra!

 

You're taking this thread seriously.

Other than that, you're spot on.

When I compare the fuel mileage in my previous '06 Tacoma 4.0L to my smiles per gallon in the Tundra, I'm a happy man. And I loved that Tacoma.

 

Yes sir, you are doing something wrong. Running a K+N filter is a terrible idea.

Some reading to satisfy any of your curiosity.

Naw....that’s about normal in my Prius. Oh wait....I am on my Tundra forum? Then I call bullshit!...

 

Thanks I’ll throw the stock back in and check it!

 

I’ll just set these here

 

Yep, I really wish, sometimes, people would actually read the thread!

 

Figured out how to reset the MPG this morning. Duh. Never really had messed with it. Was at 16.1 for 25K miles. With a 50 mile, one way home from work, had 20.1. Gonna be interesting when I drive home Monday like usual. Not like driving Mrs. Daisy.

 

I think resetting your computer is cheating....you should get all your driving...bad and good habits...BTW I get 15.8 with a 40 mile commute to work...then I bought a work car 49mpg average.

 

I set it and forget it. Never reset. That way I get a reasonable idea of my overall mileage, which I hand calculate from time to time.

 

Well, it was at 16.1 for 25 thousand miles,

 

So I hand calculated the tank (535miles) and The average is 16mpg. I really nursed it though, even trying to keep it to 65mph on the freeway.
Really, not bad mileage but it’s hard to drive that slow with a beast under the throttle!

 

Most recent hand calculated mileage: 17.9 mpg. All highway miles. Kinda surprised me.

 

Pushing it doesn’t count!
