    3” lift, black step bars, aftermarket wheels, LT305/55R20 was this way when I brought it.
    a few weeks ago someone asked about people gas mileage(I know it should not make a difference, but I wonder what the different is based on flex engine trucks) and what grade of gas. Also leveling kit and tires.

    As I understand it...fuel mileage shouldn't be impacted by higher octain fuels, because the computer adjusts for everything and reverses the good affects of the premium fuel. For what it's worth, mine is a non flex fuel truck with 5.7 and I get about 15 mpg avg.

    Flex fuel 2017 stock everything. Average about 14-14.5. 50/50 city and highway. I tend to go 80 on the highway so that kills it. I can get 16-18 on the highway keeping it at 70 though

    I have been using the Fuelly app my last fill up it shows 14.1 mpg starting to average out, most the time I drive with a light foot. Had to past and then a truck came out of no where- love the power, it does react when you need it.

    I have a 4.6 2wd and I went to pump gas, reset the fuel economy and straight highway for about 45 minutes to the airport and back Gave me this.
    I don’t have a lift on my truck but I do have ko2s 20s on.

    Oh I only pumped like $15 that day because I was in a hurry to get it the airport.

    Average I get about 15-16 though because I work from home and everything is local generally.

    I am steady at 14.5 during the winter (warm ups and winter blend). I can edge near 16 or 16.5 with my level lift and 33s as long as I stay off the freeway. Our gearing HATES anything over about 70, which is something I regularly exceed on the interstate.

    Take that with a grain of salt. Although I didn't buy my truck for mileage, it can be a bit of a pain and embarrassment when my pavement princess doesn't even do that very efficiently...

    Silly question why does Toyota have this display on the mileage screen, it goes up to 30 mpg

    Don’t care for mpg. I like watching the green bar go down when I put my foot down, makes me feel good.

    The 30 MPG area of the bar graph is a coast mode indicator.
