2022 tundra gas mileage

Really not hard to break 20 on the highway. I personally think that’s quite acceptable for the size of these things.


Lifetime on the truck about a 1000 miles ago. SR5 TRD OR 22

 

I notice that just the slightest change in driving habits takes my commute from a 16-17 mpg to a 20-21 mpg. Easing into the accelerator to have the electric motor assist on the start and hold steady speeds on the hwy make a huge difference. Speed matters too of course(but I was using the same speeds on my tests) and winter fuel/cold air hurt mileage now, but the difference on the Trip summary when you shut off the engine is quite stark for such little change.

 

I'll have to try the prior suggestions. I've been playing with the sport mode, on my hybrid TRD OR 1794 - and it seems to assist too in boosting the mileage when doing around town driving, once on highway or higher speeds around town, I switch to normal.

 

Interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed that in sport mode

 

Yeah, I was a little surprised myself, and like you wouldn't have guessed it - my thinking would be, that the turbos are set to spin or spinning, and shift points/rpms are elevated... I saw this on a youtube video from a guy that had tried it out - I think he's at a dealership - and has had his own 3rd Gen for about 10 months or more now with 12,000 or so miles on it he said. So, my testing is limited so far, just for the past week that I've noticed it increasing my average mpg - which is interesting. Also, I'm trying to do the takeoffs with less weight on the pedal and letting the electric stay engaged as much as I can - so probably a combination of the 2 methods contributing to things. My around town avg seems to be about 16.5 at this point... so, would like to get that up closer to 20 if I can. I don't know, maybe I should be in eco at the higher speeds/cruising?

 

Last Friday I did a quik trip from metro Detroit to Tennessee. Ran cruise, always set to 4 mph above speed limit. A little above that at times. Avg 22.4 mpg. This in a 2023 SR5 4X4. I was happy.

 

I have a 40 mile commute on country roads, 65mph normally then maybe 10 miles of it in town traffic and street lights. No long trips yet but averaging 18.5 so Im pretty happy with that.

 

yes, get to speed, hit cruise, switch to Eco. Only place that setting is worth anything.

 

So, I'm almost to 2,000 miles - and this weekend, went on some longer rides around town, with lights and stop signs, etc. But, as the weekend has progressed, my mileage has been climbing on the on board computer. Still on the same tank - so when it's done, I'll do the calucation by hand. Saturday night, we went out about an hour or so from home, and by the time I got home, the avg mpg was up to 18. Today, I went to another location, another hour away, when I got home, my avg mileage is now 19 mpg. This is on roads around us, with all the normal lights/stop lights. Also, at one point today, I was doing 70-75 mph for an extended period - all while in "normal" mode. Also, one thing I noticed, is I can get higher mpg, if I don't use adaptive cruise control - though I do like that. If the vehicle ahead of me is changing speed all over the place... the truck will try to keep that distance while it's less than the speed the truck was originally set at. I'm hoping this trend continues with the increases in mpg!

 

I have a 22 SR5 TRD OR and can’t get over 14.4 mpg. I drive about 10 miles each way to work and baby it in eco mode. This is on back roads in Miami so there is traffic. Average 30 minutes to drive 10 miles. I now have 2700 miles and hope it just needs to break-in some more.

 

Just hit 500 miles on my Capstone. Through the mountains from Pittsburgh to Hampton Roads VA in cold windy weather and 34psi tires, mostly highway at 80mph, and managed mid-18mpg range. In traffic it crept up to 21mpg around DC, but I was going 80-90 after that and brought it back down again.

 

Same.

 

Me too! I'm 1400 miles in, 65/35 city/highway and my overall avg is 16.1 mpg. I baby the throttle.

 

These colder temps hurt fuel mileage on these trucks.

 

My best single drive was a 30 mile trip of 50/50 highway and city for 26.7mpg. second best was a 75% highway trip between Woodbridge and Richmond VA for 24mpg. Short around town trips I'm still averaging over 21mpg. If you're getting below 18mpg with a Hybrid, it's not the truck, it's the driver.

 

I wouldn’t use Eco Mode. I believe it tries to upshift too soon or something and does more to hurt mileage. I have just over 3,200 miles on a Limited OR 4X4. I haven’t hit 22 yet on the highway, but have hit 21.5 doing 75 +/- 5 using Normal Mode. Around town I use mostly Sport Mode and get 17-20 depending on traffic and my driving. The only thing I’ve done is changed to TRD air filters. Don’t know if it really made a difference.

 

Are you driving the hybrid? If so, perhaps it was worth giving up the rear under seat storage space. I managed to get 25mpg with my 2016 Tacoma (had CAT Back and TRD CAI). Hope to hit that in this Tundra without the expense of a CAT Back.

 

Yes Hybrid, I personally don't mind the battery back there. Not like the floor is flat anyways.

 

Trd crew max… I found sweet spot of 63 mph and 54 …. Approx 50 miles to work per day… I can’t complain

 

That's excellent for any pickup truck (other than that abomination Ford Maverick hybrid thing). Is that even a hybrid?

 

no hybrid . Yeah I’m happy

 

there are 4 info's that people should be displaying when they speak about their mpg

the end of trip info
the current evic info

the current drive on infotainment
the recent drives on infotainment

it would help if people showed all those, it would give the userbase a idea how well the trucks are running, is the evic always showing shit end of trip mpg? Does your infotainment show recent trips as all city and killing your mpg, you get the idea, there are so many variables.

The only truth behind all of this is seems like 98% of owners do not get close to EPA #'s city/hwy #'s. This is the first vehicle I have ever owned that did not meet or exceed EPA #'s

 

It’s not going to break in and all of a sudden get 20mpg. Your drive just doesn’t allow Good mileage. My trucks at 13k I haven’t noticed any mpg gain over time. But I do get better mileage in the summer of course. Driving 33” ko2’si get get 22mpg driving 55. Driving 70 it’s more like 17. Unless I’m in heavy traffic then I’m in the mud 20’s. Daily driving to work on my short hilly drive with 5-10 minutes of winter warm up I’m averaging around 12. None of my mileage is any mystery. Just pay attention and use your brain.

 

To really get an idea, here are some factors one should post along with pictures of Trip Summary.

Drive mode: ECO , Normal, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Custom
Gas or Hybrid:
Top Tier fuel:
Octane:
City/Hwy %:
Speed estimate:
Terrain comments:
Outside Ambient temp:

 

Only had one fill up so far, still breaking the engine in. Hand calculated at 18.4 mpg first go round. Even mix of city and highway. 4x4 crewmax.

 

2022 Platinum I-Force Max, 7k miles in so far. Averaging 15-18 mpg on winter blend gas and “D” rated tires(Wildpeaks) weighing 58lbs per tire.

VS my old truck:

2008 Crewmax, 5.7L, 208K averaged 12-15 mpg with “E” rated tires(Michelin) weighing 53lbs.

Enjoying the new truck and all the comforts, but can’t wait to hook up my camper in a few weeks. Do Not buy a new Tundra and think that your gas mileage will improve drastically. As you can see I improved about 3 mpg all things being very equal IMO. No regerts!

 

4K miles on my 23 limited now, non-hybrid. My commute is 40 miles one way, generally country roads 55-65Mph, some city miles but maybe only 10-12 of the 40 and still generally 50Mph. I average between 18-19MPG, some trips 21.5. NO way my 08 could get close to that. I drive pretty easy, eco mode and normal mode but dont see a major difference. Someone else mentioned also but I think the sweet spot is 55-64MPH. But generally a tank of fuel averages 18.5. Ive seen 20-30 miles trips in the 19-22.5 range.

Filled up today and saw a range of 500 Miles for the first time.

 

23 Plat Hv, 87octane, Temp 34
First picture cruise set 85

Second picture cruise set 75

Third picture cruise set 72

 

269 miles on the platinum, mixed driving, 18.7 mpg. Still has the fuel fill from dealer delivery, so I assume it is 87 octane here in CO. I am certain there will be a gain from using premium fuel, and the weather warming up.

I've been using Fuelly to track mine. Its been getting better. The screen has been pretty accurate! current tank shows ~18mpg on the screen.
