    What can I do to my 2017 Tundra TSS 4x4 to get better gas mileage? I’m getting 14.0 miles a gallon

    Just a warning..... Gas Mileage threads are a touchy subject around here. I am going to go ahead and summarize all responses:

    1. Trade it for a Prius

    2. Did you look at the EPA mileage ratings on the sticker when you bought it? 13/17? You will more than make up the added few costs through reliability and higher resale value on the back end.

    I am just having fun of course.

    Oh and one more response you are going to here.

    1. Use the search function as there is already 25,000 threads on this subject.

    2. Beating a dead horse symbol:

    Tyler I am just having fun with you, in all seriousness ai average 15.6 MOG tracked by Fuelly app over the first 35k mikes of owning my truck. I can tell you that I can actually get 17 to 18.5 MPG if I keep the truck between 55 to 65. Anything over that and mileage really starts to suffer. I averaged about 80 to a trip to Florida and got 15.7.

    I actually found that my onboard computer is usually within .2 to .3 compared to my fuel up. Finally calculates 15.5 and computer says 15.2 to 15.8.

    Track your miles and see if you are really getting 14. In all honesty you probably are.
