    I'm a first time Tundra owner and I'm very happy with my purchase and the only thing I'm concerned is the MPG I'm getting. I've owned the truck for 3 weeks now and I'm getting only 13 mpg combined every fill up on manual calculations. Do I have to bring the truck back to the dealer for them to check if something is wrong with the truck or do I wait till I put in more miles on it. I have about 800 miles on it. Help.

    Truck needs time to learn and adjust. You will probably only get ~15 city with little highway.

    I was planning on bringing it for service! I want to get the mpg stated on the fine print which states 15 city / 19 hwy / 16 combined. I want to get what I pay for.

    I live 7.5 miles from work ...
    But I workout at a gym that's 15.5 miles from home (23 from
    Work) which is mainly highway...occasionally, I hit the tow/haul button on it and step on it....that drops that number pretty quick haha.

    ...other than that, I don't drive her too hard when I don't have to...when I do, I whisper an apology to her haha.
