Poll - New 2022 Tundra Owners Please Post Comments on Real World Mileage

I have been putting in non e the last two tanks. I burned 10 gallons of it last week and I got 17.8 hand calculated and the truck screen showed 17.2. My Tacoma consistently got about 1.5 mpg better with non-E. I wish there was a way to calibrate these trucks like you can after market fuel gauges.

 

Funny you say that, in the short 40-60 miles I’ve put on this tank I’m getting 19 mpg. I assume once I get to the end I’ll be getting 17 or so, which isn’t worth the extra cost. Then I’ll use non E once a month or so.

how many miles do have on yours?

 

1500+ miles, it’s cold here so a bit of warming up in the morning for the kids. I’ve run MPG over a few tanks, partial fills, full fill, etc… to see what it gets on highway and mixed. I’m expecting to constantly see 17+ with my driving going forward, but more micro numbers:

Avg with mixed driving - 17
Highway - 21-22
Beating only around town - 16

essentially the truck is good on the highway doing about 65-70. Above that the mileage starts to tail off. Around town, it didn’t matter, 16-17 consistently.

 

Tim posted some great numbers. After a 100 mile cruise at 70mph he ended up with a hand calculated 21.5mpg

Just broke 1000 miles. Your dash isn’t likely going to show an accurate number make sure to hand calculate to compare. I did the math once and it was something like if you get 1.5mpg better with non ethanol then as long as it’s not more then 60 cents a gallon it’s cheaper.

 

He said 24.5 mpg total. A 91 mile trip is hardly a accurate way to test mileage but it is interesting. I have gotten as good as 22 but have yet to drive at temps above 45.

 

One test is hardly a good assessment of mileage. I was hoping he’d come back and say that he’d run the test multiple times. I can get in the 20s with some chill driving downhill but currently hovering around the mid 16s. Only in my second tank and I’m at 5k ft and hasn’t been warmer than mid 40ºs.

 

You're right. I made a mistake.

I am betting it was an early click off. He should have done two clicks per fill.

 

The other day I was filling up and the truck clicked off 4 gallons shy of full..

2500 miles. 4x4 limited Crewmax. 14.8 mpg. Mostly interstate miles.

 

24.5mpg for the 91 mile loop, and dropping to 25mph several times going through small Nebraska towns on a 2-lane highway, then resuming speed to 70mph. Good video, has some info about the oil pressure gauge and about reducing CO2 emissions being a driving force for the move to TTV6.

 

Been lurking this section of the forum out of curiosity as I was recently in a buying position. Ended up picking a 21 as I was scared for a first year model. No idea how but my tanks are averaging around 15.8mpg with winter gas living at 6k feet elevation in the mountains (E rated 33s too). Crazy I am getting better mpg than some people with the new gen. Assuming it comes down to driving style..

 

Keep the real world numbers coming!

Any validation on stock speedo? (What does gps read at 60 vs speedometer?)

Fuelly is a great app. Free. Let’s you sync your account and we can start crowd sourcing some real world numbers. It’s not hard to use. We have enough time at the pump. Just throw in the odometer reading and the ant of gas that gets pumped at the end. Super easy and might help identify trends / patterns / issues! Enjoy those new trucks!

 

High elevation is great for fuel economy. Can’t get enough air to burn fuel in an NA engine.

 

2021 Good decision

 

Most of it (imo) is routine. I drive like a granny or Ricky Bobby and my mileage doesn’t fluctuate all that much. Last 4 vehicles have shown me to be at the low end of average. 90% trips under 10 miles and warm up idle is what kills my mpg I think. (Honda pilot, WRX, STI, and now the tundra)

I averaged 13 stock (but saw as high as 19-20 on flat hwy trips) and now get 11.5 with slight lift and 34” e rated.

Relevant info- my buddies 2022 sr5 4x4 is averaging 14.5 currently, but drives it like he drove the BMW 335xi it replaced.

 

Yes. I get that from personal experience. Put heavy sliders/ 37" AT tires, skid plates, etc on the Jeep and watched MPG fall dramatically. I'll mod this truck, of course, but ever so slowly and with an eye toward weight. Changed wheels and lost 6 pounds. Now if I personally lose some weight I can justify the aluminum steps.

 

Agreed. Gotta wonder if given half a chance and a light foot that these beasts--even 4wd equipped--won't give at least a solid 20-21mpg.

 

Ok 12.5 is what I calculate with a full tank of gas to empty. 418 miles and drove an extra 20miles after the refuel light came on. Here's the kicker, when I went to fill up the truck it only took 28.10 gallons... 418 miles÷32 gal tank was my math.

 

So you got 15.6 mpg. Nothing to be concerned about..

 

Nice video. Very informative.

 

All these videos seem to show commuting in an empty truck.
I recognize that these trucks are daily drivers for many of you.
Does anyone have any information on how well this 2022 truck stacks up when used as a truck on a loop?
You know ...Loaded down and especially in hilly terrain.
I want to know due to its very heavy weight, how often the turbos are working.

This is very important because I have found that the 5.7 mileage remains the pretty much the same loaded down once you are moving.
Taps on the gas get you over hills if you want decent mileage. Towing is another story altogether.
I do not think that taps on the gas are going to do it for the 2022 loaded down, without triggering the turbos.
I personally want to know what the loaded down mileage is like .
Thank You for any input.

 

Loaded down ....not towing.
Meaning space behind front seats is full of people or stuff.
The Bed is full. Carrying at or over payload.

 

Good video. Like your friend I typically get 21 in my Tacoma on 70-75mph road trips so getting ~ this same mpg in a Tundra is acceptable. And for the comments about loaded mpg, we'll see. For sure it won't be 21, and probably won't be a whole lot better than the old V-8. But if 80% or more of your driving is unloaded or just people moving there is a lot of savings to be had, especially if gas prices increase.

 

This is what I am getting at here guys... I use my truck as a truck. These numbers would be very helpful. 8^0

 

LOL... Many of us here use our trucks like a truck... except when we're not.

 

^^^^
Lol - meaning every time I use my truck.... it is loaded. So these numbers mean something to me
My wife's car gets 7.5 liters/100 kms.
if I am just going somewhere I/we grab it to use.

 

From a towing perspective the new truck from the videos I have seen is an improvement and seems to have done really well with the way Toyota have tuned it. If someone was towing alot this is good as long as the reliability is there with the new engine/turbos. jmo.

 

Loaded really should be similar to towing, IMO if not even a little better.
