What's your 2023 Tundra's Real World Fuel Mileage

Does anyone track their actual fuel MPG in their new 2023 Tundra? I fill up the same way every time, until the pump clicks, wait 5 seconds and then until it clicks again, then I'm done. Past odometer, current odometer against gallons added gives me my exact MPG of each previous tank. What I've found is I'm usually between 0.2 and 0.5 better than what the truck computer shows and I reset it prior to leaving the station each time.

My 2023 Crewmax Tundra gets 20.3 MPG as a lifetime average since Day 1. Do others get better, worse or about the same?

 

Your way more detailed than me I fill up around the 1/4 tank mark, alternate fill-ups between 91 and 88. Seldom reset unless leaving town and running interstates. So all my mpg is city driving. Lots of long stop lights (2-3 min) during early am and 5 pm times, so I use stop/start there. My mpg average (Non HV by the way) is 19.0 to 19.2. On interstate (75 TX & 65 NM) is around 20.7. Vehicle OD is just under 2700 miles.

 

Ironically, I feel like I get better gas mileage on country-ish straight back roads and connecting roads. Where I live, we have 3 major highways all 20-30 mins apart and there are tons of 1 lane in each direction, 10-30 mile long in between, connecting roads that are mostly straight. With speed limits at 40, 45 or 50 on those, I find I can lightly accelerate to around 10 over and then lift a bit to gently coast till back at the speed limit, rinse and repeat. It takes no effort on my part, just slight adjustments to the gas pedal once in awhile, but I can get in the high 23's doing that. On highway, when your foot is always on the gas to some level, I can't get better than 21.5-22 every time I've tried figuring the highway only MPG.

I do that as well on the interstates and it drives the wife mad. She used to always ask “whats wrong?”. Took awhile but finally got her trained adapted to the routine

Each trip we take seems to give slightly better gas milage, so happy with my Tundra.

 

I have mild OCD, but keeping gas/mileage/cost data is way beyond me. That said each one of my guns has a separate spreadsheet with date, loads, rds fired, comments and often target photos with dist, wind cond etc. so maybe my OCD isn’t mild.

 

Just to add - I keep it in ‘normal’ around town and ‘eco’ on the interstate. Don't know if any of that makes a difference…

 

My truck was stock except for 275/60R20 Cooper AT3 4S tires, GoRhino RB20 slims, and a metal Talon cat shield. Averaged between 15 and 16 mpg on suburban roads. Sitting at stop lights affected gas mileage a lot, as well as speeds over 65mph.

 

100%. Too slow and you dont get up into the efficient transmission gears, too fast and you are forcing a brick through the air and killing your MPG's. That 50 mph zone is prime for MPG's in trucks.

 

So far, 17.1mpg lifetime average (5200 miles or so). Using 91 octane for every tank, and we had it in the eco mode for the first 5100 miles. Majority of the life has been spent for a few miles to the highway doing 45mph, few miles on the highway doing 75mph, and then few miles to the barn doing 45-55mph. It towed twice, for a short distance.

No lift, all stock (just added a topper recently), 20" TRD Sport wheel/tire combo, DC, 6.5 bed.

Honestly, pretty bummed about it, as I hoped for closer to 20mpg with the driving that we do.

 

All stock here, so ignorant on changing tires, but doesn’t that throw off your speedo and milage thus mpg?

 

You sound like a counselor or have seen one. Exposure based therapies was pretty specific.

 

23.8 mpg average over 19K miles

 

Fuelly is great to use not just for mileage tracking but maintenance tracking with reminders. I can set it up with all the routine maintenance and it’ll send me a reminder when I either hit the mileage or time.

 

I have a 22, lifetime average on the truck computer is at 18.6

However, as it’s been getting warmer I can get well into the 20’s very easily


I will say if you drive only in town stop and go with stoplights it’s gonna be horrible. These trucks do best mileage wise out on the open road.

 

Agreed, I get 15-16 stop and go. Then, on these Texas highways we run 80 so I'm usually 17-18 at those speeds.

 

Totally stock Hybrid...1.5 hour run ......set Cruise on 60 MPH and got 29 MPG today. Drove thru numerous small communities so mainly highway ....lots of ups and downs, nothing major .

Return trip I was doing 75-85 with no cruise all heavy foot....26 MPG

Hybrid is doing its thing. I was kinda surprised how many times I am flying down the highway at 60-70 MPH and the engine is shut off. I was under the assumption the Hybrid was mainly for around town driving when I bought it

City driving I get 23.5 MPG. I reset after every tank and it is always the same. Love this truck

 

2023 TRD PRO (hybrid)

When I get over 70-75mph the real mileage is around 15.5mpg

Just did 1,200 miles 85% city, county roads, 15% highway 70+. My computer showed 19.6mpg. My hand calculation (tracked all the fill ups) came out at 19.2

last 100 miles is just city and county roads (50 speed limit, doing 59 on cruise) and I'm showing 18.8mpg. Havent ran the actual numbers yet. I've found that when the engine shuts off and you keep the battery power output under 50%, keeping the engine from kicking in, you can get a huge mpg benefit. Not something I'm worried about, but I'm still in that experimenting stage

I think the cruise control eats away from my mpg, as opposed to letting the speed drop 2-4mph on steep inclines but that is to be expected.

Always fill up with 87 although I'm at a high altitude where 85 is the standard grade

 

I get about 17 in the burbs and 20-21 on highway road trips using 87 octane. Almost identical to the 2009 Tacoma I had before.

 

2023 TRD Pro

My commute is mostly highway at 75mph with cruise set. When in town I try and run on battery as much as I can. Sitting at 17.7 mpg.

 

2023 TRD Pro

My commute is country into small town, only about 10 minutes. Just did a 6 hour trip and was thinking my MPG might get better but nope.

Best I have gotten out of a tank was 14.5... I also went to 35" wildpeaks so I cant put all the blame on the truck.

Well... I don't care about the 22's whatsoever. I own a '23. Your mileage is irrelevant to me. On Fuelly.com there's a 16.3 to 17.1 difference between the 2 years. And a pretty good sample size as well. Both well over 100k miles tracked.

 

I'm not the one all butthurt because my precious '22 didn't get included in a mileage post. Notice I took zero issue with any of the guys who posted their numbers from their 2022s? You could have just added yours or scrolled past. But if you want to do the high school passive aggressive routine, you have to assume you'll get "snippy" responses from people who again aren't interested in the past model year.

 

Change the factory calculator on the dash left side to calculate per trip versus per tank. Its in the settings Basically resets every time you start the truck

On the entertainment center, click the car and clear history on every fill up.. Now will calculate " city" or over all driving

Now the truck has one calculating by the trip ( start up to shut off ) and one calculating by the tank ( providing you reset it every tank. )

Your milage will get better. I picked up about 6-9 MPG when I did this

 

Here's where I'm at. Since picking up the crewmax limited 4x4 on February 13th, I've filled up 6 times and logged about 2600 miles so far. Mostly stop and go through town. Probably only 200 miles towing our sxs/trailer. I'll typically fill up when I've got between 1/8 - 1/4 tank remaining.

 

Great method to get the best of both worlds!

 

That's because you are slowing your speed down compared to a interstate.

 

After 2 tanks with new wheels and tires (285 75r18 ) with hand calculation I’m getting 16.1 mpg . I tried to keep the weight low from oem but I think I went up 7 pounds a corner . I was getting 16.5 -17.5 before . I can live with this for now lol

 

well fuelly has a composite for each cal year

2010 : 14.3 @ 294

it goes on for another 10 years but kinda pointless

in a nutshell the v8 vs v6 is about 2.5 mpg difference for now, it will probably go higher once you get more vehicles from 2022 and up that will help smooth out the bell curve that the v6 currently is having to a more flat line higher average.
