    EasyAndy's MPG Analysis (winter gas redux)

    Still gotta get jabs in huh? Saying how we focus on words more than content? I said I learned from your posts and was just stating how you introduced the topic as it was something I should have known rather than say "hey dude, check this out" ...so your people skills seems to not be the best in...

    OK... Not trying to butt heads and I have learned something now. I look forward to Spring/Summer months to check MPG. My snipping was related to talking about gas mileage and then we get a random reply about winter gas. Rather than mention "it may be because of winter gas" in which case I would...

    And before you yell at me like the other guy for wanting to argue and/or telling us to do research first.... Hard to research something I have never heard of. And if I typed into google trying to sleuth why gas meage sucks.... Winter gas does not come up unless you know of it... And most did...

    Pardon my ignorance for not looking up "Winter gas", which is something o have never heard of when comparing gas mileage....??? Now that I have... An Internet search seems to state it is somewhat BS. Considering that unleaded gasolines have ratings and such like "87", this dictates the amount...

    My Tacomas also had 270 rathe than 265 tires. I guess I am talking about this being literally like adding a 250 pound passenger to my truck and then my gas goes from 20mpg to 14.8mpg or 100 miles less than expected....

    Of course. I get this. Even with canopy which makes it about same as 4Runner it was still getting the numbers I stated. Average out the plus/minus differences of the two and we are talking only a couple hundred pounds. 17 to 21 should be the worst to best. If it is truly 14.8 which is 2.2 less...

    Gas mileage sucks compared to my tacoma(s) Had a 2008 and a 2013 Tacoma. Both were double cab long beds so should have been the heaviest with the least impressive mileage of Tacoma family. However, I was getting around 20 miles per gallon in both of these averaged between city and highway use...

    Yep. All I was trying to ask is why some are cut and mine seem to not be. One guy here GUARANTEED that they would be cut...but another guy claimed some have it and some do not need it or earlier delivery. See an issue here? I have cranked my tires all the way over and have more than a couple...

    Will try to take pics, but just looked again. I have paint all along and continues smooth, non-cut edge all around...

    I hear you....but the pics of those being cut are on factory TRD PROS with same stock wheels and tires as mine...?

    Got my Black TRD PRO around OCT 20th. Trying to determine from the pics exactly where this cutting is taking place, but I seem to have plenty of clearance and do not have the cutting....???

    Hi, Thinking of getting the N-Fabs also. 4 wheel parts wants to charge almost $200 to install these so want to do it myself. Just went out and checked under mine after seeing the pic. I see 2 holes as you show in back, 2 more in middle, but only one in front. So...because of the confusion of...

    Thanks for replies. Yes, I come from the days of old school and changing at 3k miles. My last couple Tacomas were 5k and when switched to synthetic I ran 9 - 10k. Never had any issues. Cool to know that synthetic is in our rigs and good for 10k between changes!

    Oil and Oil Change Question Hi. New guy here. Followed this thread for awhile and picked up my Black TRD Pro about a month ago. Coming from a 2013 Tacoma, the oil change was every 5k, until I switched to synthetic. Today I got a card welcoming me to Toyota care. It is specific and welcoming...
