Our 2018 TRD Off Road Premium is averaging 19 and that is with the wife driving it. If I drove it I'd be getting over 20. Depends on where you drive and how well you drive it. I'm pretty much a perfectionist at driving. I'm constantly seeing other drivers making all kinds of little mistakes while driving. All of which add up to poor mileage.

I am really sorry man but ...... you are ghhhay or you are either 89 years old and I doubt it but how can you be a perfectionist when driving ??? So damn many factors when you are on the road......
Again this comment is arrogant or weird. No disrespect, well I am still thinking about that.

2017 TRD ORP w/8k miles. I drive 64 miles round trip to work daily. Half on roads at 45 mph the rest is interstate at 65-70mph. The display shows 18.5mpg. I manually keep my expenses/mileage with an app and it averages between 17 to 20 per fill up. This varies a bit with temperature - colder is worse and seasonal gas mix. Winter mix is worse. On an interstate trip of about 8hrs I can get up to 22. Cruise seems to also get me a bit better mpg.

Not ghhhay. Certainly not. Gotta say I'm hetero sexual to an extreme! Not old either. Would you call NASCAR or F1 drivers gay or old? Those drivers are perfectionists too. One small mistake can mean the difference between victory and loss or worse, tragedy.

I was getting about 20-20.5mpg in mostly highway/some city, until I aired down from 36psi to 32psi for an offroad trail in Bishop CA.
Ever since then it's been about 19-19.5.
What speeds are you averaging in traffic would you say? How often can you get into 4th and 5th gear?
If you're never in those gears, 13mpg sounds like it's possible.
Also, what octane gas are you using? I use 91. Heard it gives a bit of a power boost, too, and given all the experience I have tuning and logging AFR, knock, etc in my 2010 Mazda MX-5, I'm 99.999% sure the power gain on 91 octane is legit. Anyway, that's a separate subject, but the mpg certainly changes a bit based on octane.

I’ve got an 18 off-road premium. I’m at sea level in south Mississippi. It’s been stock for the first 7200 miles and according to the on board mpg it’s averaged 19.7. I know that’s not completely accurate but it seems to match up with most of the others running stock . I just had a spacer lift and 285 Toyo ATII’s put on about 800 miles ago. The tires are P rated which seem to help a lot and I’ve noticed about 1 to 1.5 mpg loss.

Long time lurker here, about to buy a TRD OR this May and I can't help but notice that in all of the fuel economy threads it seems like no one ever takes into account the tire diameter if they have upped to larger OD like 285/70/17's. That will through off your odometer just like it does your speedometer and make the mileage look worse than it actually is.
I know this can't be used as complete science but just to give an example... my current rig is a 2005 Tundra double cab with 285/70/17 which are a good amount taller than the OEM tires that came on the SR5. Its a larger percentage taller than the OEM TRD OR 4Runner going from 265/70 to 285/70. I think my OEM tires were 265/65/17 (shorter than 4runner). In any case, if I compare GPS to my odometer, my odometer is close to 20% off. So when the math shows I am getting 13.6 mpg, I am actually getting more like 16.3 mpg.
Am I missing something completely obvious or is this something that it seems everyone is not thinking about when taking into account larger tires?

Also note that some people quote their Lie-Ometer (Toyota MPG gauge) rather than divide recorded miles by purchased gallons.

Very true! Another aspect that can through things off.
