16.6. Mostly local driving. 2014 LE awd, no 3rd row.

Sounds odd. I get 13-16 depending on how I drive with tons of mods. I was getting 20 or so stock IIRC. A lot depends on how you drive, blah, blah, blah. What are your tires set at?
Edit: for city driving 16.6 isn't that bad if you are sitting in tons of Atlanta traffic. A prius this is not!

I do mostly city driving in New Orleans but I do not have a heavy foot.
I'm ashamed to say I don't know what my pressure it on my tires as I have not checked it myself. I got this car in May and had the oil changed at the dealer once. I assume whatever the dealer sets the pressure at.

Overall, I've filled my tank 53 times now, and my mileage varies from about 19.5 to 21.0. In general, I've concluded that the mpg sweet spot for me is about 55-65 mph, and I lose mileage over that. On the other hand, I live in the west and 55 is just way to slow on our 70-80 mph roads.
My experience has been that your mileage will depend on the speed. Driving across west Texas on the interstate, I was getting about 16-17 mpg, but that was at 90+ mph. The best I've ever seen was a 200 mile stretch on Oregon highways where my instrumentation read 25.0 mpg. (Oregon highways are stuck at a speed limit of 55, and they really like to enforce it.)

my average
Is currently 18.7 mpg via the computer. 2014 LE 4x4 3rd row with power running boards if it matters (~11K miles). I have 17" FJ cruiser wheels on it Toyo Open Country AT2's in the stock 17 size. In the winter I run the stock 20's with stock size Blizzaks. I carry jumper cables, some recovery equipment and baby/kid crap almost 100% of the time (estimate 25 lbs).
50/50 highway in town over it's life. Moderate foot. <2% of the time offroad (sadly).
Tow a jet ski occasionally, but I can literally move that thing by hand. ~10% of the time I have a Kuat bike rack with bike(s) on back.
~65% of the time it's myself, my wife and 2 kids. I travel about 75 mph highway .
Can't think of what else would be relevant.
Hope that helps,
Todd

Yep, the only way I get the EPA 20+mpg is at 60-65mph. At 70+ it drops back down to ~18. Our 4runners are just not very aerodynamic.

Another factor in fuel economy is altitude. Some people are surprised to learn that higher altitude = better fuel economy. I easily get 20 mpg in my stock SR5 combined city and highway here in Colorado. But at sea level, it might be closer to 18 (I drive like an old lady).

This is very close to what I get although I have never hit 20 yet.

it all depends on how you fill up. sometimes I go to the first click off, other times I go until it clicks twice.
and that 2nd click can be up to 1-2 gallons more.
