Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

[Brandonium]

This is true.. I just can't cope with the jams and delays driving like that causes on the freeway. I drive mostly state highways and secondaries but there are times when I drive interstate. Just no real need for it with where I am located and what I do on a daily basis.

Stating the obvious maybe, but driving 55-60mph provides a significant increase in fuel economy over driving 75-80mph.

This is how I justified to the wife that I needed to buy a URD Y-Pipe, Catback and TRD Intake so I can maximize fuel economy...:behindsofa:

16L / 100km, don't know the conversion to miles. All city drivng.

That is 14.78 mpg - you have easy in Canada: truck shows trip in km, fuel pump in liter (like in Eurpoe). I fuel my truck at the pump in liters, but the trip odometer shows miles :shrug:. Now for example what is the gas mileage when I fueled 57 liters and the trip shows 270 miles? Of course, easy with calculator but not in my head at the pump.:madgrin: Unless I invent a new unit: miles from liter or liter per 100 miles :crutch:

Any more these days I do not feel the need to be in any hurry to get anywhere in a rush. With all the hassles of driving on the Interstate system it just isn't worth it. Besides the back roads are more fun to drive, I got this from riding motorcycles. So I get the best of both worlds, better fuel millage and less stress.

I'm mostly hauling kids, so time is of the essence for me these days. Otherwise, I agree.

checking in at 18k+ miles. i am at 18.2mpg since new. it has gone down a little in the past 6 months since my wife has been driving it (heavier foot). probably over 80% city driving.

 

[Throwback]

My on-board computer reads 18.9mpg.

All stock with Michelin LTX AT2 (P265/70/17) @ 32psi.

Daily commute is 7 miles of 55mph hilly highway, then 5 miles of stop-and-go.

Update:

I reset my MPG gauge after this post so two weeks of fresh data. I'm stuck right at 20.0mpg average now.

In addition I'm also driving about 100 miles of interstate at 70mph each week.

2017 getting really bad mileage?

First, I drive tons of highway So you would think it'd be in the higher end of the spectrum. However I'm averaging 15.1-2. All stock TRD PRO. Searched and saw some older threads with no resolution?

 

[stphnman20]

Are you having any trouble with the speed? lol

How fast are you going?

 

[Warpkor]

Speed kills the mileage

I drove from Sacramento to Weed, CA which is up near Shasta. I had my foot on it to maintain 75 miles an hour. Barely got 16 miles to the gallon. From Weed, CA to Bend Oregon, there was a ton of folks spooked by snow and ice on the road doing lots of miles in the low 50's and got 21 miles to the gallon.

 

[High_Country]

Yup. Speed I'll bet. If you're a 75-80mph kinda guy, get used to it.

 

[wcjeep]

We have 3 tanks of fuel so far on wife's 2017 Offroad Premium. 16.3 and 16.9 mpg. Don't recall the other tank mpg. This is mostly her driving in the city. She has a lead foot. Your Pro does have different tires.

Our vehicle is completely stock. She carries about 30lbs of stuff (jumper cables, minor tools, blanket). Tire pressure is whatever the dealer set.

i'm bad about speeding and have KO2's and still don't see my MPG in the 15's, does the extra height on the TRD PRO really make that much difference?
[MENTION=151705]Mikeith[/MENTION] the first thing to check when dealing with unexpectedly low MPG is always tires. Are your tires properly inflated?

I assume that is per the door sticker? (I don't have a TRD Pro, I don't know what the recommended pressure is)

My '15 TE had BFG 275's, CAI, and I always carried about 100lbs of random tools for Murphys law moments. The best mileage I calculated doing highway driving was north of 19mpg. I had to watch my top speed and accel and decel but it was definitely not easy. It's been discussed here many times, watch your cargo weight, tire pressure, driving habits affect mileage too.
I tried to challenge myself once by following the ECO light and bar, never allowing the bar to hit far right/flash or disappear. It requires so much discipline but I hit 21 mpg on that tank. Not easy but can be done. I don't like driving like a snails grandma which is how you have to in order to keep that ECO light on all the time

Is this a hand calculated or on-board computer calculated? Try hand calculating it and keep the eco light on when accelerating.
