Whats everyone getting for MPG?

I wondered why Costco stopped selling Techron by the case. Thanks for that info.

Here’s an interesting map of how gasoline prices vary throughout the US, as of March 2023.

16mpg avg stock. It's because of my short commute, anything I've owned gets the city avg because I only travel 14 miles each way and the warm up time + 80mph hwy. I guess it beats the 12-13 I was getting with my Tundra but I don't drive enough for it to bother me. I just wish it had a larger gas tank.

 

24mpg!? I’ve never hit past 20.4 and I drive very conservative.

 

I've gotten over 21, even with a roof rack, before I added armor and bigger tires. This was all highway, averaging around 65 MPH.

But, a 10 mile test based on the computer's estimated fuel economy doesn't really prove anything, either.

 

I never get to check with all highway driving 20.4 was my best with a mix of highway and city. I’m Typically around 18 combined these days, just kind of stopped giving a shit lol.

 

Just curious, was this figure calculated (miles divided by gallons) or off the dash display?

 

I can easily achieve 22.5 - 23MPG while driving to work in the morning. It's 32 miles, and 98% of it is highway. No stop-n-go traffic. I set the cruise @ 65MPH and just enjoy the ride. There are no hills or elevation changes. I'm in North Central Texas; AKA Flat Land Country!

My rig is almost stock, no lift or heavy armor (but even that wouldn't impact it much), I do have heavier tires. I swapped out the OEM tires for Falken Wild Peaks.

I have been averaging 20.5 for the tank average. Ironically, when driving home from work, I get 18 - 20MPG. I imagine because there's more stop-n-go traffic.

 

I drive 85-90 mph in my daily commute and get 18.5 mpg

 

Damn man, that's dangerous and very irresponsible.

 

Say what?

Some places that the flow of traffic. Mine has been clocked at 98.

 

Maybe its cause of my 285s but anything over 75mph and I get 13-15 mpg.

 

Do you have a roof rack? That's the single worst mileage killer for me (aside from speed and environmental factors).

Tires are probably the next biggest factor for me. But, I've gotten 19.9 MPG on 295 MT's without the roof rack and cruising at ~60 MPH.

What kind of 285's? Load range?

I have 2 sets of tires, AT's and MT's. I use the AT's during the winter. They're load range C, but I'm thinking I'll get SL's the next time around.

 

No rack at all, just some 45 lb c load 285s. I rarely go over 65mph(which that gets me 19-20mpg) as I don't travel on highway for my commute.

 

Wow, that's light for a C. What tire?

 

Goodyear territory mt. There's a thread i made in the tire/wheel section.

 

Depends on the situation. It's definitely not the right vehicle for weaving in and out of traffic at high speed. But, it's surprisingly comfortable cruising at 85-90 if there's no traffic.

I hit 110+ in my 4th gen.

 

Pulling a 5x8 trailer across the US. Getting as low as 11mpg and as high as 16 mpg. We have a 2022 4Runner stock 2 wheel drive.

 

This is my new personal best. I even had a few hundred pounds of camping gear loaded up on my way to the lake last weekend. I was pretty impressed with 23 mpg. I think the breeze was at my back though, that had to have been one reason.

 

I can hit that too; the thing you should be bragging about is your tank average:

 

Most I've gotten is 23 MPG on flat interstate.

On the same flat interstate, I've gotten 41 MPG in my GTI.

I know comparing watermelons to apples, still interesting to me.

 

You got me on that one, my tank avg is 18.6

 

Yeah homie, this ain't a sprint, it's a marathon! It's all about how you do in the long run.

 

On my same daily commute, (back when I had a 2023 Sonata SEL Plus - for all of 3 months) I would easily get 44MPG. The tank average always hovered around 39MPG. I wasn't even trying to hyper mile. In fact, I would do 70 - 75MPH. In the 4Runner, I have to keep it at 65MPH or else the MPG's drop dramatically.

That whole lower center of gravity thing and less rolling resistance really impacts the mpg's one can get.

 

Yup that's absolutely correct. The 4Runner is a box that rides high, the air resistance on it is tremendous.

 

I've never reset the "last reset" reading on any of the 5th gen 4runners I've run, thinking it would show a lifetime reading on mpg...

My '16 read 19.7 at trade-in, my '18 read 20.8

My current '22 just reached 19.8

 

Downtown, city 13 to 14 mpg 40mph
highway 15 to 17 mpg 70mph
Long drive 18 to 19 mpg 70mph

The day I buy the 4runner said 400 miles
Next day said 300 miles
Now said 280 miles

3,500 miles from Ohio to Montana and back . The best MPG I got on this trip was 20.0 and 19.6 using 10% ethanol top tier gas with detergent from Sinclair and Love’s respectively

 

I drive maybe 40-50 miles per week. All driving is 4-5 miles / 10-12 min. 98% of my driving is this pattern. I get 15mpg driving exactly speed limits on all roads.

Road trip in July up to Cambria, I did about 900 miles and averaged 21mpg. Peak was 23mpg.

After my OTT tune, MPG was exactly the same in all driving patterns.

 

2018 4Runner TRDOR 70k miles

My fat ass

I'm getting 15.7-16.3 with a mix of freeway and city.
