2024 Tacoma Hybrid Limited, Infiniti Q50 Hybrid,
Limited Hybrid and best I've been able to achieve is 12.7/100km on various highway road trips averaging 115-120km/h. Do a lot of lift & coast and very little heavy accelerating.
My wife loves this new driving style, normally 130-145 in my Q50.

Not bad for winter driving and running my winter tires/wheels.
Occasional use of high octane also helps but the percent increase is shy of the monetary cost so I limit that to special circumstances. Those being full payload, strong headwinds, climbing passes towing or loaded rack etc....

In most normal circumstances it is easy for me to be in or slightly beat the EPA ratings. I for sure move along but don't have an overly heavy foot. Driving faster than 70 MPH is a killer for economy.

I'm holding out hope. I haven't seen anything close to my EPA numbers yet, when I was spot on with them in my prior vehicle. LTD HV posted as 23/24 and I've only had one tank so far touch on 20. All tanks have likely been winter blend since first fill after the dealer wasn't until November. Most of my driving is in the ~40mph zone. Now I was happy to see that towing a fully loaded utility trailer only dropped my current MPG by about 1 mpg. More time will tell, but I was really hoping that with reported 23/24, I'd at least be seeing 22 as a my median.

I have 33's on my truck and I get 13.7mph. Most of my driving is street light to street light as I have a very short commute to work.

When I drove across Florida, about 150 miles of 75mph cruise control no stops (Florida has no hills either fyi), I averaged 18mpg.

I know I have larger tires, but my stock tires weren't much better. Maybe 1-2 mpg at max!

Very disappointing. My '24 tundra got similar numbers.

Looking to buy a 4th Gen taco soon.
I’m getting 17-18 city and 20-22 hwy MPG on 285/70/17. I’m quite impressed with these numbers. My truck is also a 6 speed manual
