26.4 MPG

[realbert]

I have a 6ft Off Road (Premium) and with 1,275 miles I am averaging 19.2 mpg. The best I've seen is 21.1 mpg. I don't know what the break-in period is on this engine but so far I think 20ish is pretty good. I did install the TRD high flow engine air filter (K&N equivalent) and saw some improvement.

You might have a look at this thread and see if it applies.

EDIT: Looked it up and I don't see how it could have much of an effect. It only hits the brakes when you get close to a vehicle ahead of you.

I’ve got a stock TRD Sport Hybrid, and 24-26 seems pretty normal for most of my driving and commuting. I’ve been able to baby it up to 29.5 driving from the tip to tail of Delaware, but it is an exceptionally flat state. Up in the mountains in PA it tends to range from 17 to the low 20s, unladen.

120 mile round trip almost all highway on Thursday, will post my highway mileage. I know it will be significantly lower as the staties are letting us drive 75-80mph in NH.

What is your average highway mileage?
I have a gas model TRD Sport and I just went to Chicago from Western KY. I guess half city and half hwy 60 mph limit most of the way and that is what I set the cruise on. Averaged about 22.5 the first half and 24 mpg the last half. My normal work drive and around town if I’m easy on it is about 20 mpg.

60 miles at 5am, cruise control at 78mph most of the way only 18.2mpg Temp was only 26 degrees
60 miles home at 4pm, variable speeds, a lot in the 80-85mph range 22.1mpg Temp was 44 degrees
I knew temperature affected mpg negatively, but was surprised at it being that much

This is nuts. I haven't seen anything over 16 mpg.....and I'm babying the hell outta the pedal. No extra weight besides 275's.....maybe something is wrong with the truck? Driving a Trailhunter

Same with me.. TH with 285s..

I would say driving without cruise control and at a higher variable speed had more to do with it than the temp. The temp most likely did have some affect.
