No lol

i asked the dealership about that and they said “that’s the best case scenario and nobody sees that”. So apparently it’s just a suggestion 😂
I’ve got 600 miles on my TRD Sport hybrid, driving like a dream and the power and response have been eye opening good. My MPG is consistently between 23-24, mix of city and highway in the mountains of Tennessee. Which in my estimation is pretty dang good, especially coming from a 19 TRD OR V6 - that thing was lucky to break 17 on a good day on the same routes.

I do miss a few of the OR features but my driving has shifted more towards what the sport is geared for and it’s got a ton of great features in its own right to more than make up for it.

If you’re getting that for mileage, I’m wondering if there is either something wrong with mine or if there’s a setting that’s either engaged or not engaged that is only giving me the 17-19 mph

Auto transmission shifts rough when cold start up. Other than that 2200 miles and no issues besides the low 17 mpg.
I am getting the same low mpg in my TH (1100 miles). Changed to Method 703 rims with Falken 285/70/r17 Wildpeak AT4W.. getting same MPG before tire change as after. (About 500 on each). Not quite the 22-24 as posted.. My 2008 4Runner (4L) got 22-24 mpg.

Maybe my TH is heavier but running the road of East TN, I am only getting around 17mpg.. Driving ECO mode and I drive conservatively (most of the time).

That’s odd. Try going out of ECO, because I found (at least for my driving) that it did little, if anything, to make it more efficient or fun to drive. Sport mode is fun, but generally impractical for most of my driving, but normal is my sweet spot.

I’m in the TRI, so if you are familiar with that region, you know it’s a mix of hills and flats. I drive a fairly straight shot to work on I26 with a couple a good grades but generally reasonably flat. Around town is a mixed bag, but I’m still consistently north of 20/21 in city. I did go with mid-grade fuel, might have made a difference but I wouldn’t think by much.

I’ll try Normal mode.. I live in Oak Ridge, so mix of flat and hills (unless I go over to Smokies). I am surprised by the mileage.. Maybe 20 instead of 22-24 but not 15-17.. I might have gone with a Tundra if I had known that..
Usually get regular, but will try mid grade.. Gas seems to be cheaper up your way as I filled up in Erwin on Friday and it was 70 cents cheaper than around here.. But didn’t know if that was effect of Helene. Was surprised at i26 open 4 lane except that one bridge area. Was up there doing search off I26 for the people from the plastics plant.. Really sad..
